What, exactly, is this supposed to mean?

It means that she's 14, has been waiting for three years to start FReeping and I've finally taken off the bridle. A little too eager to post and not taking the time to proofread! ;-)

She'll settle down soon. (Lord knows, I'm terrified of this kid driving! LOL! "Gas means GOOOO!!")

Marie, all is well. Did you read my post? Awful. I'm double her age and my post didn't read well either.

LOL! We've all put our fingers in our mouths from time to time. I've posted when tired and posted when rushed and I've always regretted it. She's mad at herself, but I think that's a good thing. She's learning the rules fast. In a few months, she'll do FR proud.

Sorry, for the misunderstanding - I was not commenting upon typos - heck we all make them.

My question was directed at the point of statement. I was asking what does she mean about teaching to female style and behavior, and I meant it as a legitimate question.

She'll have fun here. I like her profile :) And I do appreciate a young lady with a mind of her own.

Good luck Mom!

May I add some to your essay? The school system, in league with the anti-American movement overall, attempts to emasculate our future defenders. It introduces the homosexual life style to impressionable and vulnerable young boys. Or it demonstrates "safe sex" to young children, signaling approval of early sex with no moral code, even offering the counsel of the murderous Planned Parenthood if the condoms and pills they distribute fail, or are not used. Lately instruction on how to log onto pornography on the Internet and how to hide it from their parents has occurred in a public school!
Often teaching results in an increasing dependence on the government rather than encouraging individuality and developing innate gifts in our children. And anti-American rantings have descended from the college level to the primary and secondary school levels of late!
The aim seems to be the ultimate destruction of solid, traditional marriages, where women are the nurturers and men are the providers, heads of household. Coupled with the exorbinate tax structure, and now outsourcing of entry and beyond jobs, women are forced into the workplace to cripple the raising of children, making the home just a place to store a change of clothes, it would seem.
This has all been going on since the early '60's, but is accelerating at an alarming rate.

Don't worry about the ritalin baloney. You've got lot of time and plenty of learning about life to do, before you need to contemplate the opposite sex, and the problems that may/will come with them. You must get your own life in order first. 10 or more years sounds good. You sound pretty smart, so just keep getting smarter and don't worry about the rest.

Add to that the socialist outlook on equality. They teach all kids the same way. I'd rather they put kids who want to learn and are intelligent in a class by themselves and let those who don't want to learn mess each other up. If I didn't have all the others messing around I could have learned so much more; some of it was even interesting stuff I missed.

BTW: Are there many young people here? I thought I was one of the only young people here but am happy to find I'm actually older than somebody. Yeah!

I know your tagline is true, but I'm not sure of all the reasons, except those concerning France. Could you let me know why England is considered to be a mockery? Does it have to do with the Revolutionary War? Do they consider us to be ingrates? Please let me know...

Well, England is a constitutional monarchy. This is supposedly a quote from a person's History test where they put the wrong word in. I then added France because they really are a mockery.

No, I love Britains. Surely moreso than French.

After re-reading your piece, #4 isn't the school systems fault. How can they affect the divorce rates?

BTW- By age 14 most boys aren't supposed to be men yet. Boys naturally mature later than girls.
