Please dont get discouraged, i have i think 3 inches before i am past bra strap length, and i get "blah" feeling because my mom and sometimes ppl at school will comment,"wow, your hair is so thick and long" but to me it is in a pseudo-inbetween stage. I have been getting pretty good growth between touchups(every 8 weeks) and hopefully it will keep up so i can reach my goal by April '04 . We all are able to support each other on the boards so just think of ALL the progress you have made so far
