    I have an 18 year old daughter. When I work out, I have to have hard music that's loud and usually contains really foul language.

    And when I was pregnant people would sometimes scowl at me and say "Where's the father? A baby having a baby!" things like that.

    One of my friends got that a few times in the doctor's office and even at supermarket when she was 27 and pregnant with her second child! Although to be honest I think she definitely looked 20-something! More than once, rude strangers would ask her things like if she was staying in school to get her diploma. The first time it happened, she was utterly confused and thought the woman meant college or technical school and had mistaken her for someone else, a classmate perhaps. But they truly thought she was a teen mom. As if it would be okay to say things like that to a teenage mother, anyway...but we've had many laughs about it since!!

    Good to know I'm not the only one!


    When I was pregnant with my daughter (which I found out about not long after the mall incident) I had this older russian lady at work ask me if school was going to let me back in my "current condition" and if I knew who her father was and if my parents kicked me out for disgracing them. I tried super hard to be nice because of who she was but I got upset. And just simply told her I graduated high school almost 3 years before, I lived with my childs dad, not my parents and I was 22...I've never understood why people have to make nasty comments to people.

    I get a lot of shocked looks when I say I'm an engineer for an open pit mine. Apparently women can't have engineering degrees and work in a male dominated fields.

    What really funny is when I worked with the crews guys would come into the office swearing up a storm then see me a go "I'm sorry". I would replie "What for? I don't give a *kitten* if you swear." The poor worker would have to pick his jaw off the ground while the other supervisors would be laughing.

    that i got molested at gun point when i was 15 by a teacher.
    was on the news about it nobody believed me until a few years later.
    when he got caught molesting a kid at the beach in the bathroom
    everyone apologized for not believing me
    he got his face blown off with a shot gun
    i over dosed years later cause its hard to live with when i could of just taken the bullet
    so i don't like watching the news cause this stuff happens all the time and it brings back memories
    that's why i dropped out of school the day i turned 16,only have a 9th grade education
    it's been 23 years and this is the first time I've ever wrote about it on the net
    enough said!!




    This almost made me cry. I was molested too and it takes a lot of therapy to start the moving through it. Very brave for telling that story.

    I'm African American and hate with a passion anything associated with Tyler Perry. I almost didn't see Precious because he was associated with it. My friend had to convince me that he was just a producer and had nothing to do with the writing and directing.

    Since everyone does two posts in this thread, a few more things people wouldn't guess:
    - I went through a long-haired "hippie of the 00s" phase
    - I went through an intense religious phase
    - I'm obsessed with folklore and mythology
    - I sort of believe in faeries
