Relationships

Looking back at my years in school I fell like I did good. Up until my the latter part of my 10th grade year. I was so insistant of having a boyfriend that I ended up dating a guy that I didn't really like. That was my first mistake. It got to me. When I started my 11th grade year I was doing ok and still "dateing" that same guy. I was slowly falling in my grades. After that relationship was broken off for reasons that were batted back and forth I entered a relationship with a guy that was esentually a "pot-head." And my grades did not get any better. The classes I had chosen were easier, weightlifting (which I had needed since I was a firm participator in sports), but was not a part of my goals. For my senior year I was free. I started in a good groove. No guy. Great classes. It seemed as though it was going ot be a great year. I found a new guy that was so sweet and loving and just seemed like that guy that you always wanted. Guess what! I'm gonna ruin the story, it sooo didn't work. I moved out of my parents house to live with him before I graduated. I got pregnant and then graduated. I even ruined my high school athletic goals. I did have a small scholarship for a good local school and had to decline. This guy had control of me. I moved away from my family because that is what I thought I had to do for him because I was carrying his child. I felt like I couldn't do anything. I had my baby and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. As a part of my New Year's Resolution I got out of that guys clutches and moved back with my family. They are very supportive and encourage me more than they ever have. My family used to be a family that did not tell what they were feeling very often, now with everyting that has happened to all of us with the last two rough years we have gotten closer. SO, what is my point for typeing this all down? Don't get too involved too fast. Learn everything about "your boyfriend or girlfriend" and always remember that they are their mother and father, and their family is who they are. Spend time with them and if they seem like a "crew" that you do not want to be around then please save your self the heartbreak and get out of the relationship as fast as possible. A mother's instinct is usually right. Talk to your parents about your relationship too.
