Oh, Jordan, I know you're disappointed, but your aunt is just looking out for you. Perhaps she should go to some Pet Talk gathering some time ... WITH you. But you never can be certain about someone you have not yet met in person, and it is hard to remember that not everyone in the world is as nice as the people of Pet Talk. Sometimes I go read the news, and then have to come back to Pet Talk to reassure myself that there is GOOD news in the world, and there are good people. Your Aunt doesn't have that, so she hears more scary, bad stuff, I bet!

It's hard being a teenager, isn't it? One minute everyone seems to expect you to be an adult, and the next, a child. Don't worry, Jordan, it doesn't last forever.
