How many of us readers say this quote and mean it. "If I knew what I know now life would be different"....

High school is when a lot of kids begin to feel pressure to do drugs and start drinking.

The two big subjects that supposedly parents are going to help their children understand -- sex and money -- are the two things we have the most difficulty talking about.

Hopefully the message is getting out and the kids are getting wise on what drugs and alcohol can do.

I automatically assume people won't like me, so I don't talk to them unless they approach me first. I can't become a part of a crowd because I can't get past that feeling that I don't belong.

Sixteen months can be the difference in a woman seeing her children graduating from high school or not.
