Take it or Leave it?

    What was the best advice someone has given you? Did you use the advice? Did it help? The best advice I have gotten was from my mom saying to me just because one individual or a whole group thinks negatively about you and what you do doesn't mean you have to be effected by it. Yeah, we all have our limits but someone's negative opinion shouldn't hurt another. Leave the negativity with the negative mind. This advice my mom gave me did help me a lot growing up because often when I was younger a lot of kids would think poorly of me and when they would see my reaction to it they'd use it against me. After a while I'd often used her advice and it felt like all the negativity had stopped in my world because I was technically blocking it from my mind which I still do. When a person says something to me I don't like I ignore because we all have opinions and we can't change that. Now I'm carry this advice so strongly that I physically don't look effected by it. I didn't look or feel vulnerable like I used to instead I developed into a mature teen that can handle opinions more then a regular teen can at this time of age.
