Quote from Frosty: “What you said originally wasn't that drinking before x age is bad for you, but that drinking before the legal age (which varies from country to country) is bad for you. Hence the full-retard impliction that the point at which drinking becomes ok for your body is determined by legislation.” Technically, each country has it's own beliefs on what age is safe to drink at. My beliefs aren't the same as every country out there.

Quote from Frosty: “Wait... You seriously think that variations in legislation between countries actually change the effect alcohol has on the body? Seriously?” What? No... I said that to legally drink differs on the age limit by country. No matter where you live, your body matures at the same rate. That is why I am a huge supporter of the legal age for drinking in the United States being so much higher than most, if not all, countries. Our age limit means our bodies are much more mature and cap…

I agree with Kevin. Although this is an extremely long distance relationship, there is really no reason to at least try it. If you guys really, truly have feelings for each other that nothing and no one can change, then the miles will be well worth the future.

Mm, well, my tastes in men have changed slightly over the last few years, but my boyfriend is still the guy of my dreams. I like a good guy with a bad exterior. I like some tattoos and some piercings on a guy who cleans up nice. I like a guy that can make me laugh when I don't want to and who knows all the right things to say. But, it he can tell me that I am wrong when he thinks I am, he has won my heart.

Well, if I didn't have the internet, I wouldn't be going to school. Or, at least, I would still be in public school (ew). I wouldn't be nearly as smart as I am. Google is my best friend in a pinch. And a few of my best friends I have met through Twitter, Blogger, and OMGPOP. So, without the internet, I wouldn't have those guys. Without the internet, I wouldn't talk to my boyfriend nearly as often. A long distance relationship is made miles easier with more ways of communication available. So, ba…

Quote from Frosty: “Drink driving is stupid. But having said that; >Implying that the age at which drinking becomes safe for your body and mind varies between countries due to varying legislation myface.jpg” Correct...

Hello all! I just wanted to take a moment to chat with you all about drinking and driving, particularly when 18 and under. Drinking at all before the legal age (21 in the United States, but differing in other countries) is extremely dangerous to your body and mind and, of course, is illegal. I understand that just being told this by any number of people will not necessarily stop one person from drinking and driving or getting in the car with a driver that has been drinking. So, please, if you ev…

If you are really worried about your situation, the only possible things that you could do would hurt your grandmother's feelings in the process. I don't know if that would be difficult for you or not, but that is most likely what would happen. I've never really heard of a situation like this, but my guess would be to first sit down with your grandmother and talk with her. Explain to her that with a third grade education level, you will never earn scholarships to be able to afford to go to colle…

Because you are 18, you wouldn't be considered a runaway. Maybe, -maybe-, your parents would be dumb enough, sorry about that, but that is what I mean, to report you as a missing person after a couple of days. Either way, they would get in trouble if the police got a hold/in contact with you and found out that you were backpacking and your parents knew. But, as Alaan said, all you should worry about is having a place to come home to. So, because of this, I would suggest what Alaan did. Put the t…

Quote from dannym2326: “Well I hate to say it, but it sounds to me like your mum is either A) Jealous of your dad's relationship, B) In a midlife crisis, or C) Both. You cant influence her decisions but the best idea might be a conversation so you realise if this is what she really wants :)” Which is completely possible! So, either you put up with HER relationship with HER boyfriend which has nothing to do with you seeing as you're dating neither until they get bored with each other and go their…

Honestly, age really is just a number to me in cases where one isn't completely rich beyond belief or has the potential to be. And, to be honest, nine years is generally considered a large number of years between two people by those that care.

Quote from Cop2be: “Its also ridiculous that she just LET her throw her clothes away. I mean come on, who the hell just LETS someone do that? I don't care if it is my own mom, I am not going to let someone throw away a huge chunk of my clothes, who knows if its the clothes I wear most frequently or not or if my favorite item of clothing was in that pile or a special gift from a friend. I know its like two weeks later but she really should see if they are still in the garage or if they haven't be…

As long as you are living at home over the age of 18, I believe that you should be paying at least a portion of the cable/internet/phone bill, pay your portion of the car insurance, even pay rent and give money towards grocery bills. However, as long as you are in college AND doing the above-mentioned things, I don't see a reason for a parent to complain. I'll only be home for less then two months between turning 18 and going to college (I'll be living in dorm) and I've already worked out that I…

Quote from Kerosene: “Am I the only one who thinks her mother is justified? I mean, I admit, it sucks, but her mother clearly told her not only how long she had to do it, but what she wanted done as well as the consequences for not doing it. You say you have a job and limited time, but so do a lot of us and yet we find time to clean our houses,run errands,pay bills,do yard work,etc etc. OP: I understand that sometimes it's easy to forget such mundane things, but you're approaching adulthood. Sim…

My boyfriend and I have been together since we were 12 and 13, too young to even "be together". Now, we're 17 and he'll be 18 this September. We've dealt with a long distance relationship for the last three and a half years. It is really, really hard, but we've made it through. My first and -only- time I had sex was about a year and a half ago. We were both 15. He and his family were in town (our families are good friends). He and I wanted to go out to eat, so we walked to a little restaurant ab…

Quote from ISellCheese: “well, good luck with ur baby(read: doom) im goin to pray for u if it happens - ok that doom one is a mean joke. but im not mean.... actually im not mean at all.. well, sometimes:)” :rofl: Quote from Scaredycrow: “My friend had a baby about a year ago now and recently posted a status update about how depressing it is that she can only be identified as a mom now. You can be as mature as you want and love the baby to bits but it still changes everything, even the way people…

Most likely, all that you could do is live the rest of your days until your 18th birthday in India. Then, once considered a legal adult in the United States, work on becoming a -legal- citizen (I can't stress this enough, it irritates me to know end the number of illegal aliens in this country) and move to the US. Or, I believe, if you want to go to college for those subjects, you should be able to (if you get accepted to an American college) live here on a student visa. ---------- Post added at…

I don't know the laws within your country, or area of country, but in the US, you would have to get emancipated to live on your own at an age under 18. Usually, I believe, you have to be 16 before you can even get emancipated. And some areas don't even allow emancipation at all. D: That converts to just under $6,500 a week/month. Either way, that is really good, but basically impossible for a teenager. XD Well, I am just glad that you WON'T be doing it. DON'T DO IT.

Quote from Izzie :): “Aww thanks for sharing that story, and I'm guessing you had an abortion or something? xx” No. Unfortunately, I miscarried in my second trimester. And, if it helps someone realize that a baby at a young age is not a good decision, then I am more then happy to share my story.

I understand wanting a baby, but I am also completely happy that you realize you shouldn't have one. You're just too young. At this age, and until you move out, having a child would make the baby your parents' responsibility more than anything. They would be supporting and housing the child until you could (most likely at 18). My best friend has one child and one on the way at 17. She lives with her mom. The father of the first contributes nothing. The father of the second contributes everything…
