[quote=Anonymous]My BFF was like your daughter’s friends and my parents were openly scornful of her - I could tell they disapproved. They called her “Heather Feather,” meaning an intellectual lightweight. They always had Twinkies and sugar cereal. I hated my parents judgement because it was unkind to my friend but it was also disrespectful of me - I was a bookish, shy, athletic kid and they knew that. Did they think core elements of my personality were so fragile some TV and twinkies could change me? My BFF is now a social worker doing simply incredible things. She has this incredible heart and drive to connect with people. She also ended up thinner and fitter! I admire her deeply, and my parents still react with wonder when I tell them what a success she is, like they refuse to believe it.[/quote]
