Hang Out and Post

[Spritzie]

Same here Theresa. I didn't meet him until I was 23.

[Unstream]

CAV2, according to your profile, you're only 13.

 

Don't sweat it dude, you've got plenty of time.

[Captain Awesome Pants]

And plus dude, at that age, dating ain't worth it. It'll only end in stupid heartache.

[Honeycrisp]

Yeah, I'm 19 and though I love many many boys, I don't want to date. What a hassle to go through when I don't have the time right now to make anything work out. But everyone has a someone out there.

[Theresa2]

CAV2 take your time your yung yet trust me you will met somone and tottaliy know you mean Spritzie about waiting for the right person I had to go though a devorce for me to meet my guy and sometimes I wish I would have meet him frist intead of going thou this crazy stuff Iam know going thou so take your time a chose wisely CAV2

[Spritzie]

I hear you on that. Shortly before I met him, I went through a bunch of crap with a guy that wasn't even worth the time. But now I'm happily married to the right one. We've been married for 8 months now. :)

[Theresa2]

[Nyssa]

Ahaha, sports are totally boring.

 

And by the way, I'm 19. I've never had a boyfriend and this year the only reason I had a semi-valentine was because I bribed a guy by making pie. It's majorly depressing. Plus, I have a friend whose birthday is on Valentine's Day and she hates it so I usually don't celebrate. It's kinda a dumb holiday because love should be celebrated EVERY day. Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love. Please tell me you know that movie.

 

I love Moulin Rouge.. one of my favorite movies ever.

 

And I still think Valentines Day is nice, because sometimes you just forget, or you don't have a lot of time to honour the person of your affection. I mean, you can do whatever you want, you don't HAVE to make a big deal out of it. Me and my boyfriend just went out to dinner and gave a small present to eachother. I love that.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Yes, but when your in a middle school were everything has to do with pimps, making out, and thoughts of sex, what are you suppose to do when your the only kid that hasn't even been hugged by someone?

[Spritzie]

Been there CAV. Same with HS. I hung out constantly with 2 girls. One, more tom-boyish that me, had a bf that year. And the other... she wasn't that interested in guys...... enough said on that. I was the only one. But I got used to it. It stopped bothering me. I had health issues to deal with, so that put it out of my mind. Until I saw couples at the mall. Then I was bummed. But he was worth the wait. :)

[Swim freak]

im on the same page now in middle school, had one boyfriend who was a complete jerk, but im doing pretty well :) eventually you will find someone.

[Spritzie]

Not very many in my group of friends in middle school dated, but most were very interested in it. I was too heavily involved in band. By 8th grade, I had band for both my electives. I was on the Yearbook staff. Then by HS, where dating was a much bigger deal, I was dealing with other things.

 

But it ended up being a good thing. I saved myself a lot of heart-break that way.

[Unstream]

In my opinion, relationships are like sprinkles on a cupcake. Friendships are the icing and education is the actual cake. Make sure you have more of those things, since they're more important and longer lasting :yes:

 

This applies for middle/high school people, of course :P

[CAV of Gang Green]

My school has none of those activities. Yes, I know, my school sucks and I can't wait to get out.

[Stephé]

Ah, high school feels so different. *breathes in bad deodorant filled air*

 

Haha, I just came back from a school camp. :P It wasn't as fun as I expected (thanks to some personal issues), however I did have a bit of fun taking some little insight to the year 13 camp leaders who were looking after us, and just mingling around with some new people.

 

It feels kind of awkward entering high school, probably one of the biggest steps when it comes to making the biggest decisions... although I shouldn't really be explaining this since most of you guys have already gone through the feeling. :P

 

Most entertaining part would probably have to be the senior girls and some junior girls gossiping in my cabin who were talking all about the year 9 and social and 'hot' guys. :P (I was pretending to be asleep xD) To be honest, I'm more of a 'look from a distance about all that relationship stuff' kind of person, although one of my friends (who is very nice) secretly (although its pretty obvious) likes this somehow cute looking guy, haha. I might help her out with that. XD

 

I am so going to eat that cake Will. :P *has applied for 4 out of 7 school councils this year*

Although I'm not sure if I'll get a stomach ache at the end from all that 'cake'. XP

[Theresa2]

CAV2 just tell them you waiting for the right person so share your afections with and thats the best why it is in this day in age with all those virusus going on

[CAV of Gang Green]

At that point, people begin to call you gay.

 

...and other terms not allowed on TDN.

[Stephé]

I wish I could help with your experience CAV. :/ People have a choice whether or not they wish to start dating and stuff like that, there's nothing wrong with waiting around for the right time. ^^

 

Yes, but when your in a middle school were everything has to do with pimps, making out, and thoughts of sex, what are you suppose to do when your the only kid that hasn't even been hugged by someone?

 

Well, should you be pressured into following those sorts of things? Right now, you have a whole lot of choice and freedom as a kid, use it by making the right choices and not doing anything you'll regret. It must be hard avoiding that 'crowd' who are hassling you, but to be honest, I think that most of them are insecure themselves.

 

My school has none of those activities. Yes, I know, my school sucks and I can't wait to get out.

 

School is a place for learning. Hard to believe when you're around a difficult group of people, but most of the time you should take the chance of having an education with both hands, it'll be worth it in the end. :)

Now, no one ever cruises through school like every thing's perfect for them, but keep your mind open for the times ahead.

[Unstream]

Dude really, you just need to care less.

 

Honestly, five years from now, none of this will matter. You'll be going to college or getting a job by then, and you probably won't see any of your friends again. And unless you're very likely, you won't have a romantic relationship by then either. You may never see any of the people in your school again after then.

 

Keep that in mind, because it's important to keep your priorities set in order. It's the truth, though a frank one that not many people in school like to face.

Always remember what's important at this point in life, and that's your education and preparing yourself for your future. Relationships don't matter. Being called gay or whatever doesn't matter.

[Captain Awesome Pants]

CAV. Don't even start about being called gay and stuff when I'm around. Because has it even happened to you?

 

Most of my school thinks I'm a lesbian. Every day is annoying because people comment on it. I've had people come up to me and ask me to my face if I was really gay.

 

And it's got nothing to do with me being in a relationship or not. People will think what they think, regardless of your relationship status.

[Tyler.]

It has happened to me to, I admittedly cannot stand the people in my school, their minds all are messed up.

[Swim freak]

CAV what you should do is just focus on your school work and forget all the mean people. In a couple of years when you have a really good job and a relationship that's even better than one would of had in middle school or high school you'll be really happy. You just have to wait for that time to come.

[Honeycrisp]

Agreed. Patience is key. In school I was always in the shadows of my more popular and outgoing friends. But now I'm in college and good things are coming to me. :)

[CAV of Gang Green]

I feel whiny talking about this stuff.

[Captain Awesome Pants]

So then change the subject. That's what I do. It's been working for me since we started the HOP.
