"I just want to be friends" - Translation: That feeling I had about you when we first started going out has pretty much lost it's flavor - and I'm bored w/this relationship, so I'd like to break up - BUT, that doesn't mean I dislike you, so in efforts to hurt as little of your feelings as possible, I want to keep things friendly"

Good answer...did you copy that from the Young People Ask Book? Haha. You guys should look at the chapter about how to dress. There is a pic of a girl fighting with a mom about the outfit she is wearing, look at those clothes! I can't believe when I got that book, I actually thought that oufit was cool. Hahaha.

I was reflecting on how 80's that book was the other day . . . I actually remember the convention that we got it, and they made all the young people sit in the section behind home plate at the Vet - and it had that paragraph in the beginning of it just for us youths . . . come to find out, it was in ALL of them anyway . . .

I was too young, I think you had to be 10 to go sit in the special section. I was only 9. Dang it. I jealously saw my friends leave their parents to have a grand ole time unsupervised at the Vet.

I remember this. I could have sworn we were at Nassau, I'm not 100% sure on that. but all I remember is this older girl next to me and my brother telling me to stop bending my pen because she said it was gonna explode. That would have been hilarious, cause were in the first row.

wow - the only thing i remember about THAT book was my dad trying to go over the chapter on sex with me, and me wanting to run outside and impale myself upon the nearest picket fence . . . kinda like the "masturbation" chapter in the YPA book
