Next year is gonna be big. You'll be going to high school, and if you're like me, you'll be going to a new school. One of the hardest challenges I've ever faced was trying to fit in and impress people. I just want you to realize that you don't have to impress anyone, but if you do, make sure that the way you impress them isn't hurtful to anyone else.
Never worry about how you look or act around other people. In ten years, odds are they won't be that important to you anymore. That said, make good friends. One friend that you can trust to steer you in the right direction is better than one that acts out and makes you laugh. Live lightly, and don't let the stress and anxiety of high school get to you. It's sort of funny, here I am lecturing you while I struggle with the same things. I wish you the best of luck.

That's pretty cool, it's like you're talking to the 8th graders.
