Are there some women who didn’t have to go through these confusing conflicted feelings and attentions from adult men when they were children? This girl was barely underage but she was underaged. I was younger and more stupid/naive. I was tending up reading her diary because I wrote and said so many similar things in my day. It was too close to home.
Children / innocent teens DONT UNDERSTAND THE HUGE GAP IN WISDOM between the older adult and themselves. They just don’t have the context to see the two are not equals and that one is CHOOSING TO BREAK LAWS TO SEDUCE AND ABUSE THE OTHER ONE.
I want this to stop. I suppose it never will. But I want to protect our young ones a bit better. I’m protecting mine so that they don’t go through years of being an adult’s toy.
No, straight out of junior high, in fact. If he said it.
“I shall avert my eyes”
I wonder if I can choose someone at random to claim harassment?
What a jerky thing to say.
This is a DIARY of an underaged high school girl, written in her clear girly scrawl, showing the psychological confusion a teen received with overtly sexual attention from an adult man. Your comment is glib and offensive. This is a subject that needs more attention.
Yes, that’s right. When you work off-B’way or off-off-B’way or even community theater, you have men and women dressing together. It becomes meaningless after awhile. But the real change for actors began in the 60s when nudity entered film and theater. Then it got totally out of control. Today, at least Equity is very aware of this and has certain rules in place for rehearsals. Personally, I agree with my old acting teacher who loathed nudity on stage because it stops the action cold.
And yet, how is a guy going to find a women who wants him, if he doesn’t approach a lot of women and take a few risks?
What if:
1) they lie about their age?
2) their level of intelligence doesn’t betray them?
3) their friends are older and treat her the same?
I only ask as I have had such an encounter. I was shocked and then scared shitless when I found out. This was months after meeting her and flying to NYC twice a month to spend the weekend together.
I guess you guys are going to have to ask for a birth certificate, lol! I think we’re all going nuts in this country. This is getting like the fake rape crisis on campus.
That is terrible. But you were underaged once and you got away with wrong acts too. So can she. It is YOUR responsibility to check ID for real. I’m sorry for your situation, I totally understand how it could happen. I tried very hard at 14 and 15 to LOOK 18 and it’s possible to pass for older. But one of the pair is the adult and has to take charge.
Let’s face it. You were scared when you found out because you knew only ONE of you could do time or be on a sex offender list for life. And it wasn’t gonna be the underaged girl.
I feel bad for youngish guys who didn’t know she was under 18. I really do.
But you do have to ask to see ID to be totally safe.
And Remy has a decent voice in it..although high notes of MJ a reach.
>>What a jerky thing to say.<<
Sarcasm is lost on you, isn’t it?
Did he know she was 17?
LOL. “A beaver’s teething tree!” Too funny.
You know, maybe his comment about me stemed not from strangeness but from stupidity! I never thought of that. Love your story. Reading fan letters over dinner? LOL
Up until I was 14 we lived in Burbank (LA is what I usually say) and it was not at all unusual to run into Hollywood types like at Bob Hope or the mall. No one ever bothered me but I did get asked out once by Thomas Dekker who was really sweet and complimentary when I told him I was only 13 at the time. I was tall for my age and it was an understandable thing. I was never offended by it and he was a 100% nice boy.
When I was in college in my very early 20’s I started dating a woman in her 30’s who was a classmate and she often made references to her being Mrs. Robinson and I was like who? I hadn’t seen the movie at that point. After viewing it years later I smiled and think yes Betty Jean, you were babe, you were, except not the married version...
I doubt Beatty or Jack Nicholson had to do anything vulgar to get women. Have to wait and see I guess.
Geez. This is great. Like watching your neighbor’s vicious dog attack the punks who have been trashing your yard.
Just a correction: he read his fan letters to her while they were lying on his bed.
