"Don't chase people, let them show you they care": 30+ Women Share the Best Piece of Advice Their Mama Gave Them, Even If They Didn't Appreciate It at the Time

You are so caught up in your social life, your expectations of the future, and your school work, that you forget that your mom is a woman who lived through everything you experienced. Still, when we reflect on our teen years, we are able to take some of those pieces of advice to heart.

I completely ignored her and spent a lot of my highschool years trying to force myself to like whatever was "cool" at the time.
