Ah, dear. I work with some of those girls. And I'm watching my teenage daughter's friends starting to take the decisions that will really affect their lives, and can see a couple of them heading down the doomed route, and there is NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Self assurance is everything...greetings!
