this "i'm such an anachronism" isolation from any modern culture can only go so far. It's supposed to be cute and quirky but it makes you seem like a giant teenager.

I feel bad for thinking this, but my best friend is starting to feel clingy. It was fine when she first moved here, and I had a lot more free time. But now I have school, an internship, and a paying job to make ends meet. I don't have time to hang out with her everyday. And when I do have time to hang out with her, she complains about feeling lonely, about being single, about her body, etc. I went through the same thing when I moved to a new city, but I took steps to change my life. I want to be a supportive friend, but she's starting to remind me of an angst-ridden teenager

22 year old woman and a virgin. A friend discovered this and now makes it her business to belittle me and tease me about the whole ordeal. I don't appreciate it, especially since I am a grown ass woman and not some naive teenager. I don't say anything to her about being 25 years old and still living with her parents. Why can't she show me the same kind of respect?

When I was a little kid (5-10 years old), I was surrounded by boys. I had no female friends, but I had 3-7 boys around me at any given time fighting for my attention. By the time I was a teenager, I started getting more and more female friends. Now I am in my 20's, and about 70% of my friends are female, 30% male.

No. I'm not going to play "just the tip" with you. What are we teenagers? That's how people get stds and pregnant playing stupid games like that. You're 34 years old. Don't ask me to do crap like that again.

I'm too old to be acting and feelinglike a giddy teenager in love for the first time. But I'm loving it.

I am CF by choice, Last time I talked to my mom, she said she was honestly so glad not to have grandkids. She said she didn't have the energy to do it again, babies and toddlers and teenagers. It was almost like she was thanking me, I think.

all these confessions about being stepmoms convinces me that I want nothing to do with guys who have kids who live with them! UGH!!! I hate kids as it is and the last thing I need in my life is a bunch of spoiled, whiny needy teenagers. UGH!!!! I'd rather masturbate alone for the rest of my life!

I am about to turn 30. I am divorced and currently single. In the last year I have found out I have a life-altering chronic illness, had to move with only 1 week's notice, had to put my dog to sleep, and am recently unemployed due to the closure of the business I worked for. Oh and I was dumped by the only guy I've dated since my divorce... on Christmas. I have struggled with depression since I was a teenager, but things were under control. Given all my recent losses, I am thisclose to falling over the edge. I really don't know if I can hang on much longer...

I swear to god, I can't believe that in this day and age there are still so many stupid pregnant teenagers and teenage mothers! Sorry but you know what? There is nothing wonderful, natural and beautiful about skaggy looking 20 year olds with two sad looking pathetic hyperactive kids. Generally I feel sorry for the kids, even the little ones seem to have this defeated attitude.
