I think the most important thing when growing up is acceptance. Accepting that some people you will get along with and others you won't. Its about accepting the changes happening to you and embracing the body you have because unlike most things, it'll be with you for a lifetime!
I'm personally quite self-conscious but I don't usually show it. At the age of 12/13 I started to wear makeup after discovering my favourite beauty bloggers and youtubers. I loved it because it was a fun, creative outlet that gave me slightly more confidence. However, no one should hide behind their makeup because we should all feel beautiful in ourselves! Makeup, or no makeup. It's one of these things that is WAY easier said than done and I'm still working on it myself, but its to accept and embrace YOU. Yes, that includes your spots, blemishes, hair colour, eye colour, figure and whatever makes you, you.
It's so easy to look around and compare yourself to everyone else, as if they have no insecurities themselves. I admit it! I've done it and I bet you have too.
You cannot be all things to all people. Be unique. Be different. Give to others what you want yourself, and do what you were made to do. After all, the happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have. Accept you for you, because you are your own version of beautiful.
