There is only one person responsible for your happiness and she is reading this right now.

Being the opinionated young lady that I am, I apologize now for any controversy or offensiveness you may find in this post. I'm only speaking from experience and common sense, for heaven sake. I'm not afraid to speak my mind and for that I usually end up with a few enemies after I've opened my mouth.

Girls, you need to know something. They aren't worth it. Boys. they're stupid and are just looking for "fun". I've had many friends come to me or I've heard of stories about that boy they've been crushing on but can't seem to make any advances with him. I've been there too. In fact, it isn't until about a month ago I decided they just aren't worth it. If you are below the age of 25, leave that part of life, {meaning boy/girl relationships} alone. There is so much to learn, so much of life to discover before you give your very young and naive heart to a stupid boy. And perhaps this will stir up arguments and maybe offend, but your hormones are like mini Frakensteins. They are Nature's sugarplums to make humans breed. You're not ready for a relationship that young, it's immature and will get you into trouble. If you think a boy can only make you happy, you're wrong. There is only one person responsible for your happiness and she is reading this right now. When you're ready, you'll find him. When are you ready? Answer: you're at least 25, you've been to Europe and you have a college degree. Simple enough. So, next time he walks around the corner, smiles at you, flirts, whatever it is that makes you swoon, step back and remember you still have till 25. And if he tries to do anything inappropriate slap him hard and say, "What sort of cod are you sir? I am a respectable maiden."

25 will come soon enough, ladies.

Ugh! You're so right! I agree with you 100%! Been there myself and its just really not the right time to seriously date. (prophets know what they're talking about)But I do have to say that boys are still cute to look at! ;)

Oh. Katherine. I love you. You speak to my inner-17-year -old, and you certainly echo the current-*cough*-aged YW leader in me. You are right. Absolutely right! 25 will come soon enough. And then, so does 40. But I won't upset you with that just now. Call me in 25 years or so and I'll make you feel better as I round into 80 or so, and you will be a spring chicken or summer flower....in the meantime, girls, work on yourself...improve your talents, education, charity. Become the kind of woman Mr. Darcy, or Mr. Rochester, or Captain Wentworth would want to woo. THEN, with a little luck, you'll find the right kind of man--not boy--for you!

GIRL. This is EXACTLY what I needed!! I have been having some boy troubles too. Nothing too big but it's hard just the same. You are so right! All boys ever do in high school is flirt and lead you on and even though I'm not yet sixteen, my heart has been broken multiple times because of a boys inability to keep his eyes to himself. I have a post similar to this on my blog too. It's been circulating I think. If anything, I think all of us girls are feeling the pain. I'm officially done with boys, or at least I'm trying to be.

Darling Katy, has anyone ever pointed out how very brilliant you are?
My goodness, yes. And yes again.
But they *are* lovely as friends . . .
