After over a year, my BF's teenage children still don't acknowledge me, even when I speak directly to them. My BF thinks they're shy but I think that they're just rude. I live 45 minutes away and have made a conscious effort to not overstep since Day 1. HUGE vacation planned with both mine and his this summer, but since they can't even speak to us, I've decided that he needs to stay home with his and I'm going alone with mine...He's going to be pissed.

If someone left you years ago because they were not *ready* for a relationship, can you ever trust them again? I mean, when they come back and wants you back? And we're not teenagers. We're very much adults.

I met my ex's wife today.No, she didn't make 'the face'. It was very brief and friendly. I did take just a TEENY bit of admittedly superficial satisfaction...she's younger, but I'm actually prettier. Hey what's wrong with admitting that? But she does seem very nice.

My confidence was ruined in my early teens (12-15) by guys who were mocking me daily in school and picking apart my physical flaws. At 16, I met a guy who worshiped the ground I walked on (I broke up with him 8 month later for unrelated reasons and he attempted suicide). Right now I get hit on SO OFTEN (beating them away with a stick almost), and I assume they like me for multiple reasons, but the one that I hear 80% of the time is "You are so REAL. I'm so drawn to women like you!" or "You are so direct! I love that" Etc Apparently it drives them wild.

Good Lord. 16 and Pregnant is just a combination of one bad decision after another. I am SO grateful that I wasn't a teen mom. I cannot imagine how hard my life would be right now.

As a teenager, I had a list of movies that I thought were so cool-- She's all that, The Faculty, Cruel Intentions. I've watched these as an adult and I have to laugh at my taste in movies. Why did I think these were so great?!

I think love is kind of like chasing the dragon. You get it for the first time when you're a teenager, and you're all hormones, and it feels so intense. Then you grow up and you keep looking for that same feeling, and you keep getting disappointed. You're just not built to feel that way anymore. You never catch the damn dragon.

I'm childfree, in part because I don't like kids. Even the well behaved ones I can only take in small doses. My sisters are both the type of mothers who mostly ignore their kids and don't discipline them. I don't like my younger niece because she's a whiny brat. I don't like my youngest nephew because he hits and screams at the top of his lungs and neither of his parents bother to try to do anything about it. I used to like babysitting them when they were babies, but I haven't babysat for them in a few years. I hate to imagine what they'll be like when they're teenagers.

I feel like a teenager again! (I am 40!) Came home to a dozen pink roses on my dining room table last night and the most amazing card ever because we have been together 6 months! I love him so much!!!

I actually like that show "Body of Proof" but i find her teenage daughter to be so annoying and the scenes she's in are so dull.It's like every character on tv has to have an annoying teenage daughter who is cutely precocious, mature beyond her years, a screwed up slut etc. It's such a fucking cliche!
