I don't have a problem with dating in high school. I just think it's kind of crazy. I mean, yes you test out all the possibilities & see what you find attractive on the opposite sex, or in alot of cases these days, the same sex.. but chances are, you're never going to have any sort of connection to one another after graduation and senior trip. Dating would be awesome in high school if it was like it was way back when. Like it is in movies when you went out to a drive-in, held hands, shared a soda, maybe had a sweet, goodnight kiss.. made tapes for one another, actually called rather than texting.. But now days the majority of people dating are just together based on physical attraction and that sort of stuff. I know there are several couples which are the exception, those people are not who I am talking about.. I actually respect them. I'm proud that they can stay modest and true to one another in high school., and I pray that if it is God's will for them that they make it forever.
I've never really dated alot in high school. I've had one somewhat-long relationship.. But I don't miss it. I was stupid. I thought I 'loved' him. What was I thinking? I was a stinkin freshman. I was stupid. I'm not putting the boy I dated down at all, I have nothing against the boy.. well man now. I just simply was not in love. Looking back, I am proud of myself for not giving into him like many of my friends were doing in their relationships. I'm proud that I went through all that I did. I'm glad that we broke up and I didn't fall apart like so many girls do. I'm proud that I don't wish to go back to that. I'm proud that I learned from my experiences. I respect him for that. In some ways, he helped me realize that I don't want to be tied down to one boy in high school. I have plenty of time to find my soul mate, to find that man God has planned for me. Taylor Swift's song, Fifteen, is awesome. I believe it should be declared the teenage/high school girl's anthem.. here is the chorus:
'cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there nothing to figure out
Well count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
Fifteen
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there nothing to figure out
Well count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
Fifteen
Dr.Phil's show yesterday was based on personality tests and how everyone is different and reacts differently and how it affects our relationships with one another. Well, he had everyone on the show take The Big Five Test, I took it and here are my results:
10
10.7
10.8
Openness
10
10.4
11
Conscientiousness
14
8.5
9.1
Extraversion
5
10.1
10.6
Agreeableness
10
5.7
6.7
Neuroticism
Females
Males
You
It's so crazy how this one test could completely capture my personality. So, as the chart shows, I scored most highly in extraversion, which means I am talkative, enthusiastic, cheerful and energetic & can also be assertive. My lowest score was in my ability to be agreeable. It stated that people low on this trait are honest, blunt and not particularly concerned with protecting other’s feelings. The test showed that I am equally open, conscienous, and neurotic. Openness describes people who question the norm and like to play with ideas, have vivid imaginations and enjoy adventures. People who are high on the trait of conscientiousness like order and plan ahead. They don’t become distracted and are not reckless and tend to achieve high levels of success. On the downside, they can be compulsive perfectionists and workaholics. And neuroticism refers to people who are easily stressed and find it hard to remain calm in tense situations. They tend to worry a lot about what lies ahead or what has just occurred.
Overall , I REALLY am totally pleased with my results. I do believe that Dr.Phil has just defined the personality I obtain. Woo-Hoo Doctor P!!!
I love having friends, loving others, and just being loved. My attitude and mood really are affected by the people I surrond myself with. Generally, I get along with most everyone.. but don't get me wrong- there are those certain few that just really make my skin crawl. Most of the time, those people are my family, which is insane since they do everything for me. Anyways, I just want to thank everyone who has made an appearance in my life. Although some of those people didn't treat me nicely, I am appreciative of the lesson I learned from them. I love them for how they helped me to become accustume to people like them that I will come into contact with in the future. I am thankful for the others that have come into my life and had to leave. Whether they have already been united with Christ in Heaven and left this earth, or if our friendship has simply drifted apart.. I thank them for leaving their footprints on my heart and teaching me many things I wouldn't have learned otherwise. I am thankful for the memories and times I had with those people and will cherish them until the day I die, or until I am mentally not able to anymore. I am also blessed to have so many amazing social friends.. I love them all. Not that I do not want a closer relationship with all those people, I just know and understand that not everyone can be my bestfriend. But to those friends that are my true friends.. thank you, thank you, thank you. My true friends are the ones I know I can depend on to catch me when I fall. The ones that will love me no matter what, happy or sad, in joy, in times of trial, and even in rage.
I really believe that TRUE friends are Jesus with skin on.
SOME of the people I treasure very much :))
