We have an 18 and twins 12, the boys share a room 18 and a 12 so I don't always know what they are watching.
My 18 year old knows what is acceptable and he very good at saying no to my 12 year old as he knows what I would have let him watch and would say I was not allowed to watch that at his age.
I have let the 12 year olds watch some 15 but I have veted them first.
I think you have to know what your child can cope with and how mature they are for their age.
There is a link below that might be worth a look at too as it has write ups from teens and parents on films.
I am a straight women and speak to quiet a few bi females I don't have a problem at all, a few have said if only you were bi a couple have asked could I be tempted lol
It isn't something I have ever felt the want to explore or the need.
There was a bi female on cam the other day that uses the forums, I had no trouble saying how naturally attractive I thought she was and how lovely her hair looked put up.
I think anyone deserves a compliment even if from a straight person it doesnt make me feel uncomfortable as I feel it is deserved.
I would feel the same if I recieved one from a bi female.
A person is a person at the end of the day.
I have always known that I have never been good at accepting praise, that I have always felt unworthy and feel it is unjustified.
This is something for years I have questioned in me and needed to know why this was the case and to understand it.
By talking to someone that doesn’t know me in the vanilla world has hepled me put nearly all the pieces together.
One of the things I said was I knew I was never doubted by my family that has never been the case, it has always been people outside of my family that has made me feel that way.
The pieces have just dropped into place, I was fine until 12 very contented and happy, then I was bullied at school by a large group of girls at one stage had around 30 kicking and punching me, because I didn’t want to join inclusive groups but to have my own views and not that of others enforced upon me. This then lead me to always wonder why, why would people show such hatred to want to hurt me. This has lead me on a mission for years to try to understand others thoughts and reasoning behind such behaviour.
I forgave the bullies years ago, I have since learnt that it must have been their insecurities that lead them to be that way.
But I then didn’t like school it wasn’t a place I felt safe and secure at 16 I had another blow when my form teacher just before I left school said to me “All you are fit for is clearing up others rubbish.
So this then lead me believe I was stupid uneducated and worthless.
I suppose in a way I knew that wasn’t true but I have never felt able to leave those words behind and move on, but have always felt a battle to prove my worth.
I have not written this to ask for pity or praise, I guess I am writing it as a way of understanding it all.
I have done many threads in this forum and until I wrote here, I never had the confidence to write anything.
So all those that have put up with my ramblings over the time, I would like to say Thanks it was part of me finding myself and having the confidence within to realise in someway I might not be as thick as that teacher thought I was.
A lot of you here have helped in so many ways if only you knew how much.
Lust: cor yeah
Love: yessss
marriage I have a headache
Flower you are not the only one that feels that way.
My son who is 18 now said at 15 he wanted to work in a nursery, it was very much frowned upon by many. A lot of people asked why would a teenager want to work with young children.
I thought this would have been a good job for him as he has younger twins siblings and has always shown patience, caring, great nature towards and thought for younger children than himself. I think growing up to help care for them gave him the qualities needed.
But he was scared away from following that dream, on the back of how others would view him.
We are not meeting now and I have been wondering if I could stay on this site and just form lasting friendships, I know I have raised this before but this is a kind of update.
A few weeks ago I got talking to a guy that I told straight away that we don’t meet and he was happy to just chat, me being a little sceptical I went with it.
A few weeks on now I feel I have found a real genuine friend someone that I can talk to on very deep meaningful levels and someone that has taken me out of my comfort Zone totally is able to understand me, we have both really enjoyed chatting and never seem to tire of doing so.
I liken it to some people you meet in life draw charge from your batteries I can’t explain why this is, while other recharge them and they last for hours.
He recharges my batteries and hope long may this special friendship last.
So I do believe you can form true friendships here.
And I hope long lasting one too.
I believe a true friend accepts every part of you.
They always want to talk about you and not themselves
They can tell you honest and truthful things about yourself without it feeling they are being critical.
You always enjoy chatting to each other.
How do others see true friendships?
I am feeling a little sad :cry:
