staring they would probably smile and wave. Instead of getting in my personal space, they would ask me how my day is or just don't encounter me at all. Like respecting my space for one. And me! They would by all means make me not feel uncomfortable.

Someone can be the most prittiest or most handsome person ever. But are they gonna treat you well or wanting to use you for what you can give?

I've had many crushes before but it never meant that I wanted to date them. I think about spending my whole life with that person and I think, " would I be happy?" or "would that person meet my needs and love me?". And I think dating at a young age is really not that good because you're still developing and finding yourself as a person. You need to go through life a little longer before you're "stable". As kids our raging hormones can make us make alot of stupid decisions. If you keep dating and breaking up, dating and love just becomes an object and not something wholehearted. It looses its charm and its meaning. And love is something very important you don't want to lose. You want someone in your life that meets your morals as a good person for you and first off you need to know that person VERY WELL. But not like stalker well but like the back of your hand well because your privacy with that person is going to be their privacy. Thats when the person real self is revealed.

And if that persons outside appearence is pleasing but the inside is a rotten core then honey, you got a bad relationship. You have to judge the person by their actions and personality. Will that person support and think of you or think of only their well being? Are they cussing you out and abusing you? But lets not forget normal human error. The person isn't gonna be PERFECT. They WILL make mistakes but are they still loving you? Everyone has their own love language. Someone could love hugs and kisses. Others may enjoy you spending time with them or taking them places. Some love when you give them gifts.(but not neccisarily being greedy) But theres already so many aspects that go into loving the person.

Like I said, its better to wait and let yourself grow mature because if you keep dating and breaking up, you'll become a basket case and love won't really mean anything to you anymore. Besides dating the person is really the process getting to know them rather than JUST a relationship. Its what you do before marriage. But I also think that its not good to date in school because what about after school? Are you still gonna see eachother? But when I see alot of people dating I see them breaking up because they don't have feeling for eachother anymore. Well what do you expect if you just started dating because you both thought each other looked cute. After you're in that relationship looks start getting less important and now its all about how the person treats you.

//cough this is old but might as well post it now...because I need space and this is important.

i want you to tell this to every 6th grader at my school.

I seriously couldn't agree more
ugh

I agree with you all the way.
This is very important, yes, thank you.

that is extremely smart and mature, it's very rare to find someone young who's figured this out. well done! the picture is great as well, I love the colors. c:

okay new follower so I just caught up on your situation with those kids and dear gOSH. that's awful. as another girl who has been s.exually harrassed, (my situation was literally the exact same except my principal actually did something) I am so sorry you have had to go through this. my own personal advice would be definitely yes, get mace! keep it within arm's reach at all times. but secondly be as mean as you possibly can. sometimes saying "f.uck off" with force a few times is all it takes. I learned the hard way that sometimes you just have to swear at them and they'll move on when they know you're not gonna take their s.hit. thirdly, idk where your parents are at in this but encourage them to get directly involved!! parents talking to the principal and then nothing being done is /bad news/ for that principal. your parents can report them and they can lose their job and even be charged in court. I hope this helps! if you have any questions feel free to ask me any time!

I know a lot more now than back then, got involved in awareness programs and the like. above all I wish you the best of luck with this! stay strong!

If the boys continue treating you like this report it to the authorities. These acts are not to be taken lightly. You could go to court or something and get a warrant(?) for them to stay 50-100m away from you. I honestly have nothing to say but they are disgusting. I wish you all the luck in the world that you get those boys to stop.

i completelly agree with this! its bothered me for so long seeing things like this happening. when you have a relationship with someone youre making a commitment! if you arent ready to make a commitment then why are you even starting a relationship?

This goes especially if you have trauma or self esteem issues or any mental health issues. Well said
