I know that most have been in 'wierd relationships' and didnt mean 
for it ti sound otherwise, I meant that their have been situations 
that I know that most haven't been in by looking at my friends and 
many adults who I'm in contact over the internet.  I'm sorry to be a 
typical teenager if that's how you saw that.  We all see things 
alittle differently just in the past I usually see things way 
differently then those around me and I have in other areas n the 
group but have kept my 'mouth' shut.  Sorry if I rubbed you the wrong 
way, didn't mean to.
