Secrets, secrets are some fun

I'm doing research for work that requires me to spend some time on websites for tween girls. Peering into the interior of the tween mind has been a combination of terrifying, mortifying (I was once one myself) and professionally speaking, informative. And it isn't professional of me to read the "Secrets" page of one such site, meant to be an anonymous forum for openness and compassion, and laugh and then share this with you in hopes you will laugh too. But I'm going to:

"I have an ingrown toenail on my big toe and i ahd it for over 2 years and idk how to tell my parents... ive had before and had surgery on it but im afraid. and it can kill you... i dont want to die" -- one desolate tween
