It 's Enough That I Have Enjoyed Your Stupidity

In middle school I met a girl who quickly became my best friend. After we met, we did nearly everything together. We were simply incepreable. We continued to be very close all the way up into junior year of high school. This is when she met and started dating one of the senior boys from our school. She had always had a thing for "bad boys" and this boy was a picture perfect representation of one. After she started seeing him more, I started seeing her less and less. The boy she was dating apparently disliked me; a lot. He began to take control of everything in her life. When she came to lunch everyday at school, she would sit with me and a group of my friends and tell us how he would hit

Someone needs to talk with her. In person or on the phone would probably be better than email. That someone is not going to be me.

There are times I miss you so much, I wish I could remember where I hid your body. I remember the night, cold and dark. An owl hoots in the distance. If only I could remember where you were. I always liked the night and so did you. Every week we took walks through the forest behind Old Man Smith’s home and talked about what had happened that week. All of that changed once you started dating her. First, you stopped walking with me then you stopped talking to me. In the end, you stopped noticing me in general. I was jealous. I mean who wouldn’t be; you were perfect. Dark hair swept back, tan skin, deep blue eyes. Everything perfect. But she took you away from so I got revenge. I wanted to kill her but I thought of something else that would cause her more pain. After a month of plotting, I realized I didn’t care about you at all anymore, but I still wanted her to pay. Sometimes I regret what I did. She still seems to be happy even though I took you away from her like she did to me. That night that I invited you to walk with me I thought you would reject me but to my surprise, you agreed. Revenge is going to be sweet tonight, I told myself. I went home and put together a backpack. Bug spray, an extra jacket, a water bottle, and a serrated knife went into the backpack. I met you behind the rickety barn on Old Man Smith’s property like we used to. I smiled at you and you did your once cute smirk back at me. You held out your hand and I reluctantly took it. Hand in hand we strolled through the forest. You told your cheesy jokes and I

It all began in the summer of 2015. There was a close group of friends that were almost torn apart over one girl in the group. It almost completely destroyed the friendship that had been built upon over the years. There was a decision to be made and I was the one to decide.

What should I do with my life? Should I start a new life or fight for Candice. I feel like if I keep thinking about her I might become obsessive. However, I can’t in fact I won’t stop caring about her. While having all of these thoughts on my head, my phone started ringing. It was Austin. “Hey man! What’s up?” he said. “I’m sorry about yesterday. I went and visited Candice, you told me the truth. Not only does she look pale but also looks sick as well, she’s taking some pills Adam gave her. I talked to her, she didn’t recognize me in addition, I had to lie. She thinks I’m her boy best friend. I just hope when the time comes, she can forgive me for all of the lies, I have told. On the other hand, I kissed her. To make a long story short, Adam is not taking care of her for this reason I need to talk to him. Do you know how to get to their house?” I explained. “Yeah, I know where they live. Do you want me to send you the directions?” he asked. “It would be awesome if you did. I’ve never told you this before, thank you for being here for me. I’m so grateful to have you in my life,” I

Now, after 5 months of exchange, we still talk. We are always sharing our crazy experiences. I can say that they’re one of the most incredible people that I met during my exchange. In retrospect, I see that that person that sat alone for 10 minutes because she’s too shy is almost gone. I learned that making new friends is a good thing. Don’t be alone for 10 minutes untill someone comes to you, because this someone might never come, and you will never meet someone like Rafaela and

Summer of 2016 was a very interesting time for me. It was the start of the first serious relationship I had and lead to the intro to new people into my life who would end up becoming some of my best friends. We had summer workouts for hockey and it was every day of the week besides weekends. Except it was Caledonia mixed with Kentwood, our rivals. There was only 4 people from Caledonia and 17 from Kentwood, the Cal kids were me, Davis Ziesmer, Hunter Fridley, and Nolan Lockhart. I had no idea who Davis and Hunter were, but I knew who Nolan was because I had previously played with him on a hockey team. From what I knew, Hunter was a jerk at school, and Davis was nice and innocent, and toward the end of the summer my girlfriend had broken up

How could you say those awful things about me? I cannot believe you would do such a thing. I truly thought we were friends. And just so you know, I eat three full meals a day and I DON’T throw them up right after. Don’t even talk to me ever again. I don’t think I want to talk to a bully like you. In fact, don’t even bother talking to Jess anytime soon. She's mad at you as well. Look, I'm sorry if I ever made you mad for whatever reason but you can't just backlash me like that! I hope you rethink your actions. Oh and btw, everyone knows about that rumor you tried to spread. You accidently made it a public message on twitter. I don’t recommend going to school tomorrow

So I'm pretty sure you think I'm an asshole now... but I just want you to know that if you ever need anything I can be here for you. Sometimes I do irrational things, but it's usually when I'm afraid of being hurt. This whole thing has been pretty confusing lately, but if anything has remained constant it's that I do care about you and I'm pretty sure you care about me too. My actions the other night were wrong, and even though we're "taking a break" it just didn't feel right. The truth is, I was feeling confused and I didn't want to be missing someone I wasn't with. So, I tried to find draw my attention away from you and it didn't work at all. You've left quite an impression on me. I don't want to play games with you. It's difficult, but this

Brittany told me what I did to her friend was pretty messed up and that she'd cried her eyes out about it. I had an instant feeling of power and joy which quickly turned to guilt. I asked her to give me the girls number so we can squash the beef. But, the girl didn't want to talk and decided she wanted to get even. I continued to talk to Chad; not because I liked him but because I had to have one up on her. He was such an idiot that he kept talking to me despite the issues his “girlfriend” and I were

I can’t tell you the number of guys I see on Facebook admonishing their lady, making edited pictures, tagging in statuses, all kinds of corny shit. Just so he can still be unappreciated at the end of the day. Trust me, I know that feeling and it sucks. It is even more gut wrenching when you find out she’s been letting everyone in her cookie jar except you.

I allowed myself to commit to her knowing in the back of my mind that she was a groupie… was my reason for feeling jaded justified? Or am I faced with the reality that women just like men are capable of reserving total access until the right

In addition to affecting modern romances, social media also plays a large role in the modern friendship, because support on social media between friends is becoming just as important as real life support. According to Pea et al. (2012) the ease of maintaining a friendship through social media, while perceived as a positive, can actually have negative effects on a relationship as face-to-face communication is phased out in favor of interaction over social media. In social media, one can find a plethora of behaviors detrimental to friendships, such as gossip and other factors that incubate jealousy and suspicion (Fox and Anderegg 2014). Friendships that exist in the real world and on the web would theoretically be fortified as another dimension is added to the relationship, but the opposite is true as social media interaction does not strengthen the relationship as actual interaction would. The research of Pea et al.

It is becoming more frequent in today’s society to utilize social media to connect and stay in touch with others. In fact, one could say that social media has become an everyday part of our lives. More than 800 million individuals use Facebook daily (Fox & Anderegg, 2014). It is therefore of great significance, that one gives awareness to how the frequency of social media usage can affect our romantic relationships. This study consists of analyzing the amount of time one spends on Facebook and if the amount of time has an effect on the relationship satisfaction. Previous studies have gone over the aspects of the activities and concepts among individuals that can cause negative relationship outcomes but these studies have not extended beyond the concept of frequency. Moreover, previous research has suggested that individuals’ attachment status, individuals who have Facebook–related conflict, individuals who were in shorter term relationships, and individuals who have certain ideas of what normal behavior is when getting to know someone on the website can end up predicting negative relationship outcomes (Clayton, Nagurney, & Smith, 2013).

A multitude of relationships dissolve after only a short while because of jealous tendencies and unfounded assumptions about a person or the attention they are believed to give or receive. Whether on Facebook or Instagram many instances of a jealous partner are highlighted and in some instances seen as amusing and almost comical. Girlfriends who try consistently to gain access to their boyfriend’s phones or boyfriends side eyeing any guy who may look at their girlfriend are all depictions shown in “funny” videos seen online through Facebook and Instagram.
