How do you think it feels to be passed over at the teenage dances because you’re heavy and spotty? When you don’t know any better than to put your thick luscious hair in a constraining pony tail when it could be swinging loose down your back? When the only guy who wants to dance with you is the one that all the other girls turned down because he’s drunk?
