After a year of complete change (new school, therapy every week, new friends) she has grown a lot. I'm very proud of her, but I didn't sleep last night and don't think I will sleep tonight either. Why does it have to be so damn hard to be a teenager these days?

I think the biggest problem for teenagers today is peer pressure
The expectations alone are rough
The standards they set for themselves are higher than the ones we had as kids because there is so much more out there in this big bad and sometimes ugly world

I had a niece stop going to high school in Illinois after the second month of being a freshmen. She called me and and asked if her and her mom could move to Oklahoma. Two years later and in school in Oklahoma, she's a B student.

My point is, kids are cruel to other kids and sometimes it'll affect some kids more than others.

I'll say a little prayer that things go quite well. I hope she has tons of fun and brings back mega pictures for you to share with us.
