Hi Abby,

From a mom of a teenage boy who received a similar note on the evening of his high school graduation from a girl who’d been in his history class, I believe this nice young man is telling you the absolute truth and hasn’t been pressured at all, and what a gentle way he’s chosen to respond to you. Please respect his decision.

I am so impressed with you, Abby. What a beautifully written post! You have a very bright future ahead of you. What are your plans after high school?

B
