When I got kicked out at 16(pregnant) I looked into my school files and saw it said I had Aspergers. I have been going to therapy. 4 years later when I was finally talking with my mom again she said 'you didn't even know so it's not a problem.'" someone said.
"Me always feeling weird like something is off from others could've been prevented. I did everything to fit in thats what led me to feel like an outcast. I was the popular girl at school and I was doing stuff I shouldn't just to fit in. If my mom would've just told me I probably wouldn't of done drugs or get pregnant."

"There was so much porn on it. It was like 72% porn ... When he gave it to me I just deleted everything without looking and cleaned the keyboard, mouse, and screen. The whole computer was sticky. He should have at least deleted his shit before giving the computer to his twelve year old child."
Luddite
"My mom always tells my wife and I that she completely quit using Facebook," one person says, "but she doesn't realize that everyone can see her posts and comments, and she is on there everyday. I have no idea why she is trying to keep it a secret."

Tubes Tied?
"Mom told me she got her tubes tied after she had my sister. She told me this when I had questions about babies when I was younger," one person began, but after the mom got pregnant 20 years later, they found out the truth.
According to their dad, "'She didn't want her tubes tied after your sister, so I got a vasectomy instead.' I also had a good laugh. Not sure why she'd lie about something so small, but if it means that much to her, then I won't say anything."

My dad: 'wait you weren't supposed to get that'
He's learned to appreciate the fact that I get them now, though."
Quitter
"My dad used to be a smoker but quit outright as soon mom got pregnant. Or so he leads us to believe," someone says, "I know he doesn't smoke cigarettes, but he should keep his car floor cleaner if he didn't want me noticing his discarded cigarillo mouthpieces.
