Dear 13 Year Old

Dear thirteen year old,
Don't stress out over grades. Yes it is a good thing to make all A's. And yes it is important to study, but just because you make one or two or even more bad grades doesn't mean you are dumb. The world will not end. You should always try your hardest and make an effort, but don't get to overwhelmed because it will make it even harder to learn.

Don't compare how you did on a test to how other people did. You may study really hard and understand the information, but are not a good test taker. Also they may just be a good guesser. You never know. It is easy for you to think that the only thing that matters is your grades but it isn't. It is okay for you to have a B or maybe even a C. Try your hardest and give an effort. Thats what really matters.

Signed a fourteen year old.

  1. I couldn't agree more about the grades statement. You shouldn't stress to much over grades and you certianly should not compare grades to other people because of what you said, but that might also make you even more stressed out.
