I’m a sophomore in high school and have about two to three weeks left of school. I’m a good student when it has to do with participating in class and getting good grades on tests but I have one big problem, I’n not a very responsible person when it comes to handing in work. I have more than 7 essays to write and hand in before Thursday. Essays, oral presentations, short stories… I feel like I’m going to have a break down soon.
Here’s another thing: I have a friend with benefits and people are telling me that he’s had a crush on me since like forever but he doesn’t really acknowledge me when we’re in school. Every time I’m around he just finds some girl to wrap his arms around or sit on his lap. It kind of pisses me off even though I don’t like him. There’s also this cute guy who started talking to me recently and I feel like I can’t show my true feeling because of this friend with benefits thing. What should I do?
I’m only fifteen and I have too much drama in my life and in between I have to deal with volleyball practice and hours and hours of rehearsals. HELP
Please someone help me, comment, please.
1. For right now, school first and everything else later.
That being said, I feel you.
Also, get that procrastination in check because it will destroy you in college/university.
Even if you get A’s in all your classes, you’ll still be shorting yourself the publications or research presentations you’ll likely be missing out on. Those things look great on resumes and give you a leg up against people when trying to get internships or seek out employment.
2. I don’t know what the sophomore level of “friends with benefits” is, however, since your friends (with benefits) why not talk to him about your dynamic?
The fact that he ignores you at school and is rather touchy with other girls makes me believe that he either wants to make it known that he is not “with” you or may want you to get jealous (which may be what yur ‘anger’ really is?).
Therefore, ask where he wants things to go or if he sees things going anywhere. If he says you are just a sex buddy or whatever, then take that as the go-ahead to begin talking with guy #2.
He can’t really get mad since you aren’t in a relationship, nomsayn?
If you don’t feel good about talking to guy #2 while still being friend swith benefits with guy #1… then kick #1 to the curb while you get to know #2.
If things don’t work out, chances are #1 will still want the benefits of being “friends” with you.
