Thank you Mauvais, Den, Lidian and Squeak!
Yes, Lidian... she just graduated from grade 8. High school next! Yikes!!
Did I mention that she's on medication for her depression now? As of last week. Hopefully it will work REALLY well, and she'll have a fantastic first year of high school.
You should have SEEN some of the outfits! Some very cute/ugly punks, some very sleezy outfits, some beautiful ethnic costumes, and a few girls who honest-to-gawd looked like rapunzel. Long flowing gowns with draping sleeves and criss-crossed bodices in gold... one in a very dark green and another in black...
Your daughter sounds cool, Lidian.
That would be me, too. It's amazing what peer pressure will do though...
