Comic Amy Poehler has a web site, Smart Girls, aimed at helping young women feel braver, more valued and more authentic. A regular feature is the video advice column Ask Amy. Here, a girl asks, “I’m having a really hard time admitting when I’m wrong…what should I do?” Amy’s response:
I think every mother of tweens and teens is dabbing at her eyes and flapping her hands like a seal and whispering “I LOVE YOU AMY!” right now. And I hope every kid who watches this takes Amy’s advice that it’s never too late to apologize.
Also, OMG, the Smart Girls’s Mission Statement!
Here is what we want you to know:
When you are interested in something, your life becomes more interesting and you become more interesting.
To find your authentic self, you must take risks and say YES (as in, GET YOUR HAIR WET when you go to a body of water)
Caring is cool!
Here is SorryWatch’s response:
I LOVE Amy Poehler, and I love Sorrywatch!
