She’s Turned 12!

My daughter turned 12 yesterday and we had a small celebration for her with her classmates during their lunch break. She had 15 guests who went all the way from school to our house to greet her. The birthday celebration was really a joyous and happy one and Gen told me that it was her happiest birthday ever because she had her best friends in school with her. They will graduate from primary school this year and they will be separated from each other when they enter secondary school. She’ll be studying in a Christian school while her close friends will be in other school of their choices.

I’m beginning to feel that slowly she’ll be turning from a girl to a young lady. My little girl has grown so fast that she’s almost my height now. I wouldn’t be surprised in few years if she’ll be asking me about teenage girls’ things like crushes, dressing up, skin problems and many other things that she’ll be passing through. Hope it won’t be acne scar removal because I wouldn’t want her to have problems with acne.

I was lucky that I wasn’t so sensitive in my teenage years that I only encountered such problem once or twice only. I hope that my two daughters will be like me because having skin problems is one of the common problems among teenage kids. It also causes inferiority complex to some kids so it’s better to protect and maintain a clear skin free from acne, pimples and other skin disorders.
