Dear Sasha and Malia, I am 9 years old from Columbus, Ohio my advice, although I have never been a first daughter but I have lost my dad in a car accident, so if anything tragic ever happens, remember to be yourself, that there are people who love you more than you know it, and don't spend your life wishing something that has already happpened. :)
Dear Sasha and Malia, I am 10 years old from the island of Oahu in Hawaii. The other daay I saw your father in the semper fit gym from where I live on the marine core base. From what I saw, I can tell how hard it must be for you. So trust your friends and just be yourself. You might get something great out of it!
Dear Sasha and Malia, I am 12 years old and I live in North Carolina so you want be to far from me but I just wanted to say that I think you guys will have lots of fun in the White House and good luck
Hi Sasha and Malia, I am 13 years old and live in a little town in Washington State. My number #1 tip about surviving life as a FIRST KID: is to be yourself,do the things you want to do and not to underestimate yourself. Don't become someone else because that's what you think other people want you to be. Don't worry,you're amazing, just the way you are! And, as Helen Reddy would say,"I am woman, here me roar!"
Dear Sasha and Malia, I'm 10 years old and from the island of Oahu, Hawaii and saw your dad. From what I saw, your life can't be private. So my tip #1 for life as the First Daughter is to be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone else because that's what the media wants. My second tip is to trust your friends because they are your family. They'll help you through hard times!
"Hey, Sasha and Malia, here's my number #1 tip about surviving life as a FIRST KID: Stay true to yourself. Your parents have raised you well, so far, with good values and morals. Don't let the fact that you are in the White House and the spotlight change that!"
Dear Sasha and Malia,
I'm old. I'm 37. But I moved around a lot when I was your age because of my dad's job. My tip #1 is to not underestimate the power of family. Remember that your family will be with you wherever you move.
(#2 would be to keep in touch with your old friends. Don't let that keep you from making new ones, but keeping in touch with old ones will help as you start to make new friends.)
Best of luck,
Suzi W.
Hi i'm 11 yrs ols and in the white house HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!:>}
I'm Lauren B. Enjoy the white house because your dad's very lucky to be the president elect.Obama RULES
Hey!! I live in chicago.....ur home town and My #1 advice for sucess in the white house is this: Don't be someone that your not. Sometimes people make such a hard effort to be the paparazzi queen that they forget about their true beauty and let the limelight bet to their heads. Don't lose the sight of who you really are. Makeup and clothes....sure they're great and they make you feel confident but they don't live your life for you, you do. Think of what really matters. The people of the United States voted for your dad just the way he was. People loved you and admired you just the way that you were. Its not whats on the outside that matters....its whats on the inside. So stay true and use these words by Louisa May Alcott to help you. "I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship." This means to not be afraid of the downs of life because you will learn to be happy with who you are and not what the press want you to be. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you enjoy the fun of white house havoc!!!

continue being your adorable selves and have fun! You have wonderful parents!
Dear Sasha and Malia,
I am 12 years old and from nj i really think that the only advice that i can give you is that remember we all love you and you both are the most adorable kids on earth so just be yourself.
Im from North Texas and trust me, I know how you feel!!! People can be mean!!!The press will probably try bothering you, just ignore it because they are trying to bother you because they're just picking on you because they have no lives. Also, at school kids might think you're brats because yall are the first kids, they are just upset because they aren't the presidents kids. Just have fun and be yourself and you'll have a great few years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Becca
IGNORE THE MEDIA!!!!!!!!!! Just be yourself at all times.
I'm from Syaracuse, NY and I'm the most unpopular girl in school but I now have a chance of public favor because of being myself and an upcoming music contest. Be yourself!!! Sing!
i think that you guys should make an attempt to try and have a cause that u fight for....kind of like the first lady....i think it really inspires kids to see other kids with something they believe in.
Hi! I'm 12 years old and I live in Massachusetts. My advice to you would just be to stay true to youself and always believe in yourself and remember that you're both incredible girls! Good luck living at the white house!!! Have fun!

Hi sasha and malia you shoud have sumber party with your friends at your school and go out with your mom and just hang out in the white house that woud be a good thing to do and take a look around your new house
Hey Sasha Malia,
My advice ,although I have never been a First Daughter, is; spend all the free time you and your dad have with him, your mother too.(My father is a doctor and he works long hours.)Because I am pretty sure he is away sometimes and you miss him so...
spend all the time you can with him.
Best Wishes,
Lily
Sasha and Malia, the top tip of mine to survive the White House, is to read a book or two about Sameera, a first daughter just like you, who REALLY describes life at the white house! Plus, you'll NEVER get bored!
Dear Sasha and Malia, I am 13 years old and am from Hong Kong, China. Even though I have never been a first kid, here is my advice: make a difference in someone else's life anytime, anywhere. This will earn you more respect from others, and you'll live to enjoy it.
HAVE A TON OF FUN like slide down the banisters, roller skate in the halls etc!yah obama!!
just be yourselfs and evryone will love you. Dont worry about followig fashion trends as YOU will now set them, for irls your age and even older girls. Dress to be comfortable and let it refeclt your self. But ither than that enjoy yourselfs and your time in the white house!!! xoxoxoox
Sash and Malia; I am a 12 year old from Maine and my tip is that sure you can stay true to yourself but you're still young, you should try to learn to be a good person and not let your overwhelming life consume you. Also key in some family time, it will keep you close to your busy parents.
Hey Sasha and Malia!!!! I'm 14 almost 15 years old and I live in Georgia. I have one huge tip for the both of you and that is: Don't let anybody get you down while being the First Daughters and not being the First Daughters. I have a lot of knowledge of rude people because I have been bullied by almost everybody for 12 or 13 years now and it's just because I ma different from them. Also because of that it was always hard for me to make friends. This past year I finally made friends that accepted me for me and because of that I was really happy. Another way I know how rude and judgemental people are is because I recenlt moved here from Colorado and this move was my 8th move. Anyways like I said Don't let anybody get you down being the First Daughters and not being the First Daughters. I hope you guys have a lot of fun while living in the White House. Also tell your dad I think he should run for a second term.
Hi Sasha and Malia. I live in florida and i am 11 years old. i wanted to just let you know that being the president's daughter is hard,and you know it.the best thing to do would be to be honest,and to be helpful.
hey sasha and malia, here's my number#1 tip about surviving life as a FIRST KID: you guys have lots of time to run around the white house. But if I were you, the very first thing I would do would be to explore EVERY ONE OF THOSE ROOMS!!! Remember to watch movies all the time, go bowling now and then, and NEVER BE STIFF LIKE GROWN-UPS, BUT INSTEAD HAVE LOTS OF FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, IM 11, AND SEND MY LOVE TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

hi Malia and Sasha,
need advice?
if you do here it is.
growing up in the white house can be a lot of pressure but it can also be a lot of fun! Remember to always try to have fun. Don't let anyone ever tease you about being special because you live in the white house.Remember to try to be as normal as you can. Always try to make someone else's life special too. The most important thing of all that you should always try and help other people that are less fortunate than you are.
Good Luck, and have fun!!!!!
Dear Sasha and Malia,
My name is Sarah mola from San Diego. I am 10 years old.
My number one rule is dont let people change you. Just be yourself. Don't be a paperazzi queen, or a giggle girl. People will try to change you but stand your groud. And most of all have fun. God bless you!'!''!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah
Dear Malia and Sasha,
