The end of 'The Zit' makes me cry


I just identified with this show so much. I felt ugly as a teen for a long time, I developed breasts quickly like Sharon did and I felt so ashamed by them, like they didn't belong to me. It was a curse. Besides, the baby fat on my face made it so round that I just thought I looked so fat.

I also had a younger sister like Danielle who followed me everywhere and we fought most of the time. My mom was a beauty queen in her youth so I always felt like I was a dissapointment in terms of beauty.

The end when Angela is happy and touched by seeing the mothers and daughters and especially her mom and Danielle was so effective. I, like Angela, wouldn't have done the show and would have stayed standing aside and watched my mom up there. I can tell you that I would have been touched and happy and would have wanted to cry aswell. Danielle would probably remember that moment with her mom for the rest of her life and Patty was so happy up there.

The show was just so true to life them. Bravo.

I bawl at the end of this episode every time as well. The writers just so completely nailed what it feels like at that time in life for a teenage girl. Well, how it was for some anyway. Definitely hit home for me!!
