What was going on in your life when you were 13? Was it the "best of years"? The "worst of years"? If you could give your 13 year old self a gift, what would that gift be?

Ok... I have some good answers but I've got to get ready for work RIGHT NOW or I'm going to be LATE yet again. So, those great answers will be delayed until very late tonight, and possibly even tomorrow. Blessings!
When I was 13 yrs. I started going steady with my first boyfriend. It wasn't the worse years of my life but I would not say it was the best either. I wished I could be that naive again:) I would give the gift of confidence to myself at that age...so unsure of myself and wanted to be liked.
When I was 13 I was very busy being rebellious and alienating everyone around me, which made it a very difficult time. In retrospect though, when I look back, I can see that it was necessary for me to do this because it was the only way I knew to be true to myself. Had I buckled under the pressure, had I tried to be liked, had I insisted on fitting in - I would have lost the essential me. And I am so proud of my 13 year old self that she stood firm and stayed uniquely herself.
I would give her the gift of love. Self love. If I could reach back in time, I would surround her with love, I would support her with love. And I do, right now, love that 13 year old rebel nonconformist very much.
