I wanted to write this letter because too many times I've heard the words "Oh you shouldn't do that" or "Are you sure that you are mature enough for that?" This letter is a response to all those questions:

Dear People,

I know that sometimes I can be a little crazy when talking about my plans but that doesn't mean I'm not mature enough to handle them. Since I was 16 I've always known what I wanted to do in my life, but I have also had people telling me that I am not going to do that. I just want to know why it is so important to tell me no rather than supporting me and telling me that I can do anything that I can put my mind to? At the end of the day, it should be more about supporting me rather than trying to tear me down. I've always been the type of person that does what I set my mind to. If I am not harming myself or other people, I see no reason why you keep telling me no and not supporting me.

Please answer this question:

What enjoyment do you get out of saying "no, you can't do that"?
