the worlds guide to teenagers - c.b

relationships - felicity

so, as i was told to write in this book - a segment. i have finally made a start on it and this part is about relationships. we will all have one, just some of us later then others i guess.

  us teenagers like to think that our relationships will last forever, and when they don't - we get upset and then we act like we hate the person (but obviously we don't). and then later (by later i mean a week or so) the same person will realise they've made a mistake and fool you in to giving them a chance. then the process repeats until you're finally fed up.

  we seem to want to be with our others like all the time - hugging, kissing, just holding hands. yes, it's nice. but when you or them don't hang out for a certain amount of time things just go pear shaped. they suddenly think "oh no they don't like me anymore!" and then you have to convince them that you're not being distant and that you just want space.

  there is always the first awkward week of a relationship, where you will walk past eachother in the hallways and just give a simple hug. and nobody can forget when your friends found out how much they taunted, and they would always treat you like circus animals: "are you gonna kiss or what?" "kiss then!" etc etc.

  and there is always that player who will go out with someone for a day, claim to "love them" and dump that person the next day. we all know we have them, some of us have even been fooled. and we all secretly want to smack them.

  and war goes down when that person goes out with your crush...

and you're there like "i'd motherfucking kill to be in your position." and then you end up hating them  for the rest of your life.

  and then there is the person who will vow to not have any relationships ever, but then blurts out that they like someone, and it's quite shocking. you feel kind of happy for them, and they are the sort of relationships that will last long, well definitely longer than people who have lots of relationships, and like different people.

  and we begin with the "multiple choice liker" where the person will like more than one person - two maybe three and can't choose between who they like best, and will claim to "like them all the same". in my opinion, i don't see how that is possible, but hey ho, that's how it is. 

  concering relationships, my advice is to just hang back until you are positive you really like someone, and that you've read this to just double check who you're dealing with. you will find someone you really do think it'll work with but you're only a teenager.

  just focus on friendships.
