Advice/Quote
"As a teenager, it can be tempting to take risks with your food allergies, but keep in mind your safety before taking any dangerous actions. That being said, don't let your allergies stop you from pursuing your passions. Call restaurants and hotels to plan meals in advance, let your friends know if you have any concerns regarding your allergies, and speak up when you feel uncomfortable; people are, more often than not, interested in how they might help you and willing to accomodate your needs."
