MY CRUSHLIFE STORY by: FoxyImperfect

(The Object of Your Affection)

You can't choose your crushes.

Sometimes they sneak up on you and -

wow - who was that? Your crush might

be a classmate, a neighbor, your best

friend's crush, an older kid, a friend of

your brother or sister, a sister or brother of a friend, or a teacher at your school. Your crush could even be on someone you

don't know, like a professional athlete or

a celebrity. When the crush is on

someone you don't know, you might

imagine what that person is like. Maybe

you think about what it would be like to meet that person, even though you know

you probably never will. It's still fun to

imagine! You might find yourself writing the name

of your crush over and over again in a

notebook or telling a good friend about

that special person you like so much.

Crushes might last a few days, weeks,

months, or longer.

Some people call first loves or first

crushes "puppy love" because these

feelings are new to you, you're young,

and you don't have much experience with

life. You're the puppy! Get it? Think about

how a puppy is so excited and happy with everything new in its life - from a

rubber bone to an old shoe. But when

your feelings seem real and strong, it

may not seem like puppy love to you.

When you have a crush on someone and

you find out that he or she likes you, too,

it's a wonderful feeling. But sometimes it

doesn't work out that way. It's hard to

find out that the person you like doesn't

feel the same way about you. You might feel sad, disappointed, and rejected. That sad feeling is called heartbreak, even

though your heart isn't really breaking

into pieces. If you feel heartbreak, those

feelings can last for a while, but they will

fade. Another word about heartbreak: Try to

be kind if you're on the other end of a

crush - when someone likes you. It's a

compliment when someone thinks you're

special. If you don't feel the same way,

try to tell him or her in a nice way. Crushes are new and exciting, so enjoy

them while they last. Someday, you'll be

telling your own kids about your first

crush!
