l give some advices to my daughter when she begin to live by herself at her age of 17. Because l hope she will be an independence woman.
    

    First, do not take your boyfriend's money. You should give  some presents back to your bf when he sent you gifts expect flowers. Because l think the basis of love is equality. Many parents provide a generous expense for their daughters during the girls' growth because they try their best to  reduce their girls'desire to material wealth in the future.
   

     Second,spiritual world and well-bred of yourself are very important wealth that draws people to you. And those wealth exist with your self-respect.
   

     Third, be gentle and soft to your Mr-Right. You two will be a couple who grow up together in the future. And your deep feelings which are builded up during the long life are the most precious spiritual wealth. In addition, frustration always follow you in the future's life. But it will bring something that couldn't be get easily. Give and get are twins. It must be not the right time if the two appear at the different moment. A girl with virtue must learn how to wait patiently.
 
     Fourth, do not feel like everthing is end of the world when one love relationship finished. You can get other abundantly emotional interaction with nature, animals, history, art, a ray of sunlight and a fish in life, which can makes you generous, smart, friendly and 
kind. Thus, a girl can get more spiritual comfort when she does those things l mentioned above instead of holding on a relationship dommed to exinction.
