Nerdy Teen Stepdaughter's Cumming of Age - Honey Hayes

I don't really want to talk about it. It's kind of personal.

Okay, look, I get it.

I mean, we're both kind of new to this whole step-parenting situation.

But I want you to understand that you can confide in me if you need to.

That's kind of my job around here.

Yeah, I just don't know if it's something I can talk to you about.

It's just pretty personal.

Do you want me to reach out to your mother?

It's not something I can really talk to her about either.

So if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell her. Is that okay?

I mean, yeah, sure.

But are you in trouble or something like that?

No, it's nothing like that.

It's just that all my friends, you know Jenna and Katie, they have boyfriends.

And Alice has been hooking up with college boys already.

And I'm going off to college soon and I'm the only one in my friend group who hasn't done anything.

And it feels so hard to be the only girl.

Look, honey, it's okay. It'll happen.

There's no need to rush into that.

I don't want to go off to college being the only girl in my friend group who hasn't done anything.

That's so embarrassing. I want to be prepared for college.
