Dear Lizzie,
I know how hard it is when you’re in high school. I’ve been doing some research, and it doesn’t seem that way just for you. In other words, you’re not alone when it comes to feeling isolated in adolescence. Others have felt the same way.

So here’s my advice. Just keep your eyes on the bright side of life, and look for the beauty in other people, as well as the beauty in nature, too. Keep away from the ugly side of life; there are enough bad things in life dragging people down, after all. That’s how life is sometimes, of course.

Just keep one thing in mind: Looking on the bright side is usually a good idea.

Respectfully yours,
