What would you say to someone who is nervous?

If I am nervous or people around me are, I try to remind them that they are always their harshest critic and that there is nothing they have to fear.

Calm down, it's just something little and you can get through it!
What is something you've learned about people?
Charlotte, age 18
Something I have learned about people is that everyone has something they are going through at any given time so it is always best to be kind.

What is your best life advice?
Charlotte, age 18
My favorite life advice is to never let fear keep you from doing something you think you will love; even if it goes wrong, at least you tried!

My favorite life advice is to keep trying and never give up on what you love!
Also, if someone doesn't believe that you can do something try your best, and believe that you can do it!
