How Girls Mature

Different perspective on boys in highschool.

IMG_5955Throughout my journey of highschool, my mentality about men has extremely evolved! I have noticed younger classmen girls have a different theory about how to talk to boys than older classmen girls do.

“I don’t want to be tied down by no guy. I do consider myself to be hard to get and hard to approach because that is how I present myself, like someone who only dates hot guys,” Freshman Pamela Cruz said.

Freshman year I was very similar to Pamela as well as my friends, and my life just revolved around finding the right guy. Now that I’m a junior, I don’t even have time for a guy in my life because I have set my priorities straight.

“I was never the most attractive as a kid. Freshman and sophomore year all I wanted was a serious relationship. As a senior my education comes before everything, and I find it ridiculous that I used to even spend my time more on boys and less on education when I was a lower classmen,” Senior Becca Wood said.

As girls get older in their high school life they realize boys are just not worth their time, especially the boys who only want to play “games”.

“My grades have gotten tremendously better after I started coming to school for education instead of coming to school to impress boys,” Wood said.

I had a reality check at the end of my sophomore year when my grades were horrible, and when I re-evaluated my year I came to recognition that I wasted my sophomore year on boys!

“My grades are average. I don’t think me talking to boys is the cause of this because I have always been a average student,” Cruz said.

I am so glad I matured before senior year, because if I were to waste my junior year of highschool too, I would regret another poor decision. I think the main thing to remember is in high school studies should be your first priority, and you don’t have to go searching for that guy because he will come to you when the time is right.
