Dear Ms. Louise,
Today was my precious little girl's first day in high school. She was thrilled that she would finally
meet her new classmates. But when she woke up, she found that she had a big red pimple on her nose!
She worried about it so much that she told me she didn't want to go to school. I knew that she felt
embarrassed about having a big red zit on her face, especially when she was about to meet new friends
and wanted to leave a good impression on them. However, as a mother, I just couldn't let her skip the
first day of school. So, I made her go to school this morning. Did I do the right thing?
Worried Mother
Dear Worried Mother,
I think you made the correct decision. Though her concern of making a bad impression on her new
friends is understandable, she needs to learn that most people focus only on their own problems and
don't even notice others'. Her friends would probably not notice her pimple at all. I think she will
gradually figure this out. Don't worry. Talk to her as usual. She must have plenty of exciting stories
about her new friends to share with you tonight.
