OK, here's the situation. Last week my friend Brendan invited Aren and another friend over. They were walking down the street last Friday night to the variety store where they met up with another kid in the class named John. They were laughing and joking, Aren and John were play fighting. Suddenly Aren pulls a knife. Nobody got hurt but the police were called in.
Here's the problem: This week Brendan is inviting some more kids over, myself included. He isn't inviting Aren, the guy who pulled the knife. I haven't talked to my mom but my dad doesn't want me to go. Despite the fact Aren isn't coming, he doesn't want me to go. He says Brendan has bad decision making skills, even though this is the only type of thing that happened.
I really want to go. Brendan just made a mistake. My dad said he should've read Aren's character better. Aren is just an idiot. I've known Aren longer than Brendan, I didn't think he'd do it myself.
I know this board won't really help the situation but I just wanted to vent my feelings. Brendan made a mistake. My dad thinks it's odd his parents are letting him invite people over, but they know it was Aren's fault and Brendan made a mistake. What do you think?

This is a dilemma... do you know the other kids that Brendan is inviting over?

This is a dilemma... do you know the other kids that Brendan is inviting over? Yep. I KNOW neither of them would pull a knife. One's a nice person. The other was there other guy who Brendan invited last week. His parents even let him go over despite his name is on the police records for a month. He was guilty by association. Standing five feet away from the play fight, that's why he nor Brendan (they were talking) tried to stop it. |

Ouch, that must realy suck...  You're not trying to reason with your Dad/parents saying that it wouldn't happen again, no other friends are like that, and that Aren was just supid? (Sorry if I haven't fully grasped the situation. ) |

Well, it IS your parent's decision in the end. If you really want to go, and you are sure of nothing of the matter happening again, then if I were you, I would sit down and talk about it with both my parents.

Ouch, that must realy suck... I'm just really tinkled at this one guy, here's the situation. Because my friend made a speaking error, she called my sister (Who is the love of my life and I am very defensive of, who is 6. Anybody who insults her dies.) my child accidentally. Then, this kid Jon became my sister's dad and my husband through another mistake. Then, he called his kid "Bin-Laden" (Name after....Well that's abvious), so I was tinkled for that. Nobody lives after calling my sister Bin-Laden. That's not it. Because I phoned him to yell at him, I had to use the other phone that worked. While I was away fromt he computer, my crush came on, and he went off just before I got back. So it was all Jon's fault for that, too. THEN, the worst of ALL: I was talking to him at school, very mad, and I was complaining about how tinkled I was, and then he said "Well you should've had an abortion!" reffering to me aborting my sister. That was the last straw. I hate his guts so much. I would never like anybody who said my sister never should've been born. He tries to pass it off as a joke now, even though it most definitely was not, and so I never want to speak to him again. I've been kicking him, pulling his hair, kicking his chair, pushing him, insulting him, etc. over the last three days but I'm just so mad. Do you think I should tell him how I really feel? (I was talking to a guy and told him about the whole story, and as I wrote, I was literally crying, thinking of what life would be without my sister. There were seriously tears on my face.) Should I lay the guilt on him and tell him? Please, I need advice! (And sympathy. That'd be nice.  I can't believe he said that! Trust me, I can understand how you feel. Which guy were you talking about when you said 'Should I lay the guilt on him and tell him?'. Jon, the guy you were talking to or your crush. |

If you really want to go, and you are sure of nothing of the matter happening again, then if I were you, I would sit down and talk about it with both my parents. Well, my dad is a great arguer, when he's right or wrong. Plus, I'm a guy, but I have horrible control over my emotions. I'd probably end up crying. My mom said the other day "I don't want you going to Brendan's if Aren is there' which I can TOTALLY understand. Frankly, I don't want to be around Aren after that. I want to see what she thinks, maybe she can convince my dad. I'm waiting for her to home, any minute now... |

Jon. (I moved that post to a different thread, I thought it was sorta off-topic, in case you're wondering.  ) |
