"Love" for the blind.

Note: The * is there to show that names have been changed.


Alright, so I know this girl Kayla* who is going out with a guy named Steven*. This relationship started early on, back in middle school when they were together, but they broke it off for reasons unknown to me. Now, they attend high school and "rekindled" I guess you would say their relationship. They have been together for three months and already they're just like all the other couples in high school. They're "in love". Psh. These two wouldn't know what love was if it smacked them dead in the face.

The girl-Kayla*- I know for a fact isn't in love with him although she claims to be. She is just like any other teenage girl who has been through numerous relationships and numerous heartbreaks. She just wants attention. She's always just wanted attention, and I'm not just saying that from studying here, I know that because I've very close to her and know her more than she understands herself. She just wants someone to be in love with, but really she's oblivious to what love is really about. Kayla* has always given EVERYTHING to every guy she dates. She does anything to make them happy even if it comes to her expense. She just does it to keep them around , and she puts her own self-dignity aside to do it. I don't think any young women should have to do that just so that their BOYFRIEND can be happy.

The guy-Steven*- is such a jerk to her in so many ways too, but she's just so blind that she just can't see it. He literally jerks her away from friends, he goes M.I.A. for hours and comes up with unpractical excuses for it, and he flirts with other girls all the time, even right in front of her! Somehow though he manages to charm her with his words and make sure she stays around. I don't know how she puts up with him.

This relationship is bogus. I've told Kayla* on numerous accounts that it is to. She's still in denial. I would hope that maybe one day she would realize that it would be better to be alone, because after everything she's been through she is NOT ready for a relationship. I just wish she could understand that and quit being so dependent on a guy to make her happy, because then, it's not love at all, it's just being scared of being alone. And in my opinion, how are you going to take care of the one you "love" when you can't even take care of yourself?
