Question Posted Wednesday September 15 2004, 9:53 pm
ok-i live in southern louisiana and were out of school today (wednesday), tomorrow (thursday), and idk yet about friday for hurricane ivan. so on my profile it says holy crap no school tomorrow! i mean a lot of people put stuff like that ya know. (and for people that live up north, to get a day off for a hurricane is like ya'll having a snow day-thats how it feels) soo my mom and my bff's mom work together at a preschool and thats where we met when we were 3 years old and now were almost 13 so we go there with our moms to hang out n stuff sense we dont go to the same school. and well were actually born 2 days apart but shes shorter and umm lets just say not as well devloped as me! soo yeah and shes sorta immature, but like not like stupid immature, but like her family's kinda strict in a way like she cant see pg-13 movies until shes 13! (which will be in december) but anyhoo- so cusing isnt THAT big of a deal in their house mainly if the dad would say "damn" or something only everyonce in a while it would be ok but like my friend says them like when shes saying a story or somethin. but back to the story: well i had my away message on and she got on the internet and was like hey OOO u have a bad word on ur pro! (and i could kinda tell she was joking ya know when i was reading the message) but then she was like but seriously thats not like u? why did u say that? but she has no clue i actually cus kinda normally, like say crap and stuff which techinically isnt that bad a word and i say it around my other friends and stuff at school but she signed off b4 i had came back. but i dont get why she thinks its that big of a deal if i would say something like that-yeah maybe shes not that used to me saying it but idk...am i over reacting?
and im really sry this is so long but please help!

I don't really think you can get her or her parents to realize that it's not really that bad to say "damn" and "crap" or anything else like that that's not really bad. If it really bothers her that much, then don't say it while she's around. Or, just say it in front of her and she will be used to it, but make sure she won't go home and say it, cause that can probably get her in trouble.
