To all the unique little snowflakes of the world:

nefariousmango · July 2010

I DO think that everyone is unique and that we should nurture our quirks at least to some degree. That said, I am fed the hell up with the entitled little snowflakes I've run into lately, so I want to point out that SNOWFLAKES ARE NOT ALL UNIQUE:

http://www.news.wisc.edu/14569

Plus, by saying that we're all special we're also saying that we're all ordinary.

Sorry about the irrelevance, I'm fed up with The Merchant of Venice and using unlabeled graphs to guess anti-derivatives and need to bitch about something, somewhere!

hetshup · July 2010

My grandfather once had a saying that teenagers are the most conservative people in the world. They all want to conform to the same mould (mold?).

I can't help you graph derivatives. Sorry.

noelle24 · July 2010

Agree.

And if you can't argue your points without getting huffy and defensive, it's not going to help your case at all. Plus, if you can't keep your cool with strangers, how on earth are you going to stay calm when talking to your relatives and parents?

LMAO! At least in high school when someone has something to say, they say it to me not everyone else. It's a respect thing, as a woman you should respect other women enough to confront them first, before talking about them, especially in a public forum. Thank you for making my day though, I needed a good laugh.
-Unique Little Snowflake:)

catemeg · July 2010

Um, she DID say it to you!

And this isn't just about you Kayleigh - believe it or not, you aren't the only 17 year old who has come on here asking us all to tell you how to talk your parents into supporting your premature nuptuals. And you're definitely not the only newbie who didn't like what advice they were given, and flipped out when people raised legitimate concerns.

In this case, you're really not a unique little snowflake. You're like (nearly) every other 17-18 year old who comes on here thinking they're as mature as they're going to get, and that love is enough to make a marriage work. When we were all 17-18 years old, most of us were in relationships that we thought would lead to marriage. And most of us are REALLY glad we didn't marry those people, because love isn't enough, and most of us are not the same people we were when we were 17-18 years old. Love gets you on the ball field, but you haven't learned how to bat and catch yet, so your baseball game is lacking a few skills. And THAT is what I've learned since I was 17 years old.

Newsflash: if you miss him so much now and that's the reason you want to get married, you're in for a very long career as a military spouse. Being independent and self-sufficient is Rule #1 for potential military spouses. Even in the Air Force, he's going to be away a lot. He's going to have unexpected deployments for unknown periods of time. And four months is still a very long time to have the person you love gone. No phone calls, no Skype dates, no facebook. If the people who love you most don't support the marriage (friends, family) then it's probably a pretty good sign that you should slow down and wait.

KayleighJ312 · July 2010

I am well aware of what it takes to be a military wife. I've seen his brother get married right out of A-school, and he left for Kuwait today, for 4 months. I've already gone 3months that I couldn't talk to him and I got a letter every few days. We've known this, and we decided that this was what he wanted together. He wanted to do this so he can take care of me, and put a roof over my head while I go to college, and so I don't have to work and I can focus on my education. Had he gone to college, then yes we'd wait. Not b/c we're not ready, but b/c we wouldn't be financially ready to be married. However, in this situation we believe we are. We don't have to pay bills, or rent or other things that non-military households do. We get allowances for pretty much everything, his brother and his wife are doing fine. We will too.

I only even said anything b/c the title of this was to all the unique little snowflakes and I didn't notice anyone else being called that but me. Don't make me sound like a self-righteous attention whore, I just don't take hits lying down.

catemeg · July 2010

I think you probably need to take everything said on here with a grain of salt. Most of the people on here are genuinely good people who are trying to help people out, and they don't know you so their comments are only based on the information you provide and their own experiences.

I'm sending you a PM - as you're new, if you want to read it and respond, you can click the thing on the left that says "Private Messages". I figure this has already been hashed out enough on the public forums - if you let the subject die, everyone else probably will, too.

KayleighJ312 · July 2010

Genuinely good people? Right, maybe things are different in the south, but that is not how we would treat people nicely. Anyhow, I'm deleting my account, and going ot go workout and get rid of this stress.

katanne9 · July 2010

Do we need to go through this again?

News flash Kayleigh - Noelle was making an announcement about a group of people. You just happen to fit into that group of people.

KayleighJ312 · July 2010

This is Kayleigh's BF, Daniel. She asked me to delete her account before I go to class, so of course I had to snoop a little. All I can say is wow, how cool do you think you are saying these kinds of things to her? As you've pointed out she is only 17, why do you think you are so much better than her, that you can say these things? I honestly don't know why she even thought she needed to talk to you people, we have our friends that are there. I would appreciate if you would drop it. I love her more than anything, but I know how she is. She wont just walk away from confrontation. But that doesn't at all excuse the behavior here, if you guys are so mature then why dont' you just walk away? Leave my baby alone!

You guys got fed a line by the recruiter. Have fun with that, I doubt you have any idea what you are getting yourself into.

She googled how to do it, but for whatever reason her e-mail is really slow. I built her home computer and its got terrible connection. And like she said, she went to workout.

I don't need to have a conversation with you people, about why or why not I should marry the love of my life. In a few years, we'll look back at this and laugh, while we're hanging out with those people that did support us. Btw, Kayleigh doesn't throw tantrums, y'all were just attacking her.

heyimbren · July 2010

i legitimately thought this topic was all about the uniqueness of snowflakes, and not a continuation of the other post.

and i believed until now that all snowflakes (and i mean the little white fluffy ice things) were unique from each other

so this is my something new learned for the day.

there should be an age requirement for these boards. this is exhausting to just read.

Well, I suppose if you don't want cable or internet... or a car or food or gas for your car or clothes or to not live on base thats true.

By the way your BAS only for Daniel, and it's not enough.

OR auto insurance. I'm thinking 100-150 for him alone.

<strong>Relevance? </strong>

I don't need to have a conversation with you people, about why or why not I should marry the love of my life.

<strong>Your life has just begun. And no one ever said that the two of you should NOT get married. Talking to both of you is truly talking to a brick wall. Posters just gave advice to wait to get married. Waiting to do something and not doing something are two very different things. </strong>

In a few years, we'll look back at this and laugh, while we're hanging out with those people that did support us.

<strong>I hope you do laugh. Nobody wants anyone's marriage to fail. If you were to read what some posters said to Kayleigh, you would see that we were giving advice based on REAL EXPERIENCES from REAL PEOPLE. Talk to your higher ups, your instructors, etc. Ask them their thoughts on getting married right now. I will bet you that even those who are still happily married will say that they wish they had waited to get married. </strong>

Btw, Kayleigh doesn't throw tantrums, y'all were just attacking her.

<strong>Attacking her? No. Attacking the idea of getting married 2 months out of high school, when you do not even know how to bring it up to your parents? Yes</strong>.
