My father's parents are... frustrating.

His mother fell over on Tuesday and broke her hip. She's had a partial hip replacement.

His father called to tell him this yesterday (Friday). Apparently they tried to call his youngest brother on Tuesday, but he's changed his number, so he did nothing till now.

We have a strained relationship with them in any case. They are hard, fairly solitary people, very stuck in their ways. We don't have a lot of contact, which probably isn't good, but they're hard people to have contact with. They turned down an invitation to their oldest grandson's wedding (my older brother), the first of their grandchildren to get married.

I don't know how to feel about the whole situation. I hope she's well. I'm worried that when they pass, we're not going to find out until they've been buried.

I'm tired of being 16.

I'm tired of dealing with the same shallow friends over and over again. I'm tired of being a different person then who I want to be. Tired of parents, tired of dealing with boring parents' friends, tired of keeping all my emotions bottled in because I have noone to talk to.

I hate it. I hate it soo much.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

The greatest thing about being 16 is that eventually this whole situation passes.  Until you're 70.

You're gonna be the best college kid ever. I can't wait. You're so much smarter than I was when I was 16 (holy cow that was 4 years ago...)

I didn't much like being 16, either, 'Noke. I'm sorry. :(

In the meantime, we're rooting for you!

Oh boy what a cliffhanger! You have me hooked! Do I need to buy the book to find out what happens after 70? Please tell me! Feel free to spoil the ending! I NEED TO KNOW!

Yea, when I was 16 I didn't talk to anyone under 30 because I hated the immaturity of kids my age.

I was such a snob. Good times.
