Avocado pruning? a little scared to cut it.

Hey Everyone,

I've been growing an avocado plant for around 9 months now and I haven't pruned it at all as yet. It's looking pretty leggy but not sure if I'm just best to leave it as it is or to cut any of it down to hopefully improve how it grows? (First attempt at growing one)

 

Sorry, I don't know the answer, but my Mother grew one from a stone when I was a kid, and it grew very tall without side branches and in the end she made it into a walking stick!
