Well, I understand being a little embarrassed, but it's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's a part of who you are, and it's not a negative. If you own up to it it'll be easier to deal with it. Not t...

Man you have every right to feel the way you do right now. It can be extremely tough. Especially being 19. That age is hard and full of constant comparisons to others (which of course does not make yo...
