At 14 a girl has usually just graduated from dolls. She is recieving some higher doses of hormones. She has learned if she dresses in certain ways then those mysterious creatures called boys look at her and smiles at her. Those little boys they played house with, become shy and awkward when they smile. And they become nice and give her attention. Their girlfriends have boyfriends. They talk about them. A lot! They talk about all the boys, and who is wearing what, and who said what, and who did what. They are learning to distinguish what is cool, and what isn't. Boyfriends are cool. Movies are cool. Music is cool. Being an adult is cool. They aren't sure what happens with boys, but since sex is cool they are eager to experience it (and they are starting to get a push from those hormones). But a good girl doesn't have sex unless she is in love and wants to get married. So if they want to have sex with someone, then they must be in love and want to get married.
I am an adult now. But I remember being 14. I remember looking at boys and wanting a boyfriend. Badly. But I was too shy. And not really sure how to get a boyfriend. That was many years ago. Now there are movies about it, music about it, magazines about, and it is discussed more openly. Girls are maturing physically earlier, whether we want them to or not. They spend an awful lot of their time thinking about these things, whether we want them to or not. But to them, it is sort of like playing house. They still haven't grasped the realities yet.
Now this 14 year old. She gets an 18 year old boyfriend. She must really be something, cause he loves her. They have sex, so they must be in love. They want to get married. Her parents are standing in the way of true love. She knows it is true love because he is grown up enough to come to her house and argue with her parents, in order to keep her.
Then in a warped moment of time, her parents are shot and her world is changing........what will happen to her, who will love her? Her parents are dead, and her boyfriend is leaving. The realities are overwhelming. They can't be dead, and he can't be leaving her. But he loves her doesn't he? That is why all this happened. He shot her parent's, but that can't be real, he didn't mean to. He couldn't have meant to. What will he do now? What will she do now?
She is 14. She believes in playing house. She believes that true love conquer's all.
I was using it as an example of e-mail that you can be arrested for receiving. It is one of the ways LE has of finding pedophiles. I am not talking about spam. :doh:
