The Crazy Things Teens Do  |
|
http://www.gather.com/vie... most of us have crazy teen stories, and this one, is one of mine,
excerpt:
Being the shy person that I was in high school it was difficult for me to approach boys let alone flirt with them. But the hormones were raging and after all I was a teenager. I was 15 years old and starting to feel oh so grown up! I bought 16 Magazine faithfully. Like all my girl friends at the time, we had our lockers plastered with posters of Davey Jones, from the Monkeys, and all the other larger than life teen idols. It is really funny but I can't even remember my most beloved teen idol. All I remember was that he was blond and gorgeous; the all American male, just like Ken (Barbie and Ken). As far as I know he was probably a one hit wonder. For the life of me as I write this piece I cannot even remember the song that he sang. Nevertheless his face was plastered all over my locker, inside and out.
My high school crush had been my grade 9 history teacher; a person I knew that I would never date anyhow. Since I was always over weight I did not get many boys paying attention to me during those all important years. Even if some boys did approach me I was too shy to ever consider flirting let alone date them. But there were a few boys that I did admire from afar.
Did you ever try to get your friend to go to a boy or girl to promote you to them like I did?
Have your ever done it for anyone else?
How did you get or try to get the boy or girl you liked to take notice of you?

11. Lakota12 (17076) | 1 year ago | very ood story and one that every one needs to see what goes wrong with well laid plans . and no I really never di after I sort of got well I cant say snub he never did that but what the boy said that I wasnt sick just before I passed out and went home with the flu never looked at him again . And I didnt ever try to make a boy look at me again in that way. The 2 I married did every thing on thier own with really no help from me,

12. Hatley (20984) | 1 year ago | hi winterrose I had a crush on my biology teacher in the ninth grade, he was safe like you say. I was also overweight too and had a time getting any boy to pay attention to me. I was shy and was a farm girl in town. I had a crush on couple of boys but never got to go out with them. and the ugliestboy in our class had a crush on me.lol.My girlfriend tried to intercede for me but it didnt work. sad to say I never dated during high school. sounds impossible but it was true. I always thought of my self as an ugly duckling so I was thirty before I met my husban to be and he taught me that I was not ugly I was somebody,I was uniqe, I liked myself. so I married the man. lol.

winterose (17666) | 1 year ago | I was never popular in high school because of my weight but I did date a much older guy when I was 16, you will read about him in later stories,
but I know exactly how you feel I spent all my teen years wishing I had a boyfriend, but except for that one time when I was 16 I never did.

winterose (17666) | 1 year ago | your right he probably was married 5 times over,
I was too shy and too afraid to be rejected to try to get a boy's attention myself.

14. ElicBxn (15301) | 1 year ago | For some reason I was so disliked that I would never have considered any one at school.
There was a boy, an outcast like me, that I was nice too and he got interested in me. I had to finally explain that he wasn't for me, he was not smart, he might've even been considered mildly retarded, not for me.

winterose (17666) | 1 year ago | I always wondered why the guys I didn't like it high school like me, it seemed a twisted fate
| |
|
|
ElicBxn (15301) | 1 year ago | They figured if you were also an outcast like they were, they might have a chance. Of course, I never really wanted to get married, I figured out at 4 that it took a mommy and a daddy to have a baby, and I didn't want one. I figured if I stayed away from potential daddies, I'd never become a mommy.
Its worked GREAT I might add.

17. Elixiress (2729) | 1 year ago | I never really go anyone to go over to someone and say "oh Jane is fabulous you should date her", because I think that would creep anyone out. I did however have friends that if they were also friends with the guy would subtle ask them if they liked me etc, so then I knew whether or not it was wish to make a move as like everyone I did not want to be rejected more than necessary. I also asked people the question myself, but rarely in person, usually over text or msn or some other non-face to face medium.
I have never had a crush on any of my teachers, although people thought I was having "extra lessons" with them. I have also never really had a crush on a celebrity ever, I have never had posters everywhere.

19. chertsy (2582) | 1 year ago | Being a teen in a house with two older brother's wasn't fun. I never had trouble talking to boys, my problem was keeping them once I got them, . My middle older brother was my main problem. If he didn't think the boy I liked was ok to be around me, he made sure we didn't see each other. He was very protective over his little sister's, he did the same with my sister as well. I will never forget the shortest time that I had a boyfriend. The guy asked me to be his girlfriend on Friday, my brother found out on Saturday, and the guy dumped me that Monday at school. I just thought the guy didn't like me anymore, then I turned around, and there was my brother. He was making sure that the guy was dumping me. So sad to say, I only dated about 3 boys while in school. Liked a few more from afar, only because my brother had the reputation of running off boys that liked his sisters. So getting a friend to talk to a boy for me, wouldn't have done me any good. To get boys to notice me that I liked, I just started talking to them. I had many likes that they liked, so talking came naturally.

winterose (17666) | 1 year ago | wow what a brother, when did he stop scaring your boyfriends off?
| |
|
|
chertsy (2582) | 1 year ago | He stopped, after I got married, even then he tried to scare him off as well. It didn't work. He tried a lot of stuff for example, he grabbed his rifle and told my husband to hold the spot light out the window at a deer or something. He fired the gun out the window, which scared my husband to death, , but didn't scare him off. He told my mom that he was planning on getting him so scared that he would want to end our marriage, all because he was mad at the fact he didn't get to meet him before we got married. I didn't know all of what he did, just that when they got home, he said well, I tried to scare him off. After that, my brother and my husband became friends, it was shortened almost a year later when my brother was murdered. My other brother tried to hang out with my husband, but they didn't click.
