WWYD? Pregnant teen at my DD's high school pestering my DD..........

[CurlyGirl]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? I wrote that, saying how everyone was turning my words into something they were not. That in describing my daughter as socially awkward and geeky, the rude posters on this board jumped in and labeled her a "precious snowflake" --- those were NOT MY WORDS.

I hate this. Are all of you this ignorant and mean in real life??

Again ... you used the term and, ten posts later, Sookie used your term. THAT was my point. I don't think Sookie was name calling simply because she used the same term as you did. Plain and simple.

I don't think your kid is a precious snowflake and never called her one.

Please refrain from calling ME names. Thankyouverymuch.

I really felt it was important to clear it up, as being in quotes pretty much proved that the OP was doing it to make a point based on other responses she received.

Sorry OP still feels abused with this thread...that was not my intention at all, and I will admit that some posts have been rough.

I really hope OP has had a good talk with her daughter about this very heavy subject.

I just scanned through this entire thread and out of all these posts I saw 2 by the same poster that referred to her dd as a precious snowflake.
I get the impression that the OP feels ganged up on because the majority of us are telling her things she didn't want to hear because we don't feel the same about the Susie situation as she does. Aside from 2 or 3 posts, most of them have been very civil but since its not advice the OP expected she is picking out those few and feeling attacked and her subsequent posts are increasingly defensive.

Exactly.



Times like these I wonder why anyone would ask for advice on these boards. It's not the disagreeing that is bad. It's the way people disagree. The OP was frustrated, venting, and looking for advice. She wasn't looking to get punted around like a football.

And she got advice, she just doesn't like the fact that it wasn't the advice she was looking for. She wanted the majority of the DISers to tell her to go to the counselor, what she got was just the opposite. Go back and re-read the thread, the OP was not attacked here.

I can't speak for anyone, but as an English teacher, I am going to assume one term was used with direct implied meaning (Sookie), and the OP's usage was based on the implications of others in the thread, which is why it was in quotes. She herself did not use that term in a direct way in reference to her daughter, except for that response that you quoted.

Rough is right.

I'll agree to disagree with you.

For the record, CurlySue, Sookie was the first to label my daughter as a precious snowflake. I finally did some research of my own.

I think it sounds very uppity. She made a big deal about how innocent her precious snowflake is and how awful and inappropriate Susie is. With a lot of little details and embellishes. I think that with the amount of details we are getting - darn, its just like she (the OP) was there! Maybe - maybe - the OP is an elaborator who is worried because her daughter dare talk to a pregnant girl. You know, she might catch it!

Why did she imply that I was lying? I just don't get it. Why attack?

In that case, my sincere apologies.

And my name is CurlyGirl, not CurlySue. No name calling, please.
