To all of the highschool girls reading this I hope you never forget that even though life sometimes stinks you will have plenty of moments that will make you forget about the hard times. You will have moments of laughter, joy, and thankfulness that compensate for the time you failed you failed your math test or the boy broke your heart. Be willing to adventure through life, and go through the bad with a smile knowing the best is yet to come. Embrace your innocence and stop trying to grow up. You only be a kid once; so enjoy the end of the beginning while you can.
