I was... 16? Yeah, 16.. I was in High School, in the 11th grade. My little group of female friends had just fallen apart and I suddenly found myself with all male friends.. Was falling head over heels for one of said male friends (who I would spend the next nearly 4 years being hopelessly devoted to, even though he was a... *ahem*..). Oh, I had a boyfriend, though.. He was terrible. He used to drink and drive, dropped out of high school that year.. He pushed me down the outside cement stairs one time, then threatened to kill himself if I broke up with him.. Yuck, I haven't thought about him in a while.. He's married now, with a baby on the way. Apparently he is nicer now. If that was 1999, I got IBS is 1992 so I had it.. it was just 'in remission', I think. I'd get belly aches every so often, but nothing like I am now. I went on birth control that year (to stabilize my period), my mom thought I was having s-e-x and tore my room apart, looking for stuff. I wasn't, she didn't find anything.. I was still no longer allowed to hang out in a room alone with my male friends. My sister was pregnant, but had to deliver the baby stillborn.. on Valentine's Day. My grandpa died the same day. I don't do Valentine's Day anymore, until this year when I decided to try.. and was throwing up all day for no apparent reason so I am back off of it. That's it! --Steph
