The average non-Chabadnik does not have this mentality to fall behind.
Could you elaborate a little? The average non-Chabadnik has what mentality…?
I’m not sure about Six Flags tickets but sometimes you can google coupon codes for different sites.
IMHO, telling the parents will do nothing other than cause unneeded stress all around. Like other posters mentioned, they probably know already. For the best long term solution, I second what aries said.
My Mom a”h always said, when they came to round up the Jews they didn’t care if you were BT, FFB or not Frum at all a Jew was a Jew to them and a Jew is a Jew to me too!

We’re just really special. 😉 (But no chandelier in the bathroom.)
I have a theory (And I know plenty of cases to prove it.) that a truly wealthy person doesn’t flaunt his riches. On the other hand, a “Shnorrer” will live an ostentatious lifestyle, on borrowed money.
Not sure if it applies to everyone, but definitely to many. What is it they say about a few coins making more noise than a lot of coins…?
Only on the first day. (The first two days for those who live out-of-town.)
Thats interesting. Its the first time I’ve ever heard NY called out of town.
I’m gonna keep quiet on this one but I don’t know of anyone who would shlep a cart of groceries on a train/bus/etc. She obviously chooses friends well.
Hatzlacha!
aries-
I’m also very passionate about some things and I know the feeling, but please, for your sake, try to calm down. Easier said than done, I know.
smiley-
A boyfriend is different than a friend who happens to be a boy. Second, even if some people might come out of a bf/gf relationship “OK”, (and I’m not sure about that,) there is still a huge potential for risk. Because shes 13 and not 18 and might not even know what shes feeling doesn’t help much either.
She has a picture of him, (on her, not just sitting in her drawer) and that sorta scares me a little too.
I tried it on a couple of threads with more than one page and it worked…
I think they have a right to find out about you but this almost sounds like shidduchim…
I hear ya.
If you want to read the last few posts, (not just the last one) click on the thread title and you’ll get to the OP. Above the OP it says

“Latest reply” is a link but the page doesn’t get cut off.
I’m sure theres an easier way.
Sender, LOL!
OP: this sounds weird (it is) but concentrate on the sound of an air conditioner or something like that, it usually helps. Good luck
Hey, nothing like a free trip somewhere.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Wouldn’t know. Didn’t see it. ?
oomis: I’m sure what you did had an effect on someone, somewhere. And don’t we say Machshava K’maasah?
AYC: Very nice, thank you for sharing.
Must be popular. Of the two stores I was in today there was not one Ami left. Maybe they should add you to their regular writing staff.
One more opening for the accordion for a real Jewish band.
*yawn*
There is a difference between someone getting married young and someone getting married before they are ready.
Its a very touchy situation.
They say with kiruv, one should not give up because it can sometimes take years to take effect. You did what you could, now the only thing to do is daven.
Maybe someone should start a “spot the Joseph” thread…
Its interesting this thread was started by someone who is so anti divorce. If you have people that should not be getting married so young getting married so young, whats gonna happen?
Wolf, do you know mosherose IRL? (Just because his posts are almost always in response to you)
Maybe invite them for Shabbos lunch and go to them for Seudah Shlishis (only) when the menu is usually cold salads…?
Lol, thats funny. I saw it on Yahoo and assumed it was some new show they were trying to push. (Just looked again- you’re right)
Kapusta-for the age thing, sometimes I feel like I’m way into my teens-I don’t know how I’m going to live through another few teen years…I wish I was almost done them.
Sometimes it might seem like it’ll be forever. We all get through it, hang in there. You clearly have a head on your shoulders and want to succeed, so no reason to think otherwise!
Kapusta-that is a great idea-I did that already but unfortunetly most thingss that the chesed organizations want is office based-not the type you can do at home.
Maybe I’m really going out on a limb here, (ok, scratch the maybe part) but maybe theres something you can do involving using organizational skills from home. For example, the organization Daven For Me is based on matching up people- all organizing. Maybe try someplace like that or start something of your own. I would imagine there is a large number of people on bedrest so you can probably find people very easily to take it over when necessary.
May Hashem bentch everyone dealing with an eating disorder with a complete refuah. Maybe this thread should be used as a support group? (Am I too late for that?)
blabla- at 15 you sound more mature than some 20 (or 22 or 23) y/o’s that I know.
Another vote for BaGrill.
aries: very well said.
mikahall: also well said. Welcome back.
mosherose: Thanks for the laugh
Hi back!
Camp right now is the best place for her so its probably best not to tell any of the higher ups because they’ll just show her the door and tell whatever school shes in/going to. (Being there means she isn’t with him and probably doesn’t have contact with him -I’m assuming cell phones aren’t allowed but today you never know). I also think the fact that she mentioned it not once but twice was her saying that she knows it might be wrong but isn’t sure and wants someones approval. If its possible try to become friendly with her maybe even out of camp (what you’re able to do). At least this way she can have a solid support (even if its just for the summer). Theres a good chance that if “they’re getting married,” she isn’t doing this for a few days. If she brings it up again, try to find out if anyone in her family knows about it.
But thats just my (not-very-experienced-and-not-very-smart) talking. The other part is that I really think you should contact Rabbi Wallerstein from Ohr Naava. He deals with this stuff every day (sadly) and he can probably tell you what to do. (The number is 718-OHR-NAAV(A) and the website is ohrnaava.net. It looks like theres a way to contact him through the site.)
Lots of Hatzlacha
It might be a little annoying (especially when getting used to it) but there are definitely conveniences.
You win some you lose some.
Most beis yaakovs in New York give them out to the students.
Not mine.
If your choice of dress makes Lady Gaga want to “friend” you on facebook, you may want to consider a re-think.
The big problem isn’t a nut like her thinking that; its having facebook altogether. ?
Its not always what you wear, its how you wear it.
Good line. Someone with a “slight” issue (on one thing) will look a lot more tzanua than someone following the ABC’s that doesn’t get it the idea.
mischief: Good point.
Sometimes a major company will match a price. If you wind up canceling and ordering somewhere else, check for that option.
Good luck
Can’t look for it now but I think there is at least one (but possibly more) thread(s) on ED’s.
Yes, oomis, I’d like to think that as well, but honestly, close to half of all the posts I’ve ever put up were deleted by the mods. Apparently, some of my views are (as one poster said a few weeks ago) borderline Reform…it’s quite silly.
I think I’ve also been called Reform on here… Join the club. (FTR, I consider myself BY-ish)
m in Israel, I’m officially joining your comment fan club.
When you see a RedNails20, chances are its her…
This has bothered me in the past. Committing suicide is dependent on mental health, but what about “Hamalbin pnei chaveiro…”
bomb, I never said he had a “mainstream” (to use your word) mental illness. I know very little about mental illness (of any kind) but I would think an murderer would fit the profile of someone who is mentally ill = mental illness. A person is naturally healthy or sick. There are different levels of sick, but someone sick is not a healthy person. This is just a matter of wording though.
(FYI, I read somewhere that he was in an accident as a child and since then there were some issues.)
