Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

Is there ever a point where you can't get any darker when you tan? I'm not being racist or anything, but if people tanned about 24/7 whenever its sunny, even in the winter [you can because of the sun rays.. its just cold], wouldn't white people be able to be dark like black people? And wouldn't black people be.. darker than black? Is it even possibal?
Sorry, im just curious. (link)

No, it is a substance in their skin that makes them dark. It is called melanin. Black people have more of it than white people. Melanin helped their people to survive thousands of years ago, when the migrated to the warmer continents like Afria. Where they were exposed to sun 365 days a year and spent most of their time outdoors.
White people would not tan to the point of having skin like people of the black african race. Their bodies would not produce enough melanin. the melanin that is produced when you make an effot to get a tan, is trying to protect you from the sun and the sun's damaging rays. So your skin takes all the damage to protect your inner organs.
