As 2009 comes to an end, some teen girls may look back and think about all of the mistakes they made in 2009, and recall all of the year’s bad and embarrassing moments. They will plan to do better in 2010. But what does, “Plan to do better” really mean?
For some it means things like: get a boyfriend, get invited to a lot of parties, or just to be more popular. (Whatever that means…)
But for others it can mean: try harder in school, don’t give up on things so easily, or listen to mom/dad/guardian more…
While the tasks like trying harder and listening may seem smaller in comparison to getting a boyfriend or suddenly becoming popular, they might actually be more realistic.
This New Year when thinking about your resolutions, make sure you focus on the ones that will help you the most in the long run. These are the ones that will lead you to true happiness.
