There are so many things that I wish I would have figured out earlier, things that have made my life easier since I learned them. So why not share them with you all? If they have made my life easier, maybe they will do the same to yours.
1. Who cares what others think?
Nothing else matters than what you think of yourself. Stop living life to impress others. It is your life and one day, everyone else will be gone. At one point or another, it will be just you. If you spent all your time changing yourself into something that someone else wanted, then you will not be happy when that time comes.

2. Nobody can hurt you unless you let them.
People can only hurt your feelings if you let them. Once you give up the power, then others can knock you down.

3. Smart is beautiful.
Whoever said being a geek is a bad thing is flat out wrong. Sure we use the word to poke fun at certain times, but being smart is nothing to be ashamed of. In 10 years, the popular kids will no longer be popular. The people who took the time to learn and make something out of themselves are going places. The extremely successful people in this world are well educated and well rounded.

4. Popularity is for mediocre people.
What is popularity? Who sets the limits on who is popular and who is not? Let me let you in on a little secret, for the most part, popular people do not have substance. They strive for attention to cover up their insecurities.
5. Time does not stop.
Time is not guaranteed. When we are born, we are not stamped with how many years, days, or hours we have to live. Tomorrow could never come. Live out today. Be the best person you can be today.

6. People are always watching.
I know I said you should not care what others think, but there is a flip side. Sometimes, you could be the only source of light in a person's life. You could be the only source of Jesus. You could be the only smile they see all day. So watch yourself, and be mindful of your actions.

7. You are a masterpiece.
God made you to be you. It hurts him when you are not satisfied with what you have. Be proud of your body, your looks, your life. God does not make mistakes.

8. People change.
People come in and out of our lives for a reason. We loose people from out lives each day but we gain some as well. They each alter our path someway or another for some reason.

9. You are stronger than you believe.
Your body can physically do so much more than you think, it is your mind that sets you back. Push through the barrier and see what you can do. Set goals and work hard to reach them. Once you clear your mind and simply look at what you want more than anything, you can achieve anything.

10. You grow up fast.
Like #5, time does not stop. Childhood is such a crucial developing stage and so many kids want to race through it. When you look at your life as a whole, under 20 years is spent "growing up." Yes, people will argue that you are always argue, but you are only a child for so long. You spend 18(ish) years at home and then you are off, into the real world. Children want to be adults and adults want to be children, it is a viscous cycle.
