Stephen Chbosky quotes about
Bridget who is crazy said that sometimes she thought about suicide when commercials come on during TV. She was sincere and this puzzled the guidance counselors.

I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.
