I am SO glad that I am not 16 anymore.  All the agony and the shit I went through when I was 16 all came flooding back to me today when dealing with my lil brothers girlfriend.  Shes going through..some...well I don’t even know how to explain it but shes really unhappy. And I remember being 16 and how everything seemed the end of the world.  How do I tell her that it will get better and make her see that as awful it seems now - that it will get better.

“No matter how beautiful I am...No matter how nice I am...people still won’t like me.” That statement came from the mouth of a beautiful blonde 16 year old girl.
