Yeah. Don't think about it that way. If you do then you'll never get married .
          But it's a good thing that you are opening your mind to it.
          When I turn 19 that's when I will open my mind to it.
          I feel sorry for those girls that never get any offers and they want to get married:(

Yeah, I don't really know what to think.
          
          I'm just praying that everything turns out ok, because if I get married and the guy is s h i t....I'd seriously run away, from everything.

          She's pretty wise on these things.
          
          She also had a dysfunctional family too.
          
          She also warned Bashars mom when she was a kid and in high school to watch out for her. She might do something in the future. 

WOW. Amazing that your mother knew that before either of us did lol. I guess people aren't oblivious to how dysfunctional our family is.

@FatimaB Yeah that is good 
          
          Keep your options open.
          
          I'll always be here if you need me.
          
          Getting married seems like a good idea.
          
          Back when I was 13 my mom used to always tell me that you would probably get married so you would get away from your family. 
          

Idk.
          
          But after thinking about, I think the smart thing to do would be to wait. Get a summer job if fin aid doesn't pay for summer quarter. Go to Hajj and then Iraq in the fall - come back here and then try to get married to a nice guy. Hopefully that will work out for me.
          
          If the marriage option doesn't work.....then I'll run away lol.

Ask first.
          
          How long do you plan to run away for?

Actually I was thinking about doing it without telling anyone - just leaving a note. 
          
          Wish I could tell Mom and have her be ok with it. Unfortunately, she wouldn't understand.
          

@FatimaB 
          
          Thanks that what I kind of wanted.
          
          It's because of the last name:)
          
          
          If your going to, be smart about it.
          
          Tell your mom that you need to get away for a couple days.
          
          And then come to my house. 
          
          You can stay as long as you want.

What would you say if I told you I was planning to run away this coming weekend?
