High School & Love? Never a good combination..

as if high school isn't already the worst three years of your life, everyone wants to have a boyfriend, or girlfriend too. it's never a good idea to mix raging hormnones and emotional attachment. girls, GUYS ARE HORNY! that is, and always will be, true. i'm sorry, i am just as sad about it as the next girl, but it's unavoidable. sure, there are a few good guys out there that are respectful, but it's generally a hit and miss situation. most guys claim to know what respect means, but they usually don't... because so many guys think that you can still have sex with a girl they are not married to, and never plan to marry, and respect her at the same time... this, girls, is not true. any guy that has respect for you will understand that he has to keep his hands off for a couple years while he gets over his hormones and figures out the difference between love and lust. now boys, GIRLS WILL GET ATTACHED IF YOU GIVE THEM A REASON TO!!! don't play games! tell her how you REALLY feel! cut the bull crap. girls are a lot tougher than you think, we can handle it, so give us the dirty truth. most of us subconsciously know that you're using us, we just refuse to believe it unless the words come from your mouth. so spit it out so that we can move on to a guy who gives a crap. it will save you a lot of grief. so don't blame the girl for getting the wrong idea, because, lets be honest, you know exactly what you're doing, and you enjoy it. otherwise, you would cut to the chase. so, boys and girls, you may think you're in love after the first date or, in this day and age, the first "hang out," because nobody really goes on dates anymore, but take a minute to analyze the situation and figure out whether you really want to get involved or not. better yet, wait till after high school when it really starts to matter!!!! don't fall in love with a high school student.

Hold On To People You Love

People always say, "I miss you, we need to get together soon!" But unfortunately, we rarely make time to catch up with old friends. I am guilty of it just as much as the next girl, but I've decided that I am not going to do this anymore. I'm not going to watch my friendships slip from my grasp because I am too caught up in work, school, or whatever other excuses I may make. NOTHING is more important than someone who has been there through the thick and the thin. If you have nothing in common with a person anymore, create something. If you don't like the friends they hang out with, ignore them. If you don't have time in your day, find some. Don't spend your whole life making empty promises to people who care about you, because you never know how much of an affect you could have on someone. Don't fill your life with regrets because you didn't stop and talk to someone for thirty seconds when you saw them at the mall. It's as simple as that. Be proactive and make a difference in a seemingly-stranger's life. In the blink of an eye, your entire world can change. You could lose the girl, or boy, that you grew up with. You could find yourself wondering when the last time was that you saw your best friend. I don't like to admit it, but I've screwed up one-too-many times when it comes to making time for the people that mean the most to me. I've loved and I've lost and I've found this to be true: the hardest thing to live with is knowing that you could have done something, but you didn't. And I could have done so little as turned around and walked back into the nail salon to say, "Hi," to my best friend that I hadn't seen in a while. I replay myself over and over again walking away from someone that I, soon after, lost. Don't let that be you. Don't be the kind of friend that, even though your friend called you to say that she saw you at Walmart two seconds ago, keeps walking because you have more important things to do than talk. Turn around, go say, "Hello," before it's too late... and you can't change your reaction. Get your priorities straight because if you don't do it now, you never will. Friends, family, neighbors, they ALL matter, no matter how much you think they don't. They're the ones that are going to be there when you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend anymore. They'll be there when you lose your job and suddenly have time for everyone again. They'll be there when you lose someone you love and you don't want to get out of bed anymore. I've learned, in the past three months, that people are pretty decent sometimes. They care about what happens to others, even if they don't necessarily show it often. Be someone who cares.
