So I'm back after about 2 weeks. I am 14 now but other than that not much else has changed. Over the past few weeks, I've started to realize how crazy some of my friends become over boys. Now yes I understand that most teenage girls go through this phase trust me I had mine for like a month but it never got as bad as some of the things I'm hearing from others.
Let me start off with this short story about my friend who just doesn't understand that her well being is way more important than a boy. Let's call her Veronica now I met Veronica at the beginning of this year she was new to my school. At first, I didn't expect much from her but as the year went on she became a train wreck. She is a really nice person but she just goes for any guy. There is another kid named lets call him Curtis, Veronica had a massive crush on Curtis. But Curtis is known as a player he's had intercourse and has it on multiple occasions. Veronica wanted him so badly she was willing to do anything and everything to get him. I warned her she was changing her whole personality just to get with him. But she brushed me off she said she felt something and that he always looks at her. She was making up her own version of reality where he liked her. She was making herself crazy for a dumb boy. In late December I saw something on her arms now I knew I had to investigate a bit. So when we were talking in the washroom I told her she has to lift her sleeves up or I need to go with my gut and talk to a teacher. I found out she was cutting when I asked her why her response was that she needed to know why he didn't like her she felt like she was slowly dying on the inside. I told the teacher and haven't heard from her since. Basically, she drove her self-crazy because of a boy. This has happened on multiple occasions with multiple girls.
My question is what happened to society to make girls feel like they need a boy to get through life. I have been assured that she is on the road to recovery. But most likely will not be returning to my school.
This is for any girls who feel useless, helpless or like they won't ever mean anything " You can do anything he did, even backwards plus you can do it in heals"
