    This is cute, but may lead to trouble…I recently sat on a jury in a felony rape case where the purp claimed he had “Consent” because of the texts (over 3000 of them, some of them explicit) he and the victim had exchanged. This guy was a hunk, the girl a cutie, but the end result wasn’t happy at all. Watch out, kids!

    I really don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Till 8k miles away becomes 0, I think we’re good.

    I bet Quill’s parents are thinking the same thing with a girl in their son’s room. (@Spazoid: I used to do Y! IM as well with a girl from Hawaii while I was here in Washington State.)

    None of this applied when I was young, but trust me, my mom totally had the last say on who I hung out with and what I wore. She was never physical, but I definitely feared that woman and wouldn’t go behind her back. Parents have it so much harder now with the technology, but I think it’s good that they are addressing the issue right away. At least they are there and concerned about what their teenage daughter is doing. I know a lot of single women who are “best friends” with their teenage daughters and I think it’s much more important to guide than to be best friends and share clothes. Yes, I know that I am about to be crucified. Bring it on, just know that I will not play with you and lambasting me will only result in your venting because I will not answer you, it’s just my opinion.

    8000 miles? The direct route would be a bit of a bore. Most of us would settle for a slightly longer one, say a few thousand feet above the ground…

    Ummm, Quill, is it a good idea to argue with the girl’s dad? But, here’s a thought…Dad doesn’t like “a boy in the room”, Luann goes to sit in the kitchen. But, I’m with Mrs. D, although when she says “can’t”, does she mean “forbidden” or just “not a wise choice”?

    Would it be OK if it were a phone call? Quill and Luann spent lots of time in her room together, alone, doing songwriting. What’s the difference here? It’s not like this is some unknown stranger she met in a chat room… it’s Quill, for Mogg’s sake. I think the DeGroots need to lighten up.

    Part of the problem is that Nancy and Frank think 11:30 is too late for Luann to be awake and “playing” on school nights. I think after a moment they will acknowledge that Quill is not in the room, though they may still be uneasy over the potential degree of intimacy that could occur (sexting). Will they cut Luann off from Quill completely? I think not, but they may impose some restrictions on future calls.

    I think it meant: “minimum 6 inches between you at all times.”.….and in the late ’60’s, our school had a VP who gave out detentions if you so much as held hands with your GF/BF on the way to and from school! He even sent out teachers on patrol around the neighbourhood at lunch time. Still didn’t prevent pregnancies, of course.

    …don’t know what their problem is – if her boyfriend is 8000 miles away, it eliminates a LOT of consequences…it may open up some other can of worms, but it won’t include pregnancy or STD’s or physical domestic violence….

    Fact is that Luann is underage and Quill (assuming he’s older) could be labeled a sexual predator if he’s not careful. But if everything is innocent it’s okay. Everything is being monitored and they should know that – especially overseas communications of ANY kind.

    @vegasgirl – you have the right sow by the ear. My mother was my very good friend after I was an adult, and my daughter, now an adult, is now a very good friend. What children need is parents, and adults need to see that they get that. It’s not as if it takes a long time for them to grow up – those eighteen years or so just flash by …

    Sadly, too many do. The mom who forces her daughter to compete in beauty contests, or the ex-jock dad pushing his son to out-do him in sports, etc.^^My Dad tried to do that to me, only to find out that I was less than an athlete; later I found that I loved to play hockey and I wasn’t bad at it, but, I only played for fun, no organized sports for me. (I wish I could still play, but, there’s no way I could with my bad back)

    Well, back in the ‘day’ MOST chicks I knew dug the guy that played the guitar. Maybe ole Franko played a cool Fender Stratocaster or something.

    Personally, I think Nancy just took pity on Frank.,,,,Especially after her third boyfriend “Mysteriously” died…..,

    Honestly, I think a majority of teenagers probably have trouble falling asleep before 2am. Something to do with all the chemical & physical changes in their bodies. Which is why they wind up half-asleep in class and sleep all weekend.
