“My tongue is weird!”
Hey Terra,
I have a boyfriend. He's wonderful! The bad news is any day now, I could get my first kiss (cause I haven't had my first kiss yet), AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO KISS!!!!! Oh my gosh, I'm freaking out. I mean, I wanna kiss him, but I'm a little scared that I might kiss him wrong... is there a certain way to kiss someone??Petrified
Dear Petrified,
Unless you completely miss a person's lips, I'm not sure there's a "wrong" way to kiss someone. Tell me, what's the worst thing you can imagine might happen here?
In friendship,
Terra
