I think AliceE is totally right. That is certainly the problem...
But I think, the sooner you let your children go the sooner they come back to you.
Maybe it would be good for our relationship if my father supports all my dreams, but I don't think he will like them... Well, some, but surely not all^^

I can understand, that he is a little bit afraid, but there are programs to join, which help you with your schoolyear in the USA, exchange or something else like this. And you can still have contact to your family and break up if it gets too hard for you.
And if something happens to you, your father is still responsible for you or has to make decisions about what the medicines do to you.
He can give the responsibility to your guest parents but he need'nt.
And in Germany can also happen bad things. I know that no one wants to think about such things but it's the truth.

But maybe he is afraid, that the family is very bad and maybe someone touches or rapes you. This is one big fear of fathers and I understand it.
My father isn't so much afraid, because I did karate for 7 and a half years and he knows that I would go to the police and break up immediately.
I don't want to say, that you wouldn't do this, but maybe your father is more afraid than mine.

Wow, I'm really a little psychologist. Mayb I should become something like Dr. Sommer xD

You are a really good psychologist , but please don't become somthing like Dr. Sommer... XDD

I think, that he doesn't want me to leave, now, because I'm sooo young and naive. I'm sure, he knows that in Germany happens as many dangerous and bad things than in the USA (well, actually I think the USA is a bit mor dangerous in some regions because off terrorism^^). I think, it's just the fact that I want to go so early and he can't protect me anymore. He always says you can do all this stuff later...

I don't know how old you are or how naive or responsible for yourself you could be. I want to do all this after my Abitur, because then I have an education and I will be 19 then.

Another aspect could be, that he knows that bad things can also happen in our country but when it happens in the USA it takes him a lot of time to go there, to help you or decide something if needed, because of an accident or something.
Here it is easier for him to protect you etc.

Did you talk with him about what he's afraid of? Maybe you will understand him and decide for yourself that you want to wait. I think you feel when you are ready for this. I'm still afraid of leaving, although I want this, because I will miss everyone so much and I fear that I may loose contact to some of my friends.

And I promise that I won't become the next Dr. Sommer xD

I don't wanna do Au-Pair or go to an american university... I wanna go to an US High-School and for doing that you have to be between 15 and 18... So I can't do it after my Abitur.

I just got my invitation for the selectiontalks on the 28th of October. I have to bring one subject that discribes Germany or my region (Rheinland-Pfalz) and one that discribes me... That's difficult^^ Maybe I choose a grape for RLP and for me... I don't know...


Now I can sleep well again...^^ But I think you don't want to answer questions like "I kissed my boyfriend. Am I pregnant?" So this job would't be the right one for you

Erstellt am 18.10.2007 - 16:33

No I don't really want to do this. But it could be very funny. I've read a question of a girl, which asked if she was pregnant because she kissed her bird. xD

And yeah, if you wanna go to high school you can't do it later, I see. But maybe you'll get the scolarship and have the posibilty to do this. I wish that you may do this. I really hope for you...

Thanks. I really need every support I can get... Only two days till the big day^^ I really hope I have a chance to get the scolarship.
I have no idea which subject I should choose to discribe Germany or my region in another country the best... I think of sth that has to do with our past/our origion, because thats sth the americans don't have (my sister told me they distroyed "buildings" of the Indians). We have buildings of the romans and stuff like that, but I don't know what I should bring...^^

Yeah, some teenagers asks really stupid questions, but I think some of the are fictional. It's all PR (does this word exist in english???)

Erstellt am 29.10.2007 - 07:39

I think PR works because it stands for "Public Relations" ^^

I think you can get the scholarship and maybe german history is a good subject when I think of statistics that say that over 60% of the american population still think that Hitler is alive and rules over Germany ô.O

And I really think that Germany has a lot of history. The Romans where here, later after Hitler ruled here, our land was divided into some parts and fragmented to France, England, Spain etc. So we have sometimes old buildings of this nations...

Spain?? That's something new to me^^
After the second world war Germany was devided up into four pieces: Russia, France, England and America. My region was first in the american zone. Later they swapped "us" with Württemberg and we were under the frensh domination... I visited today the airport "Hahn" and heard some of its history^^
Besides in Rheinland-Pfalz are still some cities, that are very good guarded and enclosed by fences...^^ (the american girls play very unfair soccer^^ )

Yes, I should have chosen sth that shows the german history, but it's very hard to find a subject for that^^ I chose beer , because it really is a part of our culture... you find it nearly everywhere^^

Erstellt am 29.10.2007 - 20:33

Yes but I think Spain was earlier.
Because we once belonged to Spain and later to England.

That makes me think about my ancestors. Because one of them came from Spain and the mother of my granma's mother (I don't know the englisch expression for this. I hope you understand xD) was 100% French. And the parent of my grandfather were gypsys. Not 100% but they were. Crazy, isn't it?^^

And yes I think beer is an interesting thing. I think germans drink a lot of beer.
Maybe Bread? Because in no other country you have so many sorts of bread....ok forget it. I'm not serious It just came to my mind at the moment. I'm a very strange person....
