I would make an anonymous call and say, this is someone who cares, do you know what kind of children you have?

If I were to draw on a paper what gym does for me, I would make one dot and then I would erase it.

This is one rule about mixing boys and girls: that a date always comes first.

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.

I didn't want it to be one good memory that led to a lot of bad ones. I wanted it to stay what it was, one amazing moment, something that was strong and sweet enough to stand on its own. Something I could remember without any pain.

There are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you, people say one thing and mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you have to know what you can and can't do.
