My sisters are both minors, and already lost their virginities.................. My youngest sister lost her virginity at 12.

They have both ran away from home and have done drugs. One of them got our dad put in jail. They are the kind of kids you see on Maury's "Wild Teen Girls!"

Well, my parents got upset because I kissed my boyfriend, Mark. I'm 23 years old and am still a virgin, and they got upset for me just kissing? while my two younger sisters have been having a wild time?:eek: :mad: :rolleyes: :( :o

Probably because they figure you'll follow in their footsteps. They probably feel a bit guilty for letting your younger sisters go wild and don't want you to go the way they have - only problem, is that now they're working backwards.

I think at 23 you're old enough to make your own decisions. Tell them they're just a little late on the good parenting skills.

And you're NOT still with that clown are you? Maybe they're not so upset about you kissing a guy as they are THAT PARTICULAR guy! ;)

Yeah, I'm still with him.:blush: He's a great guy, and I believe that he no longer frauds banks. He said, 'Frauding the bank was the worst mistake of my life.":)

Well, at 23 I think your parents need to start taking care of the minors in the family. They need to treat you like an adult and let you go, and make your own decisions. Like one poster said, it sounds like they are a little (or very) late on the parenting skills. If your parents know about the fraud business and all they could be pretty skeptical of you kissing him then. But if you are over 18, they really can't tell you who you can and can't be with. They may submit opinions but that is it. And your parents need to learn that just because an adult is a non-virgin, does not make them a bad person.

Oy vey...Deja vu anyone?

just for the record, its called defrauding, not frauding

Yeah, I'm still with him.:blush: He's a great guy, and I believe that he no longer frauds banks. He said, 'Frauding the bank was the worst mistake of my life.":)

Most great guys don't defraud banks.

Ok. This really pisses me off! How is it that a woman could fall so head over heals for a guy who has done dishonest things?

Taking it further(I know mark hasn't done these things), how is it a woman can stay with a man who belittles her, beats her, demeans her, disrespects her embarrasses her???

How is it, there are women who will follow these me into hell without question... and I can't even get a date???

What do these sob men have that I don't have? What did they do that I haven't? Why do they even have women????

Like I said. It pisses me off.

Ya gotta buy a leather biker jacket and become "The Bad Boy" a la Tommy Lee. To complete the ensemble, don't forget the white "wife beater" shirt and those pipe pants, belted and drooping to the back of your knee.
Apparently that is very appealing to some chicks. Only thing is that you probably don't want those chicks because they have major issues of their own - starting with extremely low self-esteem. ;)

If your parents know about the fraud business and all they could be pretty skeptical of you kissing him then. .


Uh, June my parents didn't even know that Mark was a fraud when they found out about me kissing him. They still don't. So that couldn't be the reason they got upset.:confused:

Why are you still with this guy? Do you really believe his obvious line about how frauding the bank was the worst mistake of his life?

Oy vey...Deja vu anyone?
I remember a similar thread the day I joined... something about parents getting mad about being in the bathtub too long - maybe I'm losing it. :lol:

I don't know if it's just me, but there is something about this entire thread which I find distasteful. ohno:

i'm not saying it's an ok situation for the girl to be in, but usually the guy provides her with some kind of support. that's why my best friend is still in my life....he's a good person at heart but he treats me badly sometimes, and when he's not in the mood for making me cry and telling me he hates me, he's the only thing that really makes me feel like i have meaning. when we were dating he was the sweetest thing you could imagine, and that's why i got so attached and dependent on him in the first place. it was a few days after we broke up (last year) when he began to slowly change. i've tried to let go of him but i can't and it's quite pathetic. he's always been VERY well-behaved and respectful towards authority so i can't entirely relate to janice's situation, but i hope she can realize that people who break rules with the law are bound to break rules with other things, like relationships with people. janice, you say that he stopped defrauding banks, but wasn't it just two or so months ago that he was doing it? that's not enough time to take his word that he's stopped. i don't mean to sound harsh but you sound like you're easy for people like him to manipulate and deceive. i wish you would get away from him before you get too dependent on him and end up in a situation similar to mine.

Uh, June my parents didn't even know that Mark was a fraud when they found out about me kissing him. They still don't. So that couldn't be the reason they got upset.:confused:

Oh, then thats weird then. Besides, that bit of info is between you and him anyway. Maybe they are trying to discipline you and "keep you in line" as a make-up for not being able to control your other sisters. It makes sense

You are right. I'm not talking about Janice Johnson's situation because i dont know it all, but in general that is so true. I guess some strange women get a rush to be with men who are a**holes, Sometimes i meet really sweet guys and i swear these guys are taken, but they say "oh no, i'm single". And then i see male-chauvanist belittling men and think for sure they are single, and then they have a nasty woman going up and kissing on him. Its so stupid how it works. Its like being nice is unattractive. Just keep being yourself though, one day a self-respecting woman will snap you up fast like i did to my fiance, lol.

I can be bad... :( I'm sure I can...

but dont forget that being 'bad' is attracting the wrong kind of women :lol:

I can be bad... :( I'm sure I can...

Please don't. In the long run, no woman wants a man who will disrespect her.

Sometimes I swear you make these things up as you go along.

:lol:

If you see a female with a guy that is treating her badly and she seems to be "ok" with it, don't immediatlely think that all the bad guys get women while the good guys are alone.

The bad guy searches for a female that he can play mind games with. He will find someone he can belittle, tell her how bad "she" is, tell her negative things, lower her self-esteem (lower it than it already is), tell her "I love you" one moment and then say, "You are stupid" the next. This will not work or fly with someone who CANNOT BE CONTROLLED LIKE THAT. So, next time you wonder how can any female put up with a guy like that, you have to wonder what issues that female has that allows her to feel she is not worthy of a good man.

it's just you. :)

janice, you say that he stopped defrauding banks, but wasn't it just two or so months ago that he was doing it? that's not enough time to take his word that he's stopped. .

No, it wasn't just two months or so. He told me that he frauded the bank around November 2006. The last I heard, that means that that was a whole year ago!:) ;)

An update

Mark has been ignoring my calls and texts messages.:( He spoke to me for about 5 minutes one day, then didn't speak to me for about three days. When he finally picked up his cellphone, he spoke to me about 45 seconds, than hung up the phone on me and turned off his phone.:( He kept his phone off for about a day, and when he finally turned it on, he ignored all of my texts and phone calls to him....... Even the ones marked "URGENT!" I'm the only one doing anything in this relationship now.............:( It's so sad, I actually think of the song, 'You keep me Hanging On" by Kim Wilde. i sometimes think of the song, 'Straight Up" by Paula Abdul.............:(

Have self-respect. You deserve someone that will treat you like you exist. You don't deserve to be treated like ****, so move on. There are so many other men in the world that knows how to treat women so don't put up with it.

Sorry to sound so cruel, but take the hint. It's over. Move on.


Is anyone feelinbg DeJaVu? Remember Ryan?:eek: I seriously think this is Ryan all over again, but at least Ryan didn't keep me hanging on and told me to basically get out of his life. That gave me some closure.... At least he had the decency to tell me to leave him alone. He could have just plain ignored me, like Mark is doing. I kind of wish that Mark would say, "Please leave me alone. i don't like you anymore." Then he wouldn't be keeping me hanging on. This "ignore" thing, is the coward's way to say that a relationship is over. I'd rather he be a man about it and tell me it's over, instead of this 'slow burn breakup.":(

Janice, you are doing just fine. Let that man go! Your parents will get worked up because they are your parents. That is a natural thing. They will be right even when they are wrong. LOL. They have to give you space and let you make your choices. You can take advise from them and filter out the negative aspect and make a quality choice 4 you alone.

Let him go. This is going to sound extremely chiched like on TV but "girlfriend, you can do better than him. You don't need him". yadda yadda. It won't be a solid relationship if he as the man can't even do his part in the relationship. Congrats for keeping the V card as well. Nothing wrong with that!

The lyrics you need to start singing is "to the left" from Beyonce's "Irreplacable"

Sounds like you are too clingy calling and texting; for some reason guys don't like that.
There's something called 'space' and maybe he's needing his. If he's true to you; he'll come around but LET HIM BE for a while.

Well, space is good and all but when you are in a relationship, then your "space time" is limited. If anyone feels the need for constant space, they need to be single. Since dating most of the time leads to marriage, marriage leads to a baby, if someone needs a lot of space, how will they cope with these changes? When you have a baby space is pretty much non existant. Just saying though, that when someone you meet Janice asks for space constantly, they aren't worth dating. Especially this guy

Well after Janice said she talked to him for five minutes one day and she never heard from him another three days, that's too much space. If anyone needs 3 days space from their girl/boyfriend, then they need to just be single. Nobody wants to hear from/see their date only once a week.

Been there, done that. Been a mom for 10 years myself;) . Dunno, maybe he is not into her and she's just trying too hard. How long ya'll been together?

Turns out, Mark WASN'T ignoring my calls and text messages. He left me a message saying that his phone wasn't working properly because he hadn't paid his phone bill in a while. (He called me from another person's cellphone) He wished me a Merry Christmas, and told me he couldn't wait to talk to me again. I called his cellphone, and he picked up(he told me that his phone could only take incoming calls, not outgoing calls). We talked for a while, and then hung up. I called his phone the next day, and a recorded voice told me it had been disconnected. The number he called me from had not ended up on my "Missed Calls" because it had gone straight to voicemail,(because I had blocked all calls except Contacts) so I got that number from the voicemail 'Options" feature. The options feature tells you what number the message called from. I've called that number a few times, but nobody answers......................

Seems to me if you're having to do all this detective work to see if his stories pan out there's still something majorly wrong with this relationship.

I would just take it one step at a time. Infatuation can feel so great and fufilling but can be truly disappointing in the end. !Cuidado!

just dump the guy, seriously. there's signs ALL AROUND YOU to end it.

I am guessing he told her to answer the phone.

Irene, it was not his mother. I called that number again, and he answered the phone, sounding rushed. He had barely said, 'Hey, what's up Janice," before I heard in the background, "Mark, your time's up!" (The person sounded very serious and stern). He then explained even more hurriedly that his phone was turned off, and he had been using his coworker's cellphone, and asked me to please stop calling the number because the owner was pissed as hell that some stranger was calling her phone more than once. He told me that he would talk to me in a few days when his phone got turned back on.

I never mentioned "mother" in my post Janice. I said Mark probably told that person (whatever that female is to him) to answer the phone. I remember before caller I.D.'s and so forth (back in the early 80's), I would ask my sister to pick up the phone and if it was this particular guy to tell the guy "Tell him I am busy or I am not home." That is what people do when they don't want to talk to someone. Of course, nowadays that still happens because with caller I.D. now you can tell who is calling you and you can either not pick up the phone or ask someone else to answer it for you.

Why would a co-worker tell Mark, "Your time's up?" :confused: Hmmmmmm....doesn't that sound weird?

*sigh* Love is blind...

:lol: That's funny!:lol: Disclaimer: Not that I want the devil to take his soul........

:lol: That's funny!:lol: Disclaimer: Not that I want the devil to take his soul........
I have a feeling it wasn't meant to be funny.

Well, Mark and I talked to each other, yesterday, and I told him about my 13-year old sister running away AGAIN(on Friday, she ran away from a program for troubled youths:( ). I spilled my guts to him about her, and he was like, "That's horrible! I'll pray for her." He said that it was good news that she ran away on her own, and wasn't kidnapped... But the way he was speaking, it sounded like he was laughing.:confused: I said, "Mark, are you LAUGHING?:confused: :( He said, "No, I'm not laughing. It's really horrid news whats going on with her. A 13 year old walking around with no supervision is dangerous." He asked , "Has she done this before?'' I answered, "Yes. About 4 or five times. He asked, "Why did she do this?" I said, "She wants to prove that she can make it on her own, and doesn't need our parents." He said, "Your poor family. I feel so bad for you guys.:( Maybe the reason he sounded like he was laughing was because his voice probably cracked whenever he gets stressful news. Well, actually his voice sounded more high-pitched and chipper than "laughing." I guess that's how he sounds when he's worried. Hmm.

I'm so happy to have a supporting boyfriend, who I can talk to about stuff like this.:)

Turns out, Mark WASN'T ignoring my calls and text messages. He left me a message saying that his phone wasn't working properly because he hadn't paid his phone bill in a while. (He called me from another person's cellphone) He wished me a Merry Christmas, and told me he couldn't wait to talk to me again. I called his cellphone, and he picked up(he told me that his phone could only take incoming calls, not outgoing calls). We talked for a while, and then hung up. I called his phone the next day, and a recorded voice told me it had been disconnected. The number he called me from had not ended up on my "Missed Calls" because it had gone straight to voicemail,(because I had blocked all calls except Contacts) so I got that number from the voicemail 'Options" feature. The options feature tells you what number the message called from. I've called that number a few times, but nobody answers......................

Oh, my, god. Is something off-kilter here?:confused: :eek: Why didn't Mark just call me from random cell phones, his friend's phones, or pay phones if his phone was cut off? I remember when I didn't have a cellphone, I would ask random people if I could borrow their cellphones(my mother advised me to stop asking random people for their cellphones) or I used the payphone, especially when calling my mother. If I needed to make a call, i made damn sure I had some kind of phone to make that call. Mark could have even called me from his house phone(if he has a house phone, probably can't afford a house phone either)..... I wonder why he called me from ONE friend's cellphone. From what i know Mark has a TON of friends who have cellphones. Hmm.

Janice, you poor child you.

Is anyone feelinbg DeJaVu? Remember Ryan?:eek: I seriously think this is Ryan all over again, but at least Ryan didn't keep me hanging on and told me to basically get out of his life. That gave me some closure.... At least he had the decency to tell me to leave him alone. He could have just plain ignored me, like Mark is doing. I kind of wish that Mark would say, "Please leave me alone. i don't like you anymore." Then he wouldn't be keeping me hanging on. This "ignore" thing, is the coward's way to say that a relationship is over. I'd rather he be a man about it and tell me it's over, instead of this 'slow burn breakup.":(

It turns out, the reason for this "slow burn breakup" I meantioned in the previous quote was because Mark WASN'T breaking up with me! His phone just didn't work!:) (It does now), and we still talk. :blush:

this thread is becoming more pointless every day.

On a serious note, my parents found my sister yesterday!:) They found her and bought her to the hospital, where she is still in.:( She is in the Emergency Ward.:(

well these past few posts definitely support the "making things up as you go along" theory.

We have had several spinoff discussion on this thread including the one that Irene and myself did. LOL.

A sad update.....:( They've done her report, and she has TRIPLE STD'S..... *Cries*:( On top of that, she has HPV.:( And she's only 13!:( At her age, I barely knew any STD's, except for AIDS, let alone be catching them.:(

Ooooh yeah!

That's disgusting. Sounds like she's been hooking on the streets. I hope they tested for HIV also - it wouldn't surprise me if she's contacted that also.

[QUOTE=TripperFan]That's disgusting.

Yeah, they did.....:( The results haven't come back yet. My mom said that it should come back ina few days. I hope she testes negative...... That's one of the few times I want my sister to be "negative."

Janice, if you are making things up, this is one time I hope you are, this is devastating news and I can't imagine sharing this kind of news with people on a board.

If this is true, I hope your sister is not HIV positive and I hope she gets the help she needs. Sounds like your parents have their hands full. No wonder they are strict with you.

Why does it seems as if she's writing some sort of soap opera. I'm finding this whole thing hard to believe and this is my first time reading it.

something i have to say about the OP:

One of them got our dad put in jail. They are the kind of kids you see on Maury's "Wild Teen Girls!"

if your dad was actually guilty of what he got put in jail for, then the fact that you're grouping "getting him put in jail" with having casual sex, running away and doing drugs is just......wtf?

Wow, about your sister....if your parents have been strict with you NOW (since you said you're in your 20s...right?) they need to put every bit of that attention and strictness on this daughter and the other minors in your family. What do they do...forget they exist and yell at you when you kiss a guy?

Am I being a bitch for thinking selfishly?:( My mom makes me babysit my 13 year old sister when i have my own life to live. I have my own plans, and I have to push them back, because my sister went and got STD's. I am thinking, "That's not my problem, I didn't ask for her to get STD's, why should I suffer for it?" But,if I say that aloud, my family will say, 'What a selfish girl she is!" So i keep quiet.:(

:rotflmao:

if your parents would've been watching her in the first place none of this would've happened. They need to stop pawning the kid off on people and worry about their child themselves.

Is anyone taking this seriously?

Janice is infamous for her long and drawn out fiction stories. I doubt this is an exception.

I've been starting to wonder since page 2.

To you guys who have been implying that I am making up all of this as I go along, I am not. I hate when people think I am making things up, when I am telling the truth. This is my real life I am posting about, not some fiction story.

My sisters are both minors, and already lost their virginities.................. My youngest sister lost her virginity at 12.

They have both ran away from home and have done drugs. One of them got our dad put in jail. They are the kind of kids you see on Maury's "Wild Teen Girls!"

Well, my parents got upset because I kissed my boyfriend, Mark. I'm 23 years old and am still a virgin, and they got upset for me just kissing? while my two younger sisters have been having a wild time?:eek: :mad: :rolleyes: :( :o

I can kind of see why my parents are "tripping." I've never proven I can take care of myself. I'm 24, and I have never spent a night out, away from some kind of parental supervision or family supervision. My sisters have proven they can take care of themselves by running away from home and living with friends. And their still both minors! Even now, my youngest sister doesn't live at home. She lives in a program for troubled youth. The sad thing is, I'm watching my younger sisters grow up right before my eyes, faster than me, while I am still being treated like a kid. In my parents eyes, my sisters are already adults. They've already lived their own lives.

My 17 year old sister has already made herself less of a burden. At 16, she got a job, and at 17, she got her driver's license, making our parents lives easier. I still haven't got my driver's license, and I got a job at 23. I'm making myself a bigger burden for my parents. She got a good boyfriend, who is really there for her, and has a good head on his shoulders, while all i did was catch a bank fraud.

Speaking of the bank fraud, they really came down hard on me about Mark. I was 23 when i met Mark! They got upset as hell when they found out I had been kissing Mark! They didn't even know he was a bank fraud, imagine if they did find out he was a bank fraud?:eek: Hmm. Maybe telling them that I had kissed Mark wasn't such a hot idea. They probably thought it was immature of me to tell them i had been kissing Mark. An independent adult probably wouldn't have went to them and told them they kissed Mark.

Hmm, with their attitude towards me , I'm surprised I didn't run away too and live my own life, like my younger sisters had. They are really too strict with me. I reached the age of legal self-consent at age 18, and I reached the age of full legal freedom at 21! I'm 24, and the way they treat me, I have to ask myself, am I 24 or 14?:rolleyes:

You poor thing. You should step out on your own at sometime. Believe me, it is better when you do. You have that independence. Your parents will have to understand that you are not like your sisters but you are your own individual. :wave:

OMG I WAS THlNKING ABOUT THIS THREAD TODAY IN CHOIR

Hmm, thinking about Mark and my parents, I think that Mark coming into my life showed me just how much control my parents have over me at this age. :o The answer: Way too much control.:o
