Today, I found out my boyfriend had his phone taken away by his dad for this past week. I have been sending him naked photos and other naughty things this entire week, or so I thought. FML

if you and your boyfriend are of the age where one's phone might be taken away, you shouldn't be sexting.

i mean like why didnt she know??

*facepalm* Somebody else will have to explain this one. If I try, the results won't be pretty; my tolerance for thick-skullery is running dangerously low. -.- I suppose I need a few more days to recover from reading that "COLLEGE SCHOOL!" thread. My poor brain cells did have a near-death experience, after all.

Oh, that "College School" thing was funny.

You are my absolute favorite! Your responses are always great!

I meant that for Jane, first time I've read Natalee...

I don't get why you're annoyed Jane, that's a legit question. So the bfs phone is taken away, that doesn't mean that it's impossible to get in touch w/ the gf. If I had my cell taken away and had a gf to call (/sadface) I'd simply pick up the land line..., or skype, aim, smoke signals, or just get in my car. Forgive me if I'm just completely oblivious to some detail.

Thanks, Honesty. 147: Unfortunately for you, a good night's rest didn't restore my usually helpful attitude. I'm not explaining myself this time; you'll have to figure it out another way. I'll give you a sympathy hint, though: read natilie's original comment again.

Disregarding everything up to "If hes your boyfriend, wouldn't you know if he got his phone taken away or not," and assuming that the OP had zero contact with her boyfriend for an entire week yet continued to sext, I still don't see anything about her question that is 'really obvious.' Everything that I can possibly think of, I've already addressed in my previous comment. Again, feel free to flame me into oblivion if I'm wrong, but please, enlighten me.

I think what IrishJane is trying to say is that obviously Op DIDN'T know her boyfriend had his phone taken away, for whatever reason. Maybe he was grounded or something too and couldn't leave the house. The point is Op said that she didn't realize his phone had been taken away, thus making the question "Wouldn't you know if he had his phone taken away?" completely idiotic because Op didn't know his dad had his phone.

...That's completely obvious, hence the question. It's not idiotic at all. Let me rephrase her question for you, so you can understand what I've been trying to explain for several posts now. If YOUR boyfriend had his phone taken away, even if it wasn't a week like in OP's case, wouldn't you be notified one way or another and therefore KNOW? Making the question "wouldn't you know if he had his phone taken away" perfectly valid.

I think Irish's original point that, in a week, the OP should have had an actual conversation with her boyfriend, at some point during which the chances are he'd have mentioned that he'd had his phone taken away. The fact that the OP sent those pictures without any other communication with her bf seems a little.. weird.

Lol what point, she simply bashed on Natilie w/o any real explanation. I also made that point in my original comment and she still cryptically and smugly responded with her 'sympathy hint.' So that's obviously not it.

Well, she implies that the question 'wouldn't you know if he'd had his phone taken away?' has a really obvious answer. Either she meant it's obvious the gf should know, or that it's obvious the OP didn't know as she states as much in the fml.

Again, if it was just that 'it's obvious the gf should know,' then this would have ended at my first comment. So it can't be that and the latter part doesn't really make sense. The fact that she didn't know that his phone was taken away is a key detail, and it wouldn't be an FML w/o it. Also, Natilie said "wouldn't" which implies an objective opinion about reality. If she said "didn't" instead, then it would make sense to berate her. I just believe that Jane's comment was completely unnecessary.

Maybe I'm just being biased, and I apologise if I am, but we're all prone to the occaisional failure. However, I'll explain the last part of my comment: Natalie asks 'wouldn't you know if your bf got his phone taken away or not'. The OP states in the FML that she clearly didn't. Maybe it was the objection to asking a question that already has an answer. However, maybe Natalie meant to ask why the OP didn't check and just phrased it badly? Hope that cleared it up.

I just have a serious problem with people that act all high and mighty. I swear, many of the "intelligent" posters are all just on an ego trip, they're just trying to say something more clever than the previous person and can become quite insulting in the process. No one deserves to be made a fool of or berated (unless they have it coming) on this ENTERTAINMENT site. How about a little empathy and respect.

Well there is that, and I understand where you're coming from. I know I try and keep it at least polite (if not friendly) with people on this site. But when you've been told to piss off a few times (sometimes just because your comment is "too long", or not even that), you kinda forget about the politeness.

wow you need to stop trying to sound smart and stop commenting on posts

There's about three or so comments above that mention that the op is probably too young to be sexting. Is there an 'approved age' range for sexting? Gah, think about what you've done when you helped gramps send photos with his new cell phone! Shame on you.

I agree with boopity. You need to comment more often. :]

As long as I enjoy it I probably will. :)

There is no approved age for sexting because possession of lewd pictures of minors is illegal at any age in every state. There are also laws currently in legislation that would make the act of sexting a misdemeanor for minors.

In most jurisdictions you'd have to be over 18, but that can vary dramatically from where it's illegal to possess **** at all, down to those that have a lower age limit. 18 would be generally the youngest though. Frankly it's not the brightest thing to do in the first place though.
