I know I have to grow up someday, but I don't think I'm ready for the 'real world'. The world I grew up in is safe, clean, loving and supportive. And while I watch the news and follow politics, I have absoloutely no idea how to survive. I've never taken the bus by myself or even gone shopping alone. My friends will tell you that I'm utterly lacking in social skills when it comes to interacting with my peers. How was I supposed to know that talking about sex with a 12-year-old was taboo? Nobody tells me these things!
I'm going over to a boy's house on Friday, and I have no idea what to do. I don't think it's a date, per se, but I'm such a flirt by nature, it may very well turn into one. I don't want to freak him out, though, nor do I want to come home to find my mother welding a chastity belt out of titanium. I might ask him to kiss me, just so I can finally have my first kiss at the hands of a nice, sensetive guy (who may or may not be gay). I'm off garlic for the rest of the week, just in case.
So, maybe I don't have a clue. My way of looking at it is; I still have 2 years to get one before college.
