[quote=Anonymous]As a little girl I would get a lot of compliments on my hair from all of my mom’s friends, my family, the hair stylist. They would say they wished they had even 1/4 of my hair (it’s thick) and that my hair is beautiful. As a child I guess I processed it like only my hair was pretty.

I was always complimented on my art work and drawing ability by teachers. One teacher had me draw a picture of our class and hung it up by the door and said to the class, “Look at what a great artist she is!” A drawing of mine was broadcasted on the morning news… lol. As a first grader, that feels like a big deal but I know it isn’t. I had a fifth grade teacher who always complimented my writing ability.

As I got older my parents friends would compliment me on being pretty, etc. One time when I was 16 and a cheerleader in high school, a senior’s mom came to up to me with my mom present and said “every time I see you, I think you are the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen and I thought I should tell you instead of just thinking it.” My mom’s cleaning lady said that to me too. I hadn’t remembered these comments in years. It feels good but also kind of sad. I’m 39 now.
