***BILLIE-FAYE***
Thanks for all the debate stuff you're helping with!
You mind if I vent just a tiny bit?
Yesterday there was a fund raiser at church, it was kind of like this "brunch" we put on for Thrivent Financial for Lutherans... meh it's kind of complicated, but they had said "If you'll allow us the use of your new fellowship hall, we will give you a garentied $1,000." They had also requested that we provide some sort of brunch for them and perhaps some snacks to help them get through this business meeting.
Well, thats all fine and dandy, the problem is that the kids envolved in this, are all around the ages of 15/16. And for the most part even though they all annoy me to no end (except my brother) I can deal with their stupidity. As you probably already know - most 15/16 yr olds are lame, and mostly immature. This is entirely true for two of them who were there yesterday.
One boy (not real name but I'll call him "jack" for the time being), one girl "Anna"(who also happens to be the pastors adopted daughter, came from an abusive home, and puts new meaning to the term "a flirt" but anyway --) and the third person in their little triangle is girl #2 (who is beginning to trust me by most appearances... but that is touch and go)
Jack, Anna and girl #2 all go to completely different schools, AND both J & A have "significant others". Whenever they get around each other, they flirt with one another and "Jack" plays the girls against one another.
Through out the morning, I was keeping my mouth shut, but I noticed Jack and Anna acting strangely, and then - Jack ends up sitting on her lap arms all over her whispering in her ear... I still said nothing even though I wanted to walk over and slap them both because I know they both are with people at school...
Girl #2's mom called for him so he left "Anna" alone, but when he came back Girl #2 had taken Anna's chair so he ended up on HER lap. :-| This time, he ended up on his butt, on the floor. She pushed him off. (*smile*) I was proud of her for standing up to him... in a manner of speaking. He is a pushy... "your gonna do it my way" type guy. He learned it from his parents.
Then -- later on, with the "brunch" thing, there was a 2 hour "blank time" so that those of us who had come to put the food out and so forth had nothing to do for those 2 hours.
"Jack", "Anna" and girl #2, went to the gas station in Jacks car where "Jack" promptly locked the doors so the girls couldn't get out and proceeded to pin "Anna", who was in the front seat, down to mess around. EVEN THOUGH she said no, and to stop cuz I've got a boyfriend and all of that.
The other girl (in the back seat) was able to get out of the car and got his attention enough to warn him she was going inside to call someone if he didn't stop. He did - and they came back to the church where he proceeded to completely change his "front". If girl #2 hadn't told me, I never would have guessed this went on.
He is COMPLETELY two faced and I didn't like him before yesterday, but now I deffinatly don't like him.
The girl who was in the backseat, has been close to this guy because his mom is her baptismal guardian etc... and up until yesterday, they have been playfully flirtasious with one another and it was just one big friendly/flirting circle.
:-| Now "Jack" is paying to much attention to "Anna" and it's confused this other girl. She doesn't know how to cope and although it shocked me, when she got back from going to the GS with them, even though I was in the middle of something at the time, she came up to me and says "we gotta talk. NOW." She never does that and she looked scared, so I dropped everything and we went outside, where she she told me about this incident, and some other things that had gone on throughout the morning. And previous months.
She's 15, she has gotten into alot of trouble in the past... when she was 11 she got caught with a blood alcohol level that would have knocked out a 32 yr old... but she got therapy and she hasn't touched it since. However - being 15... she is not sure how to handle this turn of events emotionally.
I told her to tell her mom what happend and she gave me this "rabbit" look and said "I can't. My mom and his mom are to close... if I tell her something like this she won't believe me"
I can't do anything... and it bothers me. I have decided that instead of try to help I will just stay silent about it instead of possibly breaking the fragile trust between #2 and I.
The fund raiser is to raise money for a youth trip in July. I went to it last time they had it, and I was miserable because I didn't know anyone. What I fear will happen is the same thing again - but it will be Girl 2 instead of me because my brother is going along this time (15) and I'll be the "oldest" so everyone basically looks up to me and stuff.
If it wasn't for the fact that my brother wants to go, and won't go without me, I wouldn't be going because I don't want to deal with the BS that will ensue because of these stupid 16/17 yr olds... (they all must be 16 by July in order to go.)
*shakes my head* I am... amazed, at times by how STUPID girls act for guys. And vise versa but it seems like I see more girls being dumb and allowing guys to paw them then the roles reversed. And every single girl who is going on this trip... is stupid. They all act like sluts. :-|
Girl 2 I am with-holding judgment until I know her better, but I do recognize that she is struggling to fit into the whole scheme of things, and that she has a hard time at home and the whole nine yards. However - to make up for those problems by acting like a slut? Meh... I see both girls mentioned above doing that. (acting like sluts to cover up their personality problems or home life difficulties)
*re-reads*
This is long.
Catch ya later.
P.S. Reason I gave the wrong names for the kids - is because the older brother of the guy up there, reads my blog and my comments. So if you were to comment about this - he would see his brothers name, in tandem with the girls name and be like "What the flip what has he done now?" and then he would tell his folks and I would have broken the confidence that ReJean put in me.
And I would say YEAH! for TeenPact, only ... I have only heard of it because of you ... and am a bit confused as to its purpose ... But WOOHOO anyway!
m'kay.
Love his songs that you have on here...)
(btw-- on a random note; David Crowder rocks!! *laughs!!* I've actually had the wonderful priveledge to see him [and Third Day] in concert. 'Cept for the wild hair, he's pretty cool.
Okay, what is TeenPact? We have Spring Explosion for the kids down here out at KBA (Kiamichi Baptist Assembly), the camp the kids go to. It is just for Friday night through Saturday afternoon. Then they go to camp for a week in the summer, though my daughter will be in Minnesota visiting her real mother (my older sister) and her little sisters at that time this year.
Hope all is well and that the weather is good, no more snow!!!!
