Boys, Boys, Boys

Eighth grade boys are the biggest idiots I've ever seen. Girls aren't that great, either. Especially when it comes to relationships. Let's take my best friend Giana and her ex-boyfriend Adam as an example. So they just met this year, and were kinda friends from the beginning. Then, in history class, Adam asked Giana out. She said "ya". They went out for a month, but only actually went on two dates. They never even touched each other. Didn't hug, kiss, even hold hands. It was awkward. In the middle of this, Me, Emily, and some of our other friends got to know Adam. He's pretty much an annoying, aggravating, disgusting creep that likes to give his girlfriend's best friends the finger. Then, they broke up. About 3 days later, we find out he started going out with one of Giana's great friends Marissa. They went out for two months, kissed, held hands, hugged, and more. Once, Giana had the brilliant idea to go to the movies. Adam, Marissa, Giana and me. It didn't end well. Then they broke up and now, three days later, Giana and Adam are back together! Adam isn't even cute. He's actually the ugliest guy in school. And none of Giana's friends (including me) can stand him. He's a jackass. It's quite stressful for me, actually. The sad part is Giana doesn't get any of it. Not why the movies was awkward, or the fact that her and Adam were better friends after they broke up was strange, or how stressful it is for all of her friends. It sucks. Any advice?

Heyyyy

Well hello everyone out there! I doubt anyone's reading this, but if you are, welcome to what is virtually gonna be my "diary". My name is Mandy, I'm fourteen and in the 8th grade. Ya, ya I'm young, the internet's dangerous, blah, blah, blah. But I need a place to get my feelings out. This is my best option at this point in time (all my friends are getting sick of hearing about my problems. As Emily said earlier this week, "the world is not your psychiatrist!" no, apparently the internet is!) I'd like some feedback on my posts if you guys don't mind, and I'll probably ask for help at some points. So a little about me and the things I like:

• I'm naturally high. I get hyper a lot and I'm reallyyyyyyy *unique*, different, and sometimes crazy
• I absolutely love to read
• I'm smart. A straight-A student.
• My sister Candace is 9 and has health problems. She has a disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). My family and I have made it priority to help fundraise for research to find a cure. It can be really hard sometimes, and I get extremely jealous. (but more on that later!)
• i LOVE hockey. The Boston Bruins are my team <3
• I have a couple of really great friends, but not too many. I've known Emily since 5th grade, and we're like sisters. She's just as insane as I am! You rarely ever see us apart. Giana moved to my town a year and a half ago, and we're getting really close. I've known Jen since 5th grade, too, but we're not as close as we used to be. Faith is great, and I'm getting closer to her day by day. Everyone is kinda drifting apart from Alissa, but we still love her. I promise you you'll be hearing a lot more about friends later. It might get confusing, don't be afraid to ask questions!
• I love writing, but science and math are my strongest subjects.

• All my friends (especially Giana who is an amazing writer) think I should be a writer, but I want to be a doctor (research scientist and forensic scientist are my runner-ups)

So that's it for now, I'm going to try to post every day. Comments are great, I even encourage them. I will be asking for advice in the future, and you can ask me for help, too. I love helping people! I don't mind hearing about other people's problems, and I think this should be a place of helping and caring, no prejudice or racism or any of those bad things. So that's my first post!
