Hi.

Yeah, im proud of you for posting!

It IS always harder the first time isin't it?

Hey, im not too much older than you! I'm 23. 17 was a really hard age, I remember well. Its too bad that your mom says those things. Aside from what she tells you, how do YOU feel about yourself with your hair down and your makeup on? Remember that you do not have to feel the same way your mom does, the great thing about being you is thar you can make your own decisions about how you feel!

You seem very smart too! And very forthcoming- I like that!

I hope you decide to stay around and feel free to message me if you need to talk or anything.

Take Care!
