Do you have any chance to interact with him? A lunch or P.E.? Sometimes boys are really immature at that age, and only do what they see their other friends do. Here’s what I want YOU for focus on: Not trying to see if the white guy will like you. Find out if he is KIND. I want you to focus on finding boys who are kind, friendly and thoughtful. They can be any race, because those things come from what’s inside. I know it’s hard, but focus on school before anything. More than likely you’re never going to know these boys as an adult, so put some focus on being the best person you can be. I want you to discover what YOU like to do, and develop a passion for it. I want you reading books and learning about new places and things. I want you to be happy being a kid. Don’t rush the boyfriend stuff…you know how it is…a girl says she has a boyfriend and in two weeks they break up and there’s rumors flying all over the school. Who needs that? And remember: don’t give freely of yourself or your body–whether it’s a kiss or something more–because you think it will make boys like you more. If you’re feeling forced to do something you don’t want to do by a boy you like, he doesn’t really care about you. And finally, while I may be pretty good looking now, I was really funny looking in junior high school, and even high school! Let yourself grow into a swan while you learn about the world. The boys who really matter will come in time. If you want to email me some more, you can. christelyn@www.beyondblackwhite.com.
