A letter of a Teen’s love frustrations: cyber boyfriend or one two states away
(* all names changed to protect the unknown!)
Dear-self,
Today has been awful. This whole week has been. I miss *Nathan. *Al, my current boyfriend seems like he could care less about me. When we talk on the phone things are awful but when we’re together our time is amazing. What am I supposed to do?
I want love. I want it back. I want *Nathan back. He may have lived a thousand miles away but he treated me with more respect and love than anyone else. I’m starting to wonder If I’ve even made the right decision leaving *Nathan.
I don’t like the way he talks to me like I’m trash. If only cyber boyfriends weren’t so mysterious. But then again *Al lives two states away but at least I’ve met him.
My mom tells me no, my dad tells me no, but I still want *Nathan. Looks like it’s time to get a new boyfriend. Some where close, some where near. All around here boys are stupid! I don’t understand them or I’ve known them too long. Well I guess this is just considered as a day in the life of a frustrated teen. Who do I choose? The one I love who I’ve never met or the one who I like and treats me like garbage?
Well it’s all a little to frustrating. Looks like I’ll be single again! Wait..That’s a first for me.
