Letter to my mom
OK, YM, here it goes. Can you tell me if this would be ok to give to my mom so i can talk to her about it. Thankyou so much for looking at this!!! I also sent it to your email incase its to long.
Dear Mom,
I want to talk to you about something that is real important to me but I don't know how to tell you so thats why I'm writing it down first so we can talk about it. Remember when I turned 14 last month and you said I was getting to be more of a woman than a little girl? Well thats kind of what I want to talk to you about. I'm not pregnant or anything like that but I am growing up and I think I'm pretty responsible and pretty much a good person. I dont take drugs or drink and I do good in school and I always go to church with the family. I'm just saying that I'm not a bad person and I don't want you to think I am after I say this.
The thing I want to tell you is that I smoke cigarettes like you and Daddy and I like it a lot. Please don't be mad at me. I started 2 years ago and I inhale and everything and I know I'm addicted. I've tried to quit a couple times but I couldnt do it. The thing is that I dont want to quit. I've thought about this a lot and I know Im never going to quit because I like it to much and its something I really want to do. And I don't want to hide it from you and Daddy any more. Thats why I'm asking you for permission to smoke in the house with you and Daddy.
I know smoking is bad for me. Ive heard all that in school and I've heard you and Daddy talk about it. I also know you and Daddy think its an adult habit and I think I'm mature enough to smoke like an adult.
I want you to know I didn't start because of peer pressure. No one even knows I smoke because I didnt want to take a chance on you finding out by accident. I wanted to tell you my self and thats what I'm doing now. I started because I love you and I wanted to be a smoker like you and now I am. Its what I've always wanted and I hope you'll understand and be happy for me some day.
I decided to tell you now because i thought it looked really sweet this Christmas when you were smoking with grandma. I want it to be like that with you and me to. I dont want to hide this from you anymore because its who I am.
I really enjoy smoking and I know what you feel like when you do it because I feel the same way. I like that it keeps me thin and I like the way it tastes. I also like the way I look when I smoke. I look like you and your very pretty. Maybe this sounds dumb, but I think its romantic when Daddy lights your cigarettes for you. I know you think kids that smoke are just doing it to act tough or be rebellious but I'm not like that. I'd never be like that and I wouldn't embarrass you. I'd be polite and nice and people wouldn't think I was a bad kid or your a bad mom because you're a great mom and I love you so much and I'm very proud of you.
I'm sorry that I've been taking your cigarettes and I know thats pretty much stealing. I want you to know that if you and Daddy give me permission to smoke then I'll do extra chores or whatever to pay for my cigarettes because I want to do this right.
Any way, if you want, I'd like to talk to you about this after you read this.
I love you very much,
Katie

Katie,
Well, Its good until you tell her you started because you want to be like her. I think that will make her feel guilty. Even if she enjoys smoking I really don't think she would want you to have started if given the choice.
I'll bet your mom has better qualitys than smoking that make you admire her! Let me copy it here and comment on the paragraphs...will make it easier. Hope its understandable!

{****Good paragraph..keep this one ^}

(*****This one is good too ^)

(***Good^)
I want you to know I didn't start because of peer pressure. No one even knows I smoke because I didnt want to take a chance on you finding out by accident. I wanted to tell you my self and thats what I'm doing now.
(Keep this ^)
***DELETE*** I started because I love you and I wanted to be a smoker like you and now I am. Its what I've always wanted and I hope you'll understand and be happy for me some day.
(****Leave this out. Mom will feel guilty that you picked it up from her (even though true).
***Delete***I decided to tell you now because i thought it looked really sweet this Christmas when you were smoking with grandma. I want it to be like that with you and me to. I dont want to hide this from you anymore because its who I am.
***Another thing that may make her feel guilty. If she lets you start smoking in the house, you can sit with her and smoke. Tell her then, this is nice I like being able to do this. Don't say it now.***
I really enjoy smoking and I know what you feel like when you do it because I feel the same way. I like that it keeps me thin and I like the way it tastes.
***this is okay^****
****delete***I also like the way I look when I smoke. I look like you and your very pretty. Maybe this sounds dumb, but I think its romantic when Daddy lights your cigarettes for you.

***Not a good reason to smoke, don't think it would go over very well. And, again...may make her feel guilty.***
I know you think kids that smoke are just doing it to act tough or be rebellious but I'm not like that. I'd never be like that and I wouldn't embarrass you. I'd be polite and nice and people wouldn't think I was a bad kid or your a bad mom because you're a great mom and I love you so much and I'm very proud of you.
***Keep this. Maybe add that you won't smoke around people that don't like it...stick it in with the being polite to people line.***
I'm sorry that I've been taking your cigarettes and I know thats pretty much stealing. I want you to know that if you and Daddy give me permission to smoke then I'll do extra chores or whatever to pay for my cigarettes because I want to do this right.
***Very good...be sure you keep this in! ^
Any way, if you want, I'd like to talk to you about this after you read this.
I love you very much,
Katie
The rest is great. Do a little deleting, print it off and you will be good to go. Let me know what happens won't you? Good luck. :)
