to tan or not to tan?

so they say tanning is really bad for you... and my mom said she doesnt want me to go anymore.... and i havent been in like 2 months... but now I WANT TO GO. i feel so white and the girls at work keep saying how white i am... and these days everyone says everything is bad for you but i doubt everything is bad so i think people should calm down and just do what they want and what makes them feel better.... or maybe people should just be safe and do somethings that dont include baking their bodies.... im having a terrible internal conflict and i can litterally hear these two people arguing in my head. theyre arguing about tanning. which sounds stupid but its not... its very legit.
