If your teenage daughter never tests her defiance on you, she may well be unable to use it on a predator. — Gavin De Becker

Teenage girls, please don't worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete.

What I've noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it's so wonderfully fair. — Mindy Kaling
