*sigh* Well, I'll warn you before hand, this is going to probably sound like a rant, and you'd be correct to assume such things.
Now, I have a friend I have known since middle school (god, it's really been that long?!) and she has this boyfriend she has known for about a year or so. Anyway, she is planning on moving up to Ohio with him after school. Granted, she won't be 18 yet, she has no one up there she'll know except for her boyfriend, and hasn't never held a job in her life.
I can't tell her what to do, but I don't sugar-coat my feelings either; I think she's setting herself for a heartbreak. She's been so close to me, we're inseperable, and I just want to best for her. Even if it's her being on the otherside of the country.
I've noticed though, that has the time comes closer and closer for her to move, she's gotten more desperate. She keeps begging me to move with them up to Ohio. She doesn't want to go without me, but will if she has to. That already tells me she isn't emotionally prepared for this if she needs me to hold her hand.
She just won't let up about it. I constantly remind her that Stephen's troop is here in Florida, but she's getting downright pathetic. Telling me to come with her and then when Stephen is "done with the army stuff" he can come up too. The first time she said this I got really "O__O I can't believe you just said that seriously!" but now it's gotten to be just a pain.
She was raised in a military family (dad met mom in the philipines). She knows that "this army stuff" isn't some summer school business that he just "gets done". In fact, he's been seriously thinking about going active duty.
I don't really have a point (feel free to delete this if I've broken any rules), but I just hope she figures out her own issues. She can't expect me to drop my life because she has social problems.

If she's a big enough girl to move up with her boyfriend, then why is it your responsibility to move with her, if she wants to play at being a big girl, she can be a big girl on her own.

If she's not 18 can she really legally move out of her parents house anyway? I was under the impression that they're responsible for her until she turns 18 and if she just up and moves she's a runaway. A charge that doesn't disappear for I believe 6 years or so.

A charge that doesn't disappear for I believe 6 years or so. she can with parental permission, or if she's emancipated.

*sigh* I don't know, I think she's really jumping the gun. Maybe she's doing this to prove something, but I can't help but get really bad feeling from all of this.
I'll remind her she can't legally move until she's 18. Maybe by then she'll have thought it over some more.

it doesn't matter how old you are when you move across the country, it's still scary. In 2 years I'll need to move to WA from CT to be with my boy and I want to take my friend with me. It's scary to move so far away from your family and friends.

Well, it turns out that my friend and her boyfriend will be moving to Navada to live with her father until she is 18, and then moving to Ohio. I guess she realized that moving straight to Ohio without a job or money (or car) was a bad idea.

katarasin it doesn't matter how old you are when you move across the country, it's still scary. In 2 years I'll need to move to WA from CT to be with my boy and I want to take my friend with me. It's scary to move so far away from your family and friends. Not the case for everyone. Me, I was more than happy to get the heck away from my side of the family when I moved cross country. Best thing I've done in life.
