Well, I'm new here...to posting at least. I've read a few threads here and there.
My High School life...
My dad is a "super" elder, and I went to a really, REALLY small school, and was the only witness kid there. As you can imagine, I had to be an example to the "worldly" kids, as well as not being able to do things because I might "ruin my reputation". Yeah, my reputation as the poor, witness kid who's insane parents never let her do anything. I could attend ANY extra-curricular activities, and I also couldn't join any clubs or take classes that might make me spend time w/ the BAD kids.
I was not allowed to take sex ed when I was a sophmore...they made me go to the library instead. I was the only kid in class who's parents wouldn't sign the acceptance form. Yeah, that was embarrasing. Also, no dances, no dates, no talking on the phone w/ boys, couldn't join National Art Honor Society, because it was a club. (yeah, NAHS is a HOTBED of Wild Sex. :)) I was a good little JW girl, and even though it made me mad, I rarely told my parents how I felt about all of the restrictions. The times I did, I just got yelled at and told that I wasn't being a good witness, and how I had to be an example for other kids, since my dad was Super Elder.
I had a few scholorships to some art colleges, and they wouldn't let me go. BAD people in art school. So, I never got to go to College...which really affects me now that I actually WANT a career.
Anyhow..that's my story.
