Remember my niece who got engaged at 16? www.momsofminnesota.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=teen&action=display&thread=1373Well, after the boy got a tattoo of her name they called it off. Fast forward seven months and throw in a birthday to make her 17 now. I got word that she ran away yesterday. I was ready to make a facebook post with a missing persons picture and start it on it's way to going viral. Last night I saw that she posted on facebook that she didn't run away, she moved out because she was an adult and made her choice. Last I checked an adult is 18 and tells people when they move out, not just sneak away when no one is home and leave a note on the bed saying they were leaving. I am pissed off. What the hell is she thinking?! She has another FULL YEAR of high school to get a degree and now she wants to be on her own?! She says she's always been sheltered. SO not true. If anything she has been exposed to more than her fair share of life from day one. She says she's mature enough to do it and her facebook posts reflect her maturity level so well "i miss UR face hoe" and words like GANNA and CUZ plastered everywhere. I figured out why I'm pissed. I'm pissed because I love her and I see this road she's heading down and I know the challenges she is setting herself up for! Okay so she moved out and is shacked up with her flavor of the week boyfriend. Seven months ago she was going to marry her boyfriend and then they broke it off. She went through ... 4 or 5 guys since then and suddenly she's with the perfect one. *shakes head* |

Lets just hope she doesn't get pregnant and then can't get out of any bad decisions she made at that point. You can't do anything for someone as strong willed as she seems to be. Hopefully one day she'll grow up and find out that she did things the hard way.

Agree with Cake! Cross your fingers she's smart enough to be using some sort of protection.
Unfortunately...if a kid wants to be a dumb@ss, you just have to let them sometimes. We went through this with a friend of mines sister, and she DID end up getting pregnant and is now a single mom to this kid that the father will never know is around...because he's that much of a winner! BUT - sometimes you just have to let it run it's course...let the girl be dumb. One day she'll look back and say "WHEW...glad I didn't do anything stupider!" Hopefully anyway.

Oh Merrr, I pray that this isn't my DD...
How old is the boy that she is living with? And is this boy also living with his parents? Are her parents doing anything to get her back? I'm curious as to what they can do legally.
I get why you're pissed. She's making terrible decisions that you know will lead her to more and more trouble. Unfortunately her brain doesnt work that way. I pray too, that she doesn't end up pregnant.

I understand your pissed but ultimately it is her life and she is going to make the decisions she wants to make. If she is deciding to make a life that is going to be harder for her in the long run she will have to live with her decisions and fix her own mistakes. It's her life. I agree with the others and hopefully she is at least smart enough not to get pg by one of these random guys but other than that right now she needs to live her life the way she needs to live it.
