Quote From: mzdill23 When will she be turning 18? Okay, I say that because she is a young woman, dispite what we may think or how hard we preach to these young girls they'll never know what we are really saying until they have been there. Yes, I do agree with you but I tell you, I have a daughter and it dosen't matter how much I may preach or how blue & black I get in the face my children always have to test the waters. I don't want her to become his victim by any means but, if that's what she wants let her get burned if she won't listen. I'm also a wife and mother of 2.
Respectfully,
Frusted about the whole damn situation!!!!
I'm a 17 year old who will be 18 in 3 months. I've been involved with a 24 year old for the past year and although my parents don't agree with it completely since they have gotten to know him they aren't as worried anymore. Yes, he has ben in trouble before, but he has had a hard life. Going from foster home to foster home and being treated bad by the family he did have around, and mostly having his brother be the start of his problems. I've been hanging out with older people as long as I can remember. The only time I am ever hanging out with people that are my age is in school, but not until this year. When I was in the 9th grade I was in classes with all juniors and seniors never anyone my age. I know this may sound like what a typical 17 year old would say "I am mature for my age", but in reality I am. I have been taking care of myself since I got a job and haven't asked my mother for a thing but to continue to stay in her home until I have a stable place to stay. If this young girl wants to be with this older guy let her! She'll learn from her own mistakes, I told my mother to let me make mine. I have learned that everything won't always turn out the fairy tale ending, but I have been able to make the descions to better myself and my relationhip. There may be a 7 year difference between my boyfriend and I and i may have taken care of him longer than I should have, but if this guy really wants to get engaged to her he will get his act together like my boyfriend did in order to stay with m.
