Hi, and welcome to the forum!
You did the right thing.
I was going to copy your post to a couple of other locations for more coverage (I can still do that if you'd like me to), but I dug around a bit and found a teens thread! It's here:

Also, feel free to post anywhere else you feel comfortable. There's a forum called Alternachicks here:

for all ages, because some of us are alternative forever.
And a bunch of other great forums.
Let us know if you need anything...
I'll leave your post here for now.
