Relationships

"A confused girl.
Im 15 i will be 16 in october. and i meet this guy and we started out dating thinking that we would break up very soon. he gave it 2 weeks and i gave it a month.hes 17 and its been 3months now and hes ask to marry him. and i said yes. but hes joined the army and he left for basic june 24 and its july 6th now. and where suppose to get married in december. but where thinking about getting married sooner. and he wants to have a baby now. i dont know what to do im so confussed. i dont even know if i want to go through with it anymore. but im not going to leave him."
=====================================

I'll See What I can do, because i am in about the exact same situation.
for starters, if you say that it's only going to last a certain amount of time right from the start, your setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

second, i'm going to be very blunt.
from what you have described, a baby is completely out of the question. PERIOD. it's more than likely that you are either unemployed or make so little that there is no way to care for yourself and a baby.
did you know that is costs almost $10,000/ year
to care for a baby? and that a minimum

Third, wait to marry. because of two things. A. you arent even old enough to legally marry (even in Las Vegas) i'm not saying leave him or even call off the engagement, all i am saying is put the actual wedding later in time.

i am in the army as well and it's tough especially for the people that have to wait for your return

if you or anyone else, would like further advice on this or any other problem, or just to chat, just e-mail me.
just have the subject read :ADVICE

Hi. I am a 22 year old female and am often told randomly sometimes by strangers that I am attractive and should be a model. Somehow this attention is more nerve wrecking than anything. At age 15 I lost my virginity to rape. It was someone in my extended family that did it. It took me a long time to come to terms with it and share this secret with my parents and siblings. I don't quite believe in family now. I don't know what to do. I am very shy around most if not all males and would really appreciate some advice on how to relax around guys.

I need some honest opinions & advice regarding alcohol related family issue.

My father died at 57 from complications of alcoholism. I have been married 27 years & have 4 kids. My oldest was dx with alcohol addiction at 16. He was arrested 3 times for fighting and ended up in prison for 2 years @ age of 17 4 felony battery! From the day I learned my son was drinking/doing drugs, our family got therepy. Indiv, and family sessions. With love & support from God, my mom, and dear friends, we came thru that painful time! That son is 25, married and doing well. My other son (24) has also had alcohol related issues. Not as serious, but he has also been dx with alcohol abuse. We have not had alcohol in our home for 13 years. My husbands family can't have a gathering without it! Now that 3 of my kids are over 21, one of our brother in laws constantly encourages them 2 drink ! He pulls out shots etc at family events (where young kids are wittness to this b-I-l's very DRUNK behavior). He even called & sent text messages to my daugher weeks before her 21st birthday saying stupid things about partying and how many days were left till the big day! He is 48 years old! I've tried to explain our feelings regarding alcohol to them (watching my dad die, my son go to prison, etc) and also asked them to see this from our point of view. To ask them to try and understand what we've been thru. We don't tell them not to drink or not to serve alcohol at their parties. We know our kids are adults and make their own choices. We do think it is acceptable to HOPE that as Aunt's and Uncles that they would want to help and support their nephews...not try to encourage them to drink when their futures could be put at risk! The response I got was 'alcohol may have been the root of all evil for you, but that's not the case with our families. Stop making us feel guilty for having fun. Don't blame me for the poor choices your children have made. They say I AM Rediculous! Am I? Or, are they?
Is it acceptable for me to refuse to attend family events at this specific sister's home?

I got beack together with my ex after 2 years of not seeing eachother. The first time we dated, I felt like I found that "one person" that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Things started to become serious. But, as others, just like me, I became scared and did one of the most horrifying things I could have ever even thought of. I cheated on him. We obviously broke up and stopped talking. But now that we are back together, I feel, once again, like I found my "one and only". He tells me that he is over that whole thing, but I know he isn't. I know that he still thinks about that night and wonders "why would she do that to me?". I tell him that I love him everyday and every night. I leave him cute little messages telling him how much I love him and how much he means to me, but it's getting to the point where I don't think just saying "I love you" is doing enough. I don't want to smother him or drive him away, but I want him to know exactly how much he means to me. I need help. I don't know how to let him know how much I love him and how I think of him almost every second of the day. Please, HELP!!

I've liked this boy since kindergarten. Right mow im in 4th grade. He acts like he likes me but im not sure. Heres the biggest problem. 2 of my best friends like him too! We swore we would'nt get mad if he asked one of us out.
But it seems wrong to ask him out. So inside of us were screaming. Will he ask one of us out or wil we be stuck inside our thoughts and never think of anything but him?
