You win, I was petty and combative. Of course you are correct in your opinion. I was wrong.
Thank you for your honesty.

Memories of high school love;

A friend in high school had the same girlfriend for four yrs.

They were so much in love that they wanted to get married after graduation.

If no permission were given by the parents then they would get pregnant in order to be married.

In Sept following graduation the girls parents made her go to a eastern college (not a local in Calif).

By christmas she was engaged to another male she met at the college and they got married.

Guess TRUE love was NOT so TRUE to begin with after four years.

A lesson to be learned.

Steve

Hey there Banana Guy - did you read the posts? I DID offer advice that was helpful to the OP. Did Burb? No, I don't think so. I was on topic until the one hit wonder came along and decided it was her right to admonish ALL OF US for giving this young man some helpful advice. So stick that in yer pipe and smoke it.

No need to get hostile here ma'am. I am just simply telling both of you to quit it. No point in arguing to people you don't know. If she/he keeps bothering, ignore it and stay on the topic (which you did). I agree; Burb did get a little off topic but both of ya kept going on about this and that. Let's put it aside and get back onto what the thread is really about. Thanks.

P.S. I'm not a mod so don't worry.

Um ..... I'm not worried.

But as far as the things I decide to talk about, well Johnny, that really is up to me isn't it? Oh, and don't worry - I'm not a mod either.

If my daughter posted a question on CD about an important life choice would I want you to steer her in the right direction or would I rather nobody respond? I appreciate our intentions but I would prefer no response, then maybe she would go to someone she knows and trusts for guidance, rather than strangers on the internet.
And what if she didn't have someone she knows and trusts? Maybe the OP doesn't have an adult in his life he can really trust. Teachers and councelors? I remember being a teen and luckily, I had a mom I could go to and trust but even I didn't, I would not have been comfortable going to a teacher or councelor. Personally, my school was so huge that you were lucky if your teachers remembered your name. And the school councelor? Met him once for 20 minutes when choosing my classes for senior year. I'm sorry, you're ideas sound nice but reality, they don't always work. It sounds like you don't really remember what it was like to be a teen.

You really disapprove of us giving advice even when - despite not knowing us - we've given responsible, mature advice? I could understand if anyone had given irresponsible advice... but I really just don't see where you're coming from. Why does it matter who the advice comes from as long as it's mature, responsible, healthy advice?

Rather than drag this out further, I will defer to the greater wisdom of Mr. Bananas and the thoughtful insight of Ms. Toes.
