It was mine!!! I was just entering 4th grade and wanted to be like my relaxed friends and was boy-crazy! LOL Mom didn't even flinched, I honestly think she was relieved, so she bought the kit and did it. Afterwards, she styled it for me and everything until I got to the 7th grade, then it was all on me. From then to late last year, I had no problems maintaining my relaxed hair, except for the occasional split ends and trims. Now I'm natural and in for the ride of my life, since I really didn't know what my natural texture was like before getting relaxed. All I know and remember was that I was sick and tired of getting combed (while in pain) and pressed every week for over 3 hours!
