True Beauty is more than just skin deep. The hottest person in school isn't necessarily beautiful. Beauty is more than just being pretty; it is the presence of what's on the inside (your character) that shines through the outside (physical appearance). Your looks don't determine your beauty, your heart does.
All the pressure you get to dress like your peers is nonsense; the way you dress doesn't determine your beauty either. In the end physical beauty will leave, whether sooner or later, but your character lasts a lifetime, and even an eternity.
Feel beautiful because you are, and God says you are, not because other say you are or not.

Making Good Time
Use your time wisely. After all, we only get so much of it in a lifetime. Is everything you do worth the investment of time you put into it? You may not like the amount of time you have or when you must spend it.
Spend time on things that last longer. Naturally you would rather spend time saving money for a more durable item that you can enjoy or use longer. According to Isaiah, two things last forever: the Word of God (Himself) and the souls of men. Invest time in the Word and the welfare of your fellow man. Redeem the time by investing it wisely.

"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All
we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (Gandalf)

The Word is Love
"In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - John 1:1
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:14
Since God is the Word and the Word became flesh, then the Word is Jesus Christ.
"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." - 1 John 4:8
Therefore, since Jesus and God are one, Jesus is Love, and the Word is Love. How much more then should we love Him and one another?
