The best advice I have heard for raising a teenage girl is this, " just remember whatever happens, she was a good kid going into this and she'll be a good kid coming out. The part in the middle might get bumpy but it will end and she will be back."
I offered her many options for her 13th, from a trip to anywhere USA, to this that and the other. Her choice was a party at the house with the kids from her advanced academics classes, so that is what she had.
She received a jade bangle and was so so happy about it |
