text: I think you came to the right place for advice. Your friends gave you advice that will only get you in trouble. Thank them for their opinions, but try doing this instead:\n\n1. I'd sit down alone and write out some possible reasons my friend said that. Then I'd ask myself, "Is this a normal way to behave for someone my age?" I would be honest with myself. (my guess is that you are completely normal)\n\n2. Then, I'd stop and think about the day when my Mom would no longer be alive...(my mother is very ill right now, dying of a disease) And, I'd realize then:\n\n"My friends can just shove it! I love my mother and she loves me. I'm normal. Things will change when and if I want them to."\n\nThen, if that girl teases you again, just ignore her and be glad you have a good mother.
