What you choose as a 13th birthday message matters. 13 is a major milestone birthday.
For boys and girls, turning 13 signifies the beginning of the teen years...and all the wonderful things that come with it, like angst, insecurities, attitude, exploration, you name it.
Empathizing with the 13-year-old boys and girls of today, you should try to bring comforting, uplifting feelings to any newly minted teenager who receives a birthday message from you..
So be careful when you're writing your 13th birthday wishes. How should you proceed? Short version: you can be funny or serious, depending on the teen's personality.
Long version:
Either way, you should draft 13th birthday wishes that or begin with a compliment. Sincere praise is always a big "plus" when you're dealing with teenagers, especially when they're just entering the weird, wild, wonderful world of adolescence.
I can assure you that any compliment you include in your birthday greeting will be appreciated, even if the 13 year old birthday boy or girl, in response to your message, grimaces in mock disgust.
Ultimately, what actually makes great birthday greetings for a 13 year old have such incredible healing powers? Empathy.
In other words, go back to the time you were turning 13 and try to remember what made you feel rotten and, in turn, what made you feel better. And go from there.
Just how hard can turning 13 years old be? See all the big changes the average teen endures. Then, guide yourself accordingly when you write your 13th birthday wishes.
