To Teenage Girls Everywhere

Dear Teenage Girls,

      

   Hi ladies!  I just wanted to take a minute to write you a note and let you know how beautiful you are. 

   Oh you're probably shaking your head and thinking that if you were so beautiful then Tommy would have noticed you by now.  Forget Tommy.  There are a million Tommy's in this world.  Trust me, most high school boyfriends are not all they are cracked up to be.  Wait until your twenties to start looking for a good guy who wants to date you for the right reasons. 

     There's one way to help attract a good guy, and that's by dressing like a good girl.  I can't believe the outfits I see on some of your friends.  Skirts that barely cover anything, dresses so tight and low cut that I'm amazed they aren't falling off.  And the leggings.  Oh the leggings.  Repeat after me...leggings are not pants.  Leggings are super cute under a skirt or dress, but they should not stand alone. 

      I had a friend in college that had been through a conversion in his life, and he told me that when he used to go to the gentleman's clubs (trust me, there are no gentlemen that go to those kind of clubs), it was always the waitresses who got more attention than the dancers.  The women who were actually wearing clothes were more intriguing and enticing then the women who took them off.  Because a man who is attracted to a woman will be attracted to her no matter if she is wearing a miniskirt or a burlap sack.  But a man who is just looking for a woman as a source of pleasure will probably only go after the one in a miniskirt.  So girls, pull on those burlap sacks and score the man of your dreams!

     Seriously though, if you only knew how beautiful and fleeting youth is, you would truly treasure the gifts you have been given.  Don't pine away for the future years when you can drive or date or go to college or have babies.  Just enjoy this stage of your life because you will never be this age again.  There is no need to rush the growing up....the growing up will rush into you.

     Be kind to one another.  Girls are sometimes hard to get along with.  They can be catty and gossip too much and so very hard on each other.  We are hard enough on ourselves, right?  So let's try to encourage and support one another.  Pay someone a compliment, smile more, invite a new girl to your lunch table.  There is nothing more attractive than a kind hearted person.  So be that person.  And surround yourself with like minded people.  Because even if you don't believe that you are who you hang out with, you must agree that you appear to others as the friends kept in your company.  Respect yourselves and you will earn respect.  Leave the drama at the stage.

     You are beautiful, you are full of promise, and you are loved.  Enjoy each day...it's a gift, that's why we call it the present :)
