I’m 21 years old now and looking back at my high school years, I never regret my decisions about not focusing on guys as much. I had friends who were “Boy Crazy” and who always felt like they needed a boyfriend or boy toy by their side.

One girl, in particular, was always boy crazy. Her name won’t be mentioned because although we aren’t friends, I still respect her. She always was either talking to a boy or had a boyfriend. I remember our freshman year of college, we got into a big fight about a boy. Pointless drama. But what really made me decide she wasn’t good enough to be a friend, was she chose the boy she had known for maybe a year versus the friend she has known since 6^th grade.

GIRLS.

Don’t ever lose friends because of some stupid guy. Don’t believe guys over your friend you have known longer. Don’t feel like you need a man to be happy. Because news flash, you won’t be happy ever.

If you have to lose friendships over a guy, he is not worth it. Wait. Wait. Wait. Love is about waiting for the right person to come along and treat you the way you should be treated. You shouldn’t have to change your life for someone. You don’t owe them anything.

Girls.

Focus on what really matters when you are in high school: family, friends, school, extracurricular activities, religion, etc. But don’t waste your time on boys. You have your whole life to find someone who will be right for you.
