Girls like me smiled politely and always did the right thing. Girls like me definitely didn't sneak away at night to do things that would crush their fathers. And if they did, girls like me knew how to keep it to themselves.

About This Quote

The older you get, the more you see the world in black and white. The good girls are nice. They do what is expected of them. They act according to what is normal and they keep their mouths shut.

The bad girls are not nice. They do things no one should do, but they keep it a secret. The bad girls are the loud ones who don't care if something they do is a secret or not.
