all teenage girls are beautiful in their own way they should not worry about what other people think about their self appearance and just be yourself people will only like you for you they won't like you if you try to be somebody you're not.
I want all the teens growing up not to think that they have a mom that's too old or too young
Teenagers should think twice about making the better choices in life because the parents won’t get bad if you do the right thing.
My tip is that teenagers need learn how to have better and more control over their lives and the things they do because with the lack of control in their lives, they start to stress out. This also something that they should discuss with their parents or guardians.
