About your post about the person you know who is boy-crazy...
I do agree that it is not good for people our age to think about boyfriends too much (i'll even go further and consider looks and vanity), but what I have a problem with is that you say it's not right to think that way.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right? So let her think whatever she wants to. It is fine to reject her beliefs if she forces them onto you, but she should be allowed to think whatever she wants. There is no "RIGHT" way of thinking. She can think one way while you think the other and both of you can still live in harmony. That is if she doesn't bug you about her beliefs.. but she does.
However, I do believe that being boy-crazy is not beneficial to our lives while we're still in Secondary school. And here's why.
1. Premature boy-craziness will affect our studies. Staying up late to SMS\chat with them can cause sleepiness during lessons, and failure to hand in homework. And not just staying up late, probably SMSing during lessons as well. There are a whole lot of things I can list down but ultimately it always comes back to the point: Your studies WILL be affected. And you risk being called a bimbo and an airhead.
2. Premature boy-craziness will waste your money. The SMSes replied and sent, the Valentine's (and other days) Day's gifts? Going out with them all the time? Transport fees? Money should be spent wisely, especially when you're not the one earning it. I'm sure you catch my drift.
3. Premature boy-craziness will affect your brain. You'll think that time is better spent on (whoever) than on school work and studies. You'll ignore your parents' advice. You'll ignore time and space, everything except you "loved" one.
Now i'm not saying true love can never be found while you're young, but teenage relationships almost always never last. For those from RGPS, take Gladys and Daniel for instance. You'll think you're head over heels in love when you're not, and this is the problem with adolescent minds. Sometimes it's just infatuation, and sometimes you're seeking the feeling of being loved rather than "the one".
Love may be a strong word, and it's very specific as well.
I don't really know alot of people out there who are boy-crazy, but there are I guess.
So you can listen to me or not.
(This in no way concerns obsessions over movie stars and boybands)
