SUPPORT NEEDED

Hey, it's not for me, but it's still important. My little sister, who is MO and just turned old enough for our insurance company to consider her for surgery, had a rotten experience I'm sure we all can relate to and she needs some support. She traveled this past week to NYC with a vocal jazz group from her high school to perform in Carnigie Hall. The plane seats were tight but not too small and all was well in the theater seats when she went to see Beauty and the Beast, but then the group went to see Blue Man Group. The seats were tiny and she was absolutely unable to fit in them at all. After much fuss the and negative attention, an usher set up a folding chair for her way up in the balcony (totally apart from her friends). She cried throughout the entire show because she was humiliated in front of not only a bunch of total strangers but also in front of her friends. She's coming home tomorrow from NYC, still feeling rotten, and I just wanted to make sure she feels some love and support. If you have any encouragement for her please reply or e-mail me and I will print your replies off and present it to her when she gets home. I would really appreciate any support and encouragement you might have for her. Her name is Cathy and believe me she is an outstanding young lady, full of love, talent and life. Thanks in advance for all the support I know will come! Amy

Augh I am so so sorry. I know that has happened to every single one of us at one point or another. And serisouly, don't let others, especailly strangers, try to embaress you. No one is perfect, and I am sure that they all have their own problems. You have tons and tons of support in this community, and people who love you hear. If people aren't going to reespect you for who you really are, then they shuld be ignored. And seats can be extremly crammy. I remember getting a seatbelt extension on an airplane, and almost everyone straing. That was about a year ago. I look back at it now and I think, I'm never going to see any of those strangers again, so I don't give a dogs pooh what they think about me, or how they look at me. And if your friends are truly your friends, then they will be friendly enough to understand. Stay positive girl!
