It is not ridiculous at all… he is 100% correct.
I don’t know about you, but my first major crush was when I was ten. She was the prettiest girl at camp and even asked for my phone once and sneakily put her phone number in my list of contacts. I was standing pretty tall after that.14??
14 is NOT too young to have a crush on somebody. :nope:
I know you probably think I’m stupid and don’t know what I’m talking about, but if you’re going to disagree with me, have the respect to do so in an appropriate response … rather than just dismissing my post with a silly video, like I’m not worth the discussion or something.
I already explained it to you. The sins of lust, jealousy, etc etc are deliberate decisions to act (act being a key word here) on those feelings by dwelling on them or feeding them. (A decision is an action, not a feeling you can’t control.) That is why lust, for example, isn’t merely arousal or sexual attraction (both being feelings)… but a deliberate decision to objectify someone, even if only in your heart. That is beyond merely a feeling. The decision to do so is an action.
I remember having crushes on boys when I was as young as 4 years old. My first really REALLY big crush was at age 11.I don’t know about you, but my first major crush was when I was ten.

Haha. Exactly. And thank goodness your mother can’t do things like that, because that wouldn’t be healthy. Having crushes is a healthy and normal thing, and just because someone has same-sex attraction it doesn’t mean they will be devoid of this normal thing. There’s nothing you can do about it. If it moves past a crush in the situation the mother is in and turns into love, that may cause problems. But for right now, harmless crushes usually go away, especially if the person senses the other does not feel mutual.I remember having crushes on boys when I was as young as 4 years old.

I’m not sure what I would’ve said if my mom had been like “I forbid you to have a crush on that boy… you are far too young to feel that way!” … Ummm, well guess what, I do?
Ah, teenage years - an explosion of hormones, crushes, emotions and sometimes confused thoughts and feelings.
This is pretty accurate. It could be that you know she’s serious, due to circumstances, but if you don’t, she may just be pretending or even joking. Many of my friends (I’m a teenage girl) consistently refer to each other as “wives” or pretend to be lesbians in pure jest. Occasionally, they bring me into this and insist that I, too, am married to one of them, or the child in one of their play “families”.
Yes. My DD is solidly grounded in her faith.
Right. I just wonder how much investment DD should have in entertaining this drama. They’ve just started this friendship and are navigating their way through the transition to high school.
Why the need for such petulant behaviour? Deborah seemed perfectly civil in her post.
That’s just how she’s always talked to me. Very disrespectful and immature. It gives off the message that she doesn’t take what I say seriously because she thinks what I say has absolutely 0 value.
Yep. :yup:
Indeed. I think there is in fact a trend to be edgy. And what could be more edgy than claiming to be bi-sexual in an all-girls Catholic high school.
That is a hectic time, but there will be more of this to come. I think dealing with these things is also part of the transition process- high school is a place where lots of young people come together, and I have encountered many new things there. Many of them were things that helped me grow, and many were things I just had to learn to endure.

If they’re not close and the girl isn’t being disrespectful, I’m not sure if there’s anything else to do. Avoiding all drama is nearly impossible in a school setting. The best you can aim for is not letting it affect schoolwork, faith, or close friendships. If your daughter is well grounded in her faith, as you say, she should be fine.
I love the gifs - plus, it’s kinda your trademark, so keep it going. Besides, some people take themselves too seriously on CAF…
Awww, stew…:hug1:
This is something you could try, but I don’t know if it would work. In most cases the answer will always be no, even if the answer is actually yes.
