Of course you could stand to grow up a little but you're still a teenager so it's understandable. You're pretty naive, but you seem to act like you know what you're talking about when you really don't. I think that gets you into trouble. People judge you unfairly and put you down for expressing yourself. They also get angry with you because they've known you a while and lose their patience. That's obviously not right, but I don't know if it'll ever stop. You need to develop tough skin. I think you're too sensitive to criticism, and I hope you grow out of it. And I hope I haven't wounged you too deeply here.

Now that the mean part's done with, I'll stop torturing you. Here's the nice part...

I've always liked you, no joke. You're fun, light-hearted, and pretty innocent, all things considered. I find you endearing, and I get upset when people make fun of you. I wish I could protect you from that, but I can't, so you'll have to figure it out. I appreciate your silliness, even when it' inappropriate. And I wish we talked more. You're a good kid.
