I always felt bad for her. It was clear she struggled with self confidence. At the end of the day it was just high school and you realize it’s not the end of the world.

@olaakande5581 3 месяца назад

Jessica is a very cute girl but i can only imagine being 16-17, every girl in ur school is gorgeous. That’s tough to deal with especially if u have a bf with a wondering eye

@NBean90 Год назад

Jessica, she was so vulnerable and open with her naïveté. Honestly I witnessed more girls in HS that was more on her level in terms of insecurity and learning themselves. I’m happy she has what she wants now, and turned her story into a success one.

@lovelettersandlace Год назад

Yep, I think her high school self was very relatable to most girls.

@emmmmmmmm603 Год назад

Don't get me wrong - I love Stephen. I just wish he would let people speak and share (especially when they're meeting the guest virtually). We have gotten the same input from him SO many times and i just wish he would be a good listener instead of waiting for someone to stop talking so he can start. I find this is where him and Kristin really differ; I think Kristen is an EXCELLENT listener. No hate to Stephen, though!! Just my opinion ❤

See I think if Steven wasn’t so open and relatable to his own insecurities I don’t think other quest would be. Jessica got more comfortable relating her feelings when Stephen shared his.

She was so self-conscious, let everyone walk all over her, and made out with someone else’s boyfriend… 😬

@krysmeier3125 Год назад

Totally agree with everyone that Jessica is such a relatable person. More so than Kristin. A lot of people can relate to her high school guy drama and comparing yourself to friends and not feeling as pretty. I think fewer people can relate to Kristin getting any guy she wanted. 😂

@NYCGemini2000 Год назад

I always liked Jessica. My impression of her was always that girl who felt like she needed to fit in, and didn't think she was pretty enough. Felt like she lacked confidence, but I myself could relate to that when I was in high school since you're so young and naive. She always seemed genuine person though and a good friend to have.
