Dear Serife,

I can relate to you on so many levels, you don’t even know girl.

The thing is, just like Joe said its hard for guys to act ‘gentleman-ly’ especially around girls they feel attracted out. And when they are with their other teenage friends, they don’t wanna be the odd one out by not laughing at indecent jokes. (your friend who laughed)

Now I ain’t saying that you overreacted or need to “control” your emotions. It is OK when you rightfully felt hurt and dejected. I hate it when guys comment about me in that way too…it kinda breaks me. Next time, a thing like that happens I just want you to pause for a moment and breath in and out. Understand that it isn’t your fault and they are gonna say stuff no matter what we wear or do so its fine. We can’t control them. What we can control is our attitude towards the situation. As for your friend, distance yourself from him until you feel ok.
