However although a 16 year old is naive in many ways you would struggle to find many who feel running away to marry an ISIS freedom fighter who openly wish to attack the country you lived in and therefore by association hundreds of people you know is a good life plan.Comment

It's only one plane flight that can be booked online, grab a bag and go. I'm sure it's not hard to convince a 16 year old how much fun it would be. Almost like a holiday.
That's why they're still kids, they don't have the life experience in order to know exactly what's going to happen.
Hell, when I was 16 I thought I was the dogs bollocks and nothing would ever happen. I'd never get fat and lose my hair. Well, lesson learned.Last edited by Malcolm Buggeridge; 12 August 2016, 18:36.Comment

Can't claim to be ignorant of the consequences if you are/were a 'straight A student' as is reported. Sympathy? Nah, I'll save that for deserving causesI get up...Comment

I remember going to a wedding where there was a kids table in an alcove and the kids were basically left to it with two adult male chaperones.
It started with the older girls but within 20 minutes every kid over 10 was looking after a younger kid.
Then half an hour later every kid over 6 was looking after or more likely trying to look after a kid younger than themselves.
I only looked in because the guys couldn't cope and one came out looking visibly distressed. The younger kids where running around with their carer(s) trying to get them to eat and drink."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I wanna talk to him. I wanna try to talk some sense to him -- tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I gotta live with that.Comment

There was a young girl called Sultana
Who thought that IS was nirvana
But that was just shyte
And so leave! She just might
Till the Russians turned up and napalmed herComment

I'm not very impressed by many on this thread.
The young girl was 16, she was naive and impressionable, as I was at that age.
My mistakes were not as large or as fatal, and I'm saddened that there are many on this forum who are happy to say 'good riddance' to such a young life.
