For either you or your mother: what are the options for beauty/personal care? For instance, would you use anything to make skin softer? What about for your hair? Thanks for doing these AMAs!

Thanks for the quick response. I hadn't considered that... You can't do much to change it, so why bother? Sounds like it would probably be less stressful than my culture's alternative of staring at our imperfections every morning while we brush our teeth, and comparing our imperfect faces to those on magazines, TV, etc. Thanks again!

Yeah, true. I certainly got teased as a kid and it felt so horrible. I was able to get sympathy from my family, especially my mother, though. Were you able to talk to anyone about your feelings, or did you just have to tough it out alone?

Sorry to hear you had to go through that, but now I have no doubt that you're one tough mother! You're so cool for letting us in on your world.
