A lot of people go to the mall, I think that a big group of them are like 12. I know that I did that. the mall was a place I knew I would feel comfortable and I knew my mom would feel comfortable with me being there, it was like we were meeting half way, I got alone time and she knew I was somewhere where I couldn’t get into too much trouble without her.
