Even the question of "is CF contagious?" has to be asked at somepoint (as Julie said). I entirely agree. I'm sure I've asked blatantly obvious questions before.

But I have to agree with Coll here. Why not research CF a little first before coming to us? Are we everyone's personal medical dictionary? I think us being able to inform people on almost everything is an excellent idea. But finding out something as simple as how one "contracts" it, and what it generally affects (i.e. respiratory and digestive systems) can be done quite easily by yourself.

Now that that's been said, to the original poster: Your question has been answered now regardless. If you have any other questions, definitely feel free to ask them. Maybe just try researching a little bit before you come to other people and depend on us for basic factual information that can easily be found if you try looking even just a little.

Finally, as far as Brandi goes, even the "immature cute and funny" comment I don't think was intended to come off rudely. It looked just like a little *wink* type ha-ha. She never said "you can't get CF sexually" or any other comment about CF, really. It was just a cute remark about cooties, which I found amusing. Even if it did get interpreted in a negative manner, that's not how she meant it. And she apologized. <img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">

Coll,
I understand what you are saying, but what if someone doesn't even know what genetic means? You seem very mature for your 15 years, but what about somebody your age or even younger who isn't that mature, doesn't read a lot, doesn't know what that means? The person just said "how is it spread" that is all.

One other question, forgot to ask...
Lilstrawberryshortness, is the post at the top of this page,

"your just saying that to try and sound nice...if people didnt say anything youd still be calling me immature and that i think its funny...sorry you sound so fake to me now... "
AND
"and i sure as hell wasnt trying to discriminate the bf who was wondering..its fine he asked...i was just trying to tell him he cant catch anything..only cooties...so...take a chill pill will ya'? "

Addressed to me? If so, I wasn't the one who called you immature, I always sign my name at the end of my post. If it was, please make sure you are addressing the correct people before you try to rip someone a new one.

And just for the sake of it, imagine you didn't have CF and new nothing about it...and you fell in love with someone who had it. YOu are new in the relationship and not to the "ask a million questions about eachother" part yet. You'd probably be a little embarassed, feel a little stupid and never want to come back to this site if someone made comments like you made, after you asked what you thought was a legitimate and serious question. You, obviously don't see that the comment you made could have been concieved as hurtful to someone who is probably very VUNERABLE in asking that question, which is why we are all entitled to have our own opinions- the world wouldn't function without it. But next time, maybe you can make your comments towards those people that come on this site asking "i am doing a research project on CF and want to know what you life is like" or BS like that.

Yeah, I agree with Julie, what if someone made fun of you, or made some funny comment because of this question you asked on the YOUNG ADULTS site. Put yourself in someone elses shoes for a change and grow up.

Thanks for the compliment Julie. I think CF tends to mature people emotionally in a way. Something about growing up with it. Here's a semi random thought, but since you mentioned always signing your name- why not register? You certainly contribute a lot to the forum, and it seems to be something you check often. Just curiousity on my part. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

In defense of the original poster, he never implied that CF was contagious at all....in actuality one could say that CF is "spread" when 2 people, who are both carriers, have a child, blah, blah, blah....)

You are 14. The last time I checked, 14 year olds still made cootie jokes at times. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Brandi, there isn't a need to apologize to me. I remember what it was like to be 14, I'm not too far past it now. I was just trying to bring to light how this might make someone else feel if this is a new and vunerable time for them. And my post on the first page wasn't directed to only you, there were 1 or 2 posts before yours that could have been condescending to someone who has no idea about CF and is looking for guidance.
I agree with those last few posts, don't be so hard on yourself. You are young and deserve to have fun, its just about the appropriate time and you can only learn as you go. I don't think you intended to be rude or mean to this person, but if I were them I might have felt very intimidated some of the stuff posted to my question and thats all I was trying to say.

Don't take it so hard.
