Some fans have taken it upon themselves to do whatever they can to get to the guys. They harass and i have seen a real fight break out over which girl should get the guy. I can't stand all of this anymore. I want to start a club for mature fans of all ages. Meaning you have to respect the guys and not want to be the next girl in bed so you could have his baby. I think that that is the reason for all this nonsense. I hear some 12 and 11 year olds talking about wanting to have sex with the guys. Don't get me wrong every girl in her teens wants to have sex at one time but it should be for the right reasons. Yes it would be great to be in bed CUDDLING(not having sex) with one of the guys, but that won't happen for me. I live out in the middle of no where and the guys will never come here at all. I have no chance of ever meeting them but it will always be a dream of mine to meet them and tell them how much i respect them and love their music. It really touches my heart that they can write and sing songs as well as they do. Sex is something that you have when you are ready and in love. Not something you do because you just want a baby with a really hot singer or movie star. Just for once think of what your doing. Just stop and think "What if they where her watching me? Would they aprove? would they be doing this?" they are older and have the right to drink and do other things. Stop getting into their lives. They don't go around stealling our things and getting into our lives. If the guys read this thank you for the great music that touches my heart and so many others. Oh i'm a 16 yearold(Well on January 12th) and i know what it's like to be in love and what you feel for the guys is not love it is OBSESSION and you need to get with guys your own age and with people around you. Sorry this has been so long. I have a lot on my mind. School started yesterday and i saw the guy i really love today. The thing is he doesn't love me the way i do. Sorry many more times. ALWAYS KTBSPA!!!!! --*Lindsey*-- Submitted by Sylla from Seixal Lisbon Portugal Date: Thu Jan 6 20:10:58 2000 Well, what can I say?! I guess i never really tought about this and it's all right!! Maybe deep within our hearts we all know this to be true but sometimes we forget they're only human!!! I hope every fan get a chance to read this letter... i'm proud of the FAN that wrote this letter and I hope I all you agree with me. Love always, Submitted by R from JC Here Date: Thu Jan 6 19:55:08 2000 Hello!! Do we forget that they also get paid for this stuff. Although they do have a love for music, they do not do all of this "just for the fans'' They're doing what they've always wanted to do and making millions. They're life can't be that much tougher than the rest of ours. Submitted by Marie-Eve Landry from Métabetchouan québec canada Date: Thu Jan 6 19:38:08 2000 I agree with this...completely! I'm sure it is not easy for the bsb...stealing their things is not a way to show we love them.You are right about everything!!! Submitted by Sarah from Coldwater MI USA Date: Thu Jan 6 19:33:56 2000 Thank you Lori! I've also been thinking about this alot lately, and I completely agree with everything you said. They do so much, they deserve privacy, time, and respect. When I heard the boys were having their stuff stolen from fans, it really disappointed me. I KNOW Backstreet fans are better than this -- they have to be. So let's start treating them like real PEOPLE... not possesions. Show what it Really means to Keep The Backstreet PRIDE Alive.. Sarah Submitted by Lindsey from Plymouth USA Date: Thu Jan 6 19:07:30 2000 I would like to thank Lori for writing this article because like many other people out in the world, most of us just look at the guys as a band that loves doing what they do for a living. I personally have thought about what it must be like for the guys, reallly not having a personal but, that always happens when your in the lime light. I totally agree with Lori on her article. Just think about what the guys have to go through each tour show,TV show, and also when their at home. They need the respect from us fans whether we are yonger or older. Thanx Lori for writing this article. KTBSPA Submitted by Brianna Bliss from Victor NY U.S Date: Thu Jan 6 19:03:13 2000 Dear Lori Thompson, I would like to thank you for taking the time and pointing out all of the truth of "Being A Backstreet Boy". I have thought about it many times myself. Everytime I see them on a television show; Rosie, Regis and Kathy Lee,Good Morning America, the View etc. Or everytime I see a new video come out of theirs and I am always left in awe. Eachone become better and better. I am going to give this web site to like every newsletter that I am in so that all fans can get this perspective of what the five very talented guys do for us. As on leaving anything out, no you put everything in there. I wish that more "fans" were like you. I mean the guys love us, and we love them, but most people don't give them the respect they need. God Bless you too!! ~Brianna~ Submitted by Stephanie from Avon US Date: Thu Jan 6 18:58:50 2000 I totally agree with you Lori. It's much more important to respect them (you can still get close to them) than to trample them and make them not want to be a Backstreet Boy! Submitted by Jillian from Houston Texas USA Date: Thu Jan 6 18:03:37 2000 I think that Lori Thompson is an absolute genius for writing this article! It was so great! I must admit that I have never thought about what REALLY goes on and how much time it takes to be a Backstreet Boy. I have also NEVER stolen anything, mobbed anybody, or camped out where they're going to be. Even though I have never done those things, the article made me feel a little guilty. I'm so glad that I read the article, now I appreciate them more than I ever have! Thanks Lori! Submitted by Nicole from Newburgh USA Date: Thu Jan 6 17:55:21 2000 Hi, I think that was a beautiful article. I am 15 and I agree with everything that she said. I do appreciate everything that the guys do. I understand that they have no free time because of the music business, but everyone knows that we will never get everyone in this world, who feels the need to practically attack the guys, to stop. I wish we could. Honestly...if I were one of the Backstreet Boys I would have given up on this by now. There would be no way that I would stand for fans stealing from me, attacking me, or anything else. We are lucky that they are strong willed to put up with some of us. But, I don't think that the guys would mind if someone stopped them on the street to say hi and ask for an autograph. When they got into the music business they knew what would come with the territory. I just wish that people would respect them and make their life a whole lot easier. Wouldn't you want to make their lives better in return for what they've done to make your's better? Please write to me if you agree, I want to hear what everyone thinks too.
