Teenager
Telling a teenager the facts of life is like giving a fish a bath.
Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends — I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
Leopard print has been my thing forever! When I was a teenager my entire room was done in leopard print — it's timeless, chic, and always in style. When in doubt... leopard!

Our job as friends, mentors, parents, and writing coaches is not to write anyone's college essay. That's cheating.

Gentle editing and proofreading are allowed.
