Say Anything.

Unimaginative retards who copy should eat shit and die.

I totally agree with you Lillaanya, f'realz :censored

I got a new baby sister last week, they called her Dani and she weighed 9lbs 8 o.O 24 and half year age gap ftw -.-

hehe grats hun! :)

Congratulations Jet! And holy CRAP on the age gap! :ohmy

My daughter's going to her boyfriend's house this evening after school; she informs me that I don't need to pick her up until 7:00. I'm not nervous about this. Really, I'm not. Really. :hide I assured her that I trust her and her judgements, and he really does seem like a nice, thoughful kid... Ugh.

I'd trust Catherine, just not the boy. O_o

I didnt fool around with boys.. I didnt even date.. but still managed to get knocked up when I was 17 ><

was smart, didnt smoke or do drugs, decent grades in school ( thought they coulda been better if I had put half an ounce of effort into it.. ) and my mom trusted me.

Gee, Lessa, that's comforting!! LOL

I don't **know** Justin, but I've had a couple of opportunities to study him (which is probably why he's scared of me, heh). I truly think he's too chickenshit to try anything unless Jen okays it, and Jen's so sensible she makes a lot of adults look like idiots. I don't imagine much is going to happen. Justin's brother (who's 15) is another story. The snothead apparently has been nagging them to get with the "making out". I can't believe they still call it that...

haha sorry Darsa.. its just how you describe your daughter.. could be word for word something my mom has said many times about me when I was a kid.. not saying you shouldnt trust her.. but you know, dont give them too much leeway as far as privacy.. things happen, and its so hard to say no when youre young, even when you know you should...maybe consider birth control if you think theyre getting even a little bit close physically.. Shes still pretty young, but it never even occured to me to date til I was like 16.. I was a late bloomer I guess ><

I swore id have my daughter on some form of bc once she hit puberty.. shes so outgoing and independant now I still think thats prolly the best course hehe.

I was also date raped when i was 13.. by my best friend.. (we werent really dating, but Id hang out at his home regularily )I never told my mom about it.. and I pretended to go to his house a few times a week so she wouldnt know anything was wrong. Thats prolly what scared me off boys for so long I suppose.

It seems to me, unless you're 100% sure they're being chaperoned well, letting teenage kids be alone together is courting disaster. Even if you trust your daughter, like ROz said, and like Lessa just admitted...often its the other kid you have no control over.

Would you let your teenager go to a party if you knew there were drugs around, or alcohol for that matter? I wouldn't, and I also wouldn't let her do a number of other things until she was much older. I know I was lucky in that she never seemed to have a burning desire to rebel, but that still didn't mean I put the candy in front of her and trusted her to just ignore it.

I never thought I could prevent my daughter from doing things she was determined to do, but I sure as hell didn't give her the opportunities to do them if I could prevent it. That's still part of parenting...something that goes on well into the teenage years. Teenagers are not adults, no matter how they act.

putting girls on BC early is a must i believe.. i BEGGED my mom for it when i was 16 and i wasnt even doing anything.. she didnt let me get on it till i was 20 and out of the house! it REALLY helps the cramps and prevents them from missing "those few days" of the month from school if they are in alot of pain plus its just safer imo. i didnt do anything with a guy till i was 18 cause i was smart i guess haha

I went on my first date at 13, to some community center dance. I'm reluctant to let Catherine date date until she's a little bit older but...hell, I don't know. You limit what they do, they want to rebel. You give them a yard, they take a mile. =/

Cramps, and regulating a period are the only reason I would let my daughter take BC. I'm an abstinence believer until the kid is out of the house and on her own, or an adult who is physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially responsible to deal with the consequences. /shrug, but we all raise our kids the way we think is best.

And seriously ROz...they don't ALL rebel.

My mother told me, 'If you want to have sex, let me know and we'll get birth control.' So, I did. Know what she said?

'WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?'

my niece shay, was dating an openly bisexual kid. apparently he wanted to do "stuff" with her and she didn't. he was 17, she was 15.

she dumped him after a year of being together.

now she's with a new guy, a year younger than her. she seems like a good kid and she's seen the effects of alcohol and drugs first-hand, so i don't think she's curious about that.

I do not agree with her dating until i'm dead and gone though, but what can you do. kids grow up too fast these days.

I didnt rebel, my mom was awesome and we were pretty close.

Jen and I are pretty close as well; she tells me "everything" (her word). I really believe she does, too; tonight she said he approached the subject of kissing and she admitted to him that she was scared. She told me he said that that was okay, he could wait :) Oh! And his stinky ol' brother actually did something nice for them, LOOK!



He took it on his cell, so it's kinda crappy-looking, but I like it :D Doesn't he look so sweet? LOL

Oh dear god no. NO NO! No boy will ever be that close to my daughter! NO! NO!

/cries

Alison will never date...

Who am I joking...she already flirts! GAH!

So glad my oldest isnt really into girls much yet.. theres this girl on the basketbal team at school he calls his friend.. though shes never been to the house, and hes gone to watch the school home games even though he hates sports hehe. But since we moved here hes had anumber of girls in his class with crushes on him, and he hasnt shown interest in any of them.. even flat out turning them down repeatedly. Maybe he will wait just another 5 years..?

So afraid of becoming a grandma before Im 40.. of course.. when hes 18 ill be 36 ><
