"I have been coming to Planned Parenthood for years and I am always amazed how cool and reassuring everyone here is. You have been so instrumental to my adolescence - without this place so many teenage girls would be in the dark, feeling like no one understands. Yeah, exams and pregnancy tests suck, but you guys make it a little more bearable and a little less stressful. There's no other place I'd rather go. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Every girl, woman,boyfriend, husband, guy that has written in this book knows what I mean - you are all amazing.
