Rhea Bailey as Caz Hammond

The British actress played the ex-fiancée of Kate Connor (Faye Brookes) and a former soldier in the British Army on Coronation Street from 2015–16. In real life, the actress plays younger sister to singer Corinne Bailey Rae.

Well maybe you shouldn’t have deleted it then?

Hearing about the tragic Kana ending I’m disappointed but not surprised. I never let myself get invested in the pairing because I knew they wouldn’t do it justice, it’s all for shock value they don’t care about the real life implications these characters could have providing positive representation to young girls. Rana had so much potential and they dragged her through all that pain for nothing. They ruined Sophie’s character after Maddie, it was heartbreaking and clearly this is going to be the same again, watch them feed us the line that Kate will never love again because Rana was her one true love as we watch her spiral into a depression because she lost her brother and wife within one year. I’ve had enough, literally why I stopped watching Corrie (and Eastenders) they’ve proven time and time again they can’t write queer characters and they simply don’t care

Human pep talk.

This is by far and away mostly from Kate Conner’s “Ten Things I Want to Tell Teenage Girls!” - but I couldn't help but tweak the message a little.

---

The world we live in is twisted and broken and for your entire life you will be subjected to all kinds of lies that tell you that you are not enough.

You are not thin enough. You are not cool enough. You are not smooth, soft, shiny, firm, tight, or hairless enough. Your teeth are not white enough. Your legs are not long enough. Your clothes are not stylish enough. You are not educated enough. You don’t have enough experience. You are not creative enough.

You must have the clarity and common sense to know that none of that is true. None of it.

You EXIST. Your soul is recording it’s very own version of the life you are living. You are here to collect all the experiences that come with this gift of being alive. We are all connected and ultimately it really fucking matters how you live this life - and what you do to make the lives of others better. You have innate value. You are loved more than you could ever comprehend; it is mind-boggling how much you are adored.

There has never been, and there will never be another you. You have unique thoughts to offer the world. They are only yours, and we all lose out if you are too fearful to share them.

You are beautiful.

You are valuable.

You are enough.

We need you.

Ten Things I Want To Tell Teenage Girls

1. If you choose to wear shirts that show off your boobs, you will attract boys. To be more specific, you will attract the kind of boys that like to look down girls’ shirts. If you want to date a guy who likes to look at other girls’ boobs and chase skirts, then great job; keep it up. If you don’t want to date a guy who ogles at the breasts of other women, then maybe you should stop offering your own breasts up for the ogling. All attention is not equal. You think you want attention, but you don’t. You want respect. All attention is not equal.

2. Don’t go to the tanning bed. You’ll thank me when you go to your high school reunion and you look like you’ve been airbrushed and then photoshopped compared to the tanning bed train wrecks formerly known as classmates – well, at least next to the ones that haven’t died from skin cancer.

3. When you talk about your friends “anonymously” on Facebook, we know exactly who you’re talking about. People are smarter than you think they are. Stop posting passive-aggressive statuses about the myriad of ways your friends disappoint you.

4. Newsflash: the number of times you say “I hate drama” is a pretty good indicator of how much you love drama. Non-dramatic people don’t feel the need to discuss all the drama they didn’t start and aren’t involved in.

5. “Follow your heart” is probably the worst advice ever.

6. Never let a man make you feel weak or inferior because you are an emotional being. Emotion is good; it is nothing to be ashamed of. Emotion makes us better – so long as it remains in it’s proper place: subject to truth and reason.

7. Smoking is not cool.

8. Stop saying things like, “I don’t care what anyone thinks about me.” First of all, that’s not true. And second of all, if it is true, you need a perspective shift. Your reputation matters – greatly. You should care what people think of you.

9. Don’t play coy or stupid or helpless to get attention. Don’t pretend something is too heavy so that a boy will carry it for you. Don’t play dumb to stroke someone’s ego. Don’t bat your eyelashes in exchange for attention and expect to be taken seriously, ever. You can’t have it both ways. Either you show the world that you have a brain and passions and skills, or you don’t. There are no damsels in distress managing corporations, running countries, or managing households. The minute you start batting eyelashes, eyelashes is all you’ve got.

10. You are beautiful. You are enough. The world we live in is twisted and broken and for your entire life you will be subjected to all kinds of lies that tell you that you are not enough. You are not thin enough. You are not tan enough. You are not smooth, soft, shiny, firm, tight, fit, silky, blonde, hairless enough. Your teeth are not white enough. Your legs are not long enough. Your clothes are not stylish enough. You are not educated enough. You don’t have enough experience. You are not creative enough.

There is a beauty industry, a fashion industry, a television industry, (and most unfortunately) a pornography industry: and all of these have unique ways of communicating to bright young women: you are not beautiful, sexy, smart or valuable enough.

You must have the clarity and common sense to know that none of that is true. None of it.

You were created for a purpose, exactly so. You have innate value. You are loved more than you could ever comprehend; it is mind-boggling how much you are adored. There has never been, and there will never be another you. Therefore, you have unique thoughts to offer the world. They are only yours, and we all lose out if you are too fearful to share them.

You are beautiful. You are valuable. You are enough.
