I am a father of three, girl, boy, girl, all are now over 18. I have been married for 29 years as of 6-30-07, so yes, if you do the math I was married at 18, just after graduating high school. I am very aware of the pit falls of doing so, but we made it through the really tough times. I came to this site, because of my daughter, she also uses the site.
I am an author and have written three books, only one under this name, but it is not how I make my living. I am in business, working full time and I have a seasonal business in ponds, selling Koi, goldfish, water plants and supplies. I help people to plan and build ponds, as well as, maintenance if they need it.
I am not here for the ratings and could careless what you rate me. I will tell you things I know, I will tell you what you don't want to hear, but most of all, I will tell you things from my perspective. I have experienced a lot in my life, I have not lived with my head in the sand and I'm a realist, you want someone to blow smoke up your as*, don't read my writings, (I don't do fairy tales).
I am not so foolish as to think I am always right, I can only tell you what I know and give you something to think about. It is up to you to find out if I'm right or not.
Life is complicated, because people are complicated and one answer does not necessarily fit all, but that doesn't mean you should not consider what I say as a possibility.
Feel free to write me personally if you wish, there is only so much you can say in such a restrictive environment as this site is, it doesn't allow for proper conversation.
Thank you for coming to my column and giving me the chance to help.

I had a really bad day..my mom took me to the doctor and i was barely told that the shot i was taking was Gardasil. I told my mom about the bad things i'd heard about it but she wouldn't listen to me! She asked the doctors and of course they told us that the media was lying to me. When i got in the nurses room, i seriously began to cry. There was some old bitch there telling me that later in life i'll thank my mom, whatever, I googled it and i read there are serious issues with the vaccine.

Really? How bad is this? I also read it was FDA approved and other good crap about it so now i'm kind of feeling guilty of what i told my mom, but i'm just really confused and really concern with my health. My arm has been hurting where i got the shot but apparently thats natural.. (link)

You know, I am less bothered by the shot, then the thought that you had no say in it. I am a 49 year old father and I tend not to automatically side with a child, but when it comes to decisions about that child's body, I have to side with the right of a child to make an informed decision as well.
I find it interesting how so many people will be up in arms over a female of any age who wants an abortion and the people who want to stop that right, but then will take that right away when it comes to vaccinations, or other medications that have not truly seen the test of time. This drug is fairly new and no matter the studies, you don't really know what it may do 10 or 20 years down the line.
I don't say this to worry you, odds are, it will have no adverse effect on you, but really people, parents will do anything if they think there child's life is threatened, I argue that in most cases, they are too emotionally involved to make that decision with out the child being fully informed and in agreement.
You will probably never get your parents to agree with me, but I hope there are others out there that will consider the rights of their child and realize that the FDA has been wrong before.
Sweetheart, please don't worry about the shot, instead, remember how having your rights taken from you feels. Your parents are doing what they feel is right, they are just going about it the wrong way.
I will not forget you and your letter and I will think my best thoughts for you everyday and ask that the angels watch over you always.

Thankyou. I cried because my mom didn't listen to me that time in the nurses room, it wasnt all about the shot. I understand she did it to protect me, she talked to me about it and i forgave her. :)
