why do i feel like the title of this thread is what the caption reads over this poor child's head?

ok seriously NatRae27 - why come to GC for relationship advice? i mean we'd give it to you but im wondering is this the first place you thought to run to? im so

No, actually this is the last place I thought to come to, I was just surfing and found this out of interest...and decided to post my problem just for the heck of it.

And we both just graduated high school this year, is it that big of a deal to refer to him as a kid? My goodness...people paid attention to that more than my actual issue.

And, it's not that I don't like the advice, I agree that I need to move on, I was simply hoping to find some people who could relate to me and tell me HOW they moved on, because I have problems doing so, I can't just drop my feelings for the guy, despite all he's done.

I don't want any of you to think I'm a rude person or anything, I'm actually very nice! Ha.. it's just that I feel like I have no one to turn to anymore because all my friends, who all have very successful, happy relationships of their own mind you, seem to not understand how I feel because they haven't been through anything like this. So they all just tell me to go and find someone else, as though I can just snap my fingers and forget about someone I like so much and find someone better...

Idk if that makes any sense but hopefully someone knows what I mean.

Do you plan on going to college? Believe me, once that gets started, you won't care about what happened in high school. You have plenty of time to move on.

NatRae27 · #5 07-23-2007, 05:26 PM

Yeah, I do plan on going to college. It can't come soon enough either!
I do feel like I'll be able to get my mind off him when college rolls around, too, so that will definitely be a good thing...

When you do go to college, get involved! Join clubs, make friends, and be serious about school. Shake off the drama of high school.

I have a question for all the regular GCers:

These new crop of kids poppin up in here left and right, they were born sometime between 1987-1991....

Like, I remember those years distinctly... Which I can accept makes me OLD

But are they a bunch of wussies cry baby wannabes massive MTV flux Oprahisms raised on too much Ritalin and never ass whooped for being bad?

I mean, like hayle, what do we really owe them because they choose not to understand? They are disrespectful, trite, mean-spirited, simple-minded and spoiled.

What is going to happen when the chit hits the fan about life and it ain't all what it is crapped up to be? Are they jumpers or injectors?

We are getting a lot of kids screaming in here and we are asked to congenial and nice and helpful. But there is some much stupidity, assininity and inanity I can take when I realize that we cannot do favors for the permenently impaired...

It isn't just this one, the kid that posted the dumb stuff on Greek Life, those that post the legitimacy of their drive by organizations based on poor research and gross assumptions.

I only ask because I am encountering these attitudes in the courses I teach at a large-scale University...

Please explain it to me: here or via PM?

I would like to think I am still "hip" in my own way...

Dude, I didn't know you teach at an university. I bet there's never a dull moment in class...

Why do you like this guy SOOO much? He doesn't seem to treasure you at all, and that makes me wonder about your self-esteem. At your age, you need someone who will respect you, want to spend time with you and someone who you can share experiences with--not the boy you described.

Holding yourself in the highest esteem is not conceited--as a young woman, think of yourself as a princess and that only a true prince will get your attention. This is especially important if you are going to go to college--you don't want to just going out with anyone who will treat you as this guy did, because that is how reputations are formed.

I say spend some time getting to know yourself and doing things that celebrate who you are as a young woman. Stop worrying about those that don't appreciate you for the princess that you are.
