I'm Feeling Very Very Old...
There's another site that I pop into occassionally, generally in moments of extreme boredom. The site itself has a lot of interesting information and articles and also has a discussion forum. All age groups are reperesented in this place, but clearly I am one of the older folks on the forum, and there are a lot of younger girls.
These girls ask questions, about a variety of things, about school problems, about boys, about life and love, about boys, about makeup, about boys, about movies and music, about boys. It's kind of interesting to see what goes through the head of a teenage girl, and what questions they ask. Now, I'm sure some parents would hate me and think I'm doing the wrong thing, but if a girl has a question about sex, I'll answer it, honestly, I won't go into graphic detail, but they'll get an answer. Yes, they should be asking their parents, but they aren't, they are asking their peers for advice, and the advice given is so very incorrect. (Some actually believed that you couldn't get pregnant the first time you had sex)
Well, one girl, normally, I try to be pretty PC when discussing the female gender, I'm not overly fond of the word "girl" when discussing people over a certain age, but that's just a hangup of mine, I try to use the Young women whenever possible. This girl was a girl. Her problem was that her boyfriend was pressuring her to have sex, and she was really confused because he said he loved her but she didn't feel right about it. It was explained to her by a few of the old folk, that if she didn't feel right about it, it wasn't right, and if her boyfriend loved her, he'd wait and not pressure her. She eventually opted to not have sex with her boyfriend. I happened to check her profile, this girl was 11 years old. Her boyfriend was 12.
There's another girl, who was looking for advice on how to make a boy like her. You see, she gave him a blowjob at a party in the backyard, behind a tree, it was his first blow job, and well, now he doesnt talk to her,a nd what can she do to make him like her. This wasn't her first blow job either, and she's having a hard time understanding why the boys don't see her as a girlfriend... She's just turned 14 years old. How to explain to a girl that young, who's self confidence are clearly non-existent, that she doesn't need to give head to get a boy, and if she continues to do so, she'll never get a boy, without further damaging her self esteem. So, we talk about respect for self...
Another girl, was discussing a problem she was having with itching in her nether regions. It could be a lot of things, she claimed to not be sexually active, but what exactly does that mean anymore. She was too afraid and too shy to go to her mother and have mom take her to the doctor to find out what the problem is, so she's asking her peers for advice. The only advice I could give was go to the doctor, talk to mom.
It's interesting... It's also really sad... Makes me glad I am not a parent... Makes me scared for all the parents of young girls out there, and what thoughts those girls have running through their heads... And sadly that I'm not sure these girls are talking to their parents (not that I ever did, but I hope that I was unique in that matter)
