[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 314627, member: 1514"] Dear Nancy's Daughter, Hi, I am a friend of your moms and I have heard so much about you over the years. I have even seen a picture of you and boy are you a beautiful girl! Im writing to you because I used to be so much like you in so many ways. When I was in my teens all I did was party and cause chaos in my family. I was so rebellious. I wanted to be with my friends and smoke pot and drink. School and family life was so unimportant which really was a shame considering I had an IQ in the 130's and my SAT was 1230! Can you imagine? I could have gone to any college I wanted to attend but instead I was more interested in which boy I could sleep with next and where I could get the next joint. Yeah. Stupid. So stupid that when I was 18 right after graduation a friend and I were walking home after school and we were kidnapped and raped at knife point. Boy was that fun - NOT! It basically messed me up for a really long time. I went really foolish for a time and didnt care if I lived or died ended up pregnant not long after that and married a man I didnt love at all. He turned out to be a jerk and abusive to me. I never got that University degree which I really should have had. I eventually got an Associates degree in my mid twenties after I settled down with a good man. However, that good man is a construction worker. My life is hard. It isnt what it could have been if I had done it the right way. You have the choice and the chance to do it the right way. Maybe you should think about it. There is a time and place for fun. It doesnt have to be an all or nothing thing. Just dont let fun be all you care about. School is much more important than fun for right now because fun and boyfriends will probably not be the same things or the same person in 4 years but that education will be what makes your life easier or harder for the rest of your life.
