Everyone is giving advice to their younger self, do you have any wise words?

The YouTube campaign is to mark International Women’s Day.

GOSSIP, BULLYING AND self-doubt can be huge pressures for teenagers and a new campaign is calling for people to dish out advice.

YouTube is asking, ‘What advice would you give to your teenage self?’

The campaign is in honour of International Women’s Day and it all starts with the words – #DearMe.

The YouTube official blog says, “For many girls, the path to finding themselves was littered with doubt, uncertainty and pressure from all sides.”
