For Any Little Girl

Dear little girl

Don't listen to the mean boys at school.

They probably have a crush on you,

So don't let them hurt your feelings.

Dear little girl

Don't listen to the mean girls at school.

They have problems of their own, so just be nice.

Dear little girl

Always be kind,

Even when others are mean.

Dear little girl

Never let anyone tell you

That blue is a "boy color."

Dear little girl

Always be generous,

But not too generous.

Dear little girl

Never ever judge anyone,

Until you know who they are on the inside.

Dear little girl

Never give up.

If you give up,

You'll never know whether it was worth it or not.

Most times it is.

Dear little girl

Try hard in school.

You won't regret it.

Dear little girl

Never let anyone tell you that you can't do something

Because you are a girl.

Dear little girl

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in,

Wear whatever you want.

Because It's your body

And your clothes

And you can do whatever you want with them.

Dear little girl

Don't be in a hurry to grow up.

It goes by way too fast

And you'll never get it back.

Dear little girl

You don't need a boyfriend in sixth grade.

Even if the other girls have one.

Focus on school

It's not like you're gonna die lonely

If you don't have a boyfriend at age 12.

Dear little girl

Don't listen to anyone's opinion

Except for your mom's.

Dear little girl

I know it's hard to figure yourself out.

But keep your head up.

You'll find yourself somewhere.

Dear little girl

Stay strong through everything.

Even if the weight feels like too much to carry.

Dear little girl

Crying is okay.

You need it every once in a while

Dear little girl

Strive to be a good person.

Don't let down

The little girl

That you'll have someday.

Dear little girl

Whatever happens

Always be yourself.

Do not let anyone or anything

Change you.

Love,

A little girl

Who learned all of this

The hard way.
