Losing friends, at any age is hard, but it feels even harder when it happens in your teens, at school, and even harder when you’re chronically ill. I got glandular fever when I was 16, just before all my exams that year and consequently missed them all. I decided to leave the school I was at …
Hey guys! My name is Maddie and I’m a high school junior and lifestyle blogger. The 2018/2019 school year is coming to an end, which means summer is almost here! However, that also means finals and AP (or IB) tests are among us, which is quite the stress-inducer for most of us. Starting out the …
Ahh, the dreaded friendship breakup, although I’ve never experienced a relationship breakup I’m going to argue that a friendship breakup is harder because you never really prepare for them to happen.

Like lots of people, I have a love-hate relationship with social media, specifically Instagram. I love it for sharing my favourite memories and giving me an excuse to get creative with photography. But I hate the pressure I feel to look “perfect” or to have the “perfect” life. Lately, I’ve been working on comparing myself …
Hi Everyone! I’m super excited that Elina reached out to me to ask if I wanted to be a part of her #TeenTalk series. I think it’s very important that we share our experiences with each other and create a community, because as teenagers we have a lot going on and it can be nice …
