My mom treated me like an adult when I was 17. She had my brother when she was 17 and was living out of the house. I think it's very strange that no one wants to give any credit to a 17 year old. None of you drank or smoked when you were 17? You didn't try to look cool to your friends? You didn't experiment? I am shocked by this! Talking to her about the possibility of giving out too much info online is a different story. I would talk to her about that to protect her, surely.
I would never trust my cousin again or even look at her if she went behind my back like that and told my mom. We're not talking about a 7 year old here.
I know that the question was already answered, but I had to throw in 2 more cents. |
I felt this same way.... UNTIL I had kids of my own. It's a whole new understanding. I worry SICK for them all the time. When you are 17 (or near that age), you don't feel young... you feel like you have life figured out. Now that I'm older and have kids of my own, I want to keep them from making the same mistakes that I did when I was young. Some lessons are learned the hard way, but I love my kids enough to try and save them from some of the pain. 17 is VERY young still.... definately not nearly a mature adult.
