Confuzzled and Invaded

Okay, granted I'm really not that old to even consider myself as one lacking experience or what have you, but recently, I've realized I'm not like girls my age. I turned 18 a while ago, and I find it kinda depressing that little girls young as (gag) 10-11 are having/getting dates on an easy whim.

Is there something wrong with me? And I'm working on the whole getting a car problem (I take the city bus everywhere), but I mostly spend my time either studying or in training.

Is there any advice you could give me in "seeking" guys without downgrading myself to horrible online personal ads?

Thanks!

Dear Lizzy,

My partner and I moved into a new house last November, and are recently having some neighbor trouble. They have several children who run rampant through our yard and garden, now that it's spring. They play ball across our yard, and rip through my roses getting the ball, for instance. They have a nice big backyard, and no real reason to be tearing up our flower beds. Yesterday my partner caught one of the boys kicking my plants to smithereens.

I think we need to go talk to the kids' parents, before things get any worse. The children are probably aged 5-9. There are several of them. My partner says if we go to the parents, we'll wind up with hostile neighbors because no one likes having their parenting style criticised. I don't want to call into question their parenting, I just want their kids to stop tearing up the landscaping I'm putting so much work into.

Can you give us a few other ideas on how to handle this? I'm very new to it. Thanks so much.
