soo. last week there was a to write love on her arms event in DC and my parents wouldnt let me go but they told me it was because DC isnt a safe place and blah blah. but my friend asked me to go to the one in maryland tomrow. and i asked my mom and my mom said "your dad doesnt think that they are good topics" and my mouth dropped wide open. i was like "your kidding right? did you guys even read the story?" and my mom said no. so i printed it out for her and shes reading it now. and i think that the topics are great topics. people dont realize how depression, cutting, alcohol all effects our lifes so greatly esspeciall at young ages. i dont drink, i dont cut, and i dont really suffur from dression. and i dont understand why they wont let me go

any suggestions? ...or am i doing good so far?
