Social Stereotyping and relationships..

Ok... so this is NOT what I woke up thinking of. In reality, what I woke up thinking of... was in fact, peanut butter. Why? Not a clue. Honestly, I'd like to know!

Anyway.. today I've been thinking about this new guy I'm interested in. He's cute, pretty sweet, funny, talks to me a pretty good bit, and flirts out the wazoo.

However! His social status is, jock. Not typical, I-hate-everyone-who-doesn't-play-a-sport jock, but he does play basketball. His friends are all the funny guys.

I usually wouldn't even consider having a feeling for one of these people.

MY social status, is not bad. But it isn't at the top, either. I'm not gorgeous but I'm not horrid to behold to the eyes either. I'm neither fat, nor skinny, really. My friends seem to think I'm funny, and my teachers think I'm smart.

The last guy I dated......... 2 years older than me...... totally immature.... pretty stupid.... didn't get a WORD I said.... and I read a thing on facebook yesterday where he had failed to understand the meaning of "TTYL".

Yeah. I'm serious.

Anywho, the new guy. I like him. I know his mom. She likes me. He's my type.

Problems?

To the adult eye, no.

To the eyes of a teenager not at the tip top of the High School social spiderweb of CRAP that won't mean anything to ANYONE in a few years... it means potential failure.

There are so many ridiculous aspects of "how-to-make-it-work" in the teenage system of relationships.

Honestly, they should make one of those "____ for dummies" books to help people comprehend.

...I'm getting off topic...

So:

Question: Why not make a move with this guy?

Answer: His friends would laugh me off the planet.

Ridiculous? Extremely. Anything I can do about it? No. Well I could try to become athletic, become a whore, and lose about 100 pounds so that I make the toothpicks on my stove look fat. But I have more pride. I will NOT change myself for anyone!

I decided that a long time ago, when the guy I've pretty much loved for 4 years pretty much told me he'd be with me if I'd sleep with him. I don't roll that way. I never told him no but he didn't get his way either. It hurts that I never see him but I probably wouldn't have seen him if I'd done what he wanted anyway.

Wow, my ability to stay on topic is sad.

But anyway. This is what I've thought about today.

How teenagers ruin their own lives by caring about what people they don't even like say about them. Pure stupidity. There are probably so many people that could fall in love if they'd just drop their social status and date a nice person. But it doesn't work that way, because life is not easy. And as humans we are never sure enough of ourselves to do what our gut is telling us. And I believe my gut instinct comes from God.

Another point. I believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason.

I believe all our choices affect us, and everyone around us. And everyone around them, as well. And eventually the choice of one person (no matter the decision) leads to a great outcome somewhere else in the world.

EXAMPLE!!!

1. Girl at lunch gets the last plate of fries.
2. Complete stranger guy wanted them, but doesn't get his way.
3. He sits down and has to tell his peers about the potato shortage. This conversation leads to the farthest thing from that, but would never have been started without that missing french fry.
4. Some kid involved in the chat gets some brilliant idea.
5. That idea gets carried out.
6. And whether this idea is for some stupid invention that will run on an infomercial for 4 months before they are debunked as defective, or for an amazing charity that helps some poor child, a life somewhere has been changed.
7. That changed life made a happy person.
8. Which made someone else's day.
9. And the joy spreads.
10. And it was all because of a french fry!
:) You can say it's stupid all you want, but think about it. Haven't most of the bad things that happened in your life worked out pretty good in the end? And if they didn't, that means there's a reason, and you should be thankful for what you have! And if neither of those apply to you, go to church! The power of God will seep through your downtroden soul and lift your spirits high!! Pray!! Get on those knees and PRAY!!!! Hear  the word!! God will save you!! He will never let you down! He'll catch you when you fall! And if you trip, He will hold your hand adnd lift you back up!! God is our King! =D

Have a nice day:) Pray before bedtime:)
