As soon as the middle school season ends he transfers to the high school team. I hope that doesn't mean the high school student problems start. I'm not liking the 8th grade stuff so far...
 
It's scary for sure! 8th grade was crapy for my daughter but this year seems to be going ok! Just praying a lot! There's so much that happens/can happen in high school!

Most of it is other kids that are dabbling in drugs/alcohol already, and I'm finding them texting stuff to him. So far I haven't seen him respond to those people with approval, so...

I guess this week is like the last two.
 
One of my friends got pregnant in 8th grade and now she has a 20 year old.
 
At least she can empty the nest at an early time though. lol

I saw a girl I went to elementary school with at the gym a few weeks ago. If I remember clearly, she had her first kid at 12. I couldn't imagine having to raise a kid and being a kid yourself.

A 12 yo is by no means ready to handle the task of teaching/preparing an infant for life.
 
I understood this happening back in the 1920-40's especially in the rural south. Hard to understand how that can even happen in the past 30 years. Once AIDS was discovered you'd think a little common sense would prevail.
Thing for parents to do in today's society is to be open about talking about sex and the consequences of it. How easy it is to get protection etc.
I'm glad Cameron understood and didn't get caught up in anything. All you can do is teach, hope, and pray...lol

That your son? that is my son's name too...

And we all know what you are going through Reg, and will be going through trust me on that....
 
Yeah mine has been telling me about the offers/availability! I'm so thankful she's pretty open about it all! I'm sure there's plenty I don't know but thankful for what I do know! She seems to have a good head on her shoulders so far! Like Brian said, all we can do is teach, hope, and pray!! He's lucky to have you raising him and caring so much!!


I know even at 18- I was no where near ready to raise a child! I was 17 when I got pregnant and that was one of the hardest emotional times I went through- only by Gods grace did everything turn out as well as it did! I believe it actually saved me from screwing up my life real bad!

The mind has a way to stop the body and force it to rest and recover. Take it to mean you are growing new muscle!
 
That's ok Thomas, when you do get back to the gym it'll just mean more PR's.
Yes, it's a lifestyle. But remember you are not in a comp prep or getting ready for a show. Life things do take priority including your own health! Hard to remember sometimes...
 
Thanks guys. I know I'll get back into it regularly soon.

They felt heavy today, but I guess that's expected because I've squatted only twice in 3+ weeks. I chose not to test my max.
 
Looked great to me! Glad you were able to go! I need you to come teach the guys at my gym how to squat! Even with 1-2 plates! Your progress has just been phenomenal!!

Ha. I always have the volume down. There was a super hot chick doing sldl's and this guy wouldn't leave her alone. After about 15 minutes she just walked away to the opposite side of the gym.
