Two Way Street!

Chocolate + Love Movies + Tears + Junk Food + Broken Heart = Break ups

I have had plenty of breaks ups and broken hearts throughout the four years of high school. At a young age of 14 I walked into this high school ready to become independent and more mature. From that young stage of 14 through the older mature stage of 18 I still haven’t found out the secret of long lasting relationships. The book, Two Way Street, explains how Courtney and Jordan are totally in love then a tragic break up.  The book delivers a great message; there are two sides to every breakup. One person is not the fault of a break up even though it seems that way. Turns out, Jordan has a secret or two that he's not telling Courtney. And it has everything to do with why they broke up, why they can't get back together, and how, in spite of it all, this couple is destined for each other. Jordan doesn’t want to lose Courtney so finally tells her the secret about their parents. Courtney is extremely upset with her father and Jordan from keeping this away from her. Courtney starts taking out her anger on Jordan when this secret is also affecting his life in the same way. The book shows us that communicating with your significant other and being honest with them is the best policy. Understand both sides of the story and have trust in your partner!

The Best Advice for Relationships:

Communication-Always communicate thoroughly with your partner! Communicating a lot will help you understand each other’s feelings.

Trust-Always trust your partner! You have no reason not to trust them unless they have done something that is untrustworthy.

Respect-Treat your partner with the highest respects! Treat them how you want to be treated and respect their values and beliefs.

Honesty-Be honest with your partner they need to know the truth! Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy!

Love-Love your partner unconditionally! Remember to show your love to each other once in a while! (;

MEN- Do not leave the toilet seat in the up position!

Break Ups! ):

Patient: Courtney McSweeney

Sitting down with Courtney on the couch talking about the difficulties she has been going through, I have noticed that she is very emotion about the topic of her boyfriend. In the past Courtney has always wanted to talk about her boyfriend and how perfect their relationship was going until today! Once she explained her difficulties, I asked her about Jordan, her boyfriend, but she did not want to say a word. We talked for a good hour and finally she said that talking about her and Jordan’s break up. She explained the story about how Jordan has an Internet girlfriend and how she still loves him.  Courtney informs me that in 3 day she will be driving to college with Jordan.

            I told Courtney that relationships are very difficult and complicated! I explained to her that maybe she should talk to Jordan and find out some of the reasons for the break up. I told Courtney that the car ride to college would be the perfect timing to work out the differences and learn the reasoning. With the information she has told me I feel like Jordan is still in love with Courtney but something fishy made them break up but I have no idea who that would be. I will need following check ups to research more. I really hope that this trip to college will help the two and not kill them!

I, Dr. Kristyn Arlian have diagnosed Courtney McSweeney with relationship break up syndrome.

Prescription: I would like her to have endless amounts of tissues and tears. Take twenty pieces of chocolate at least every hour. Three days of sweats, t-shirts, and romantic movies. Lots of junk food and girlfriends are always a bonus! This diagnose should progressively get better but give it 3 weeks or so till you are completely ready to go.

I would like to see Courtney back on June 18, 2012 for her check up.

Dear Abby.....

Dear Abby,

I need help with a boyfriend problem that I have encountered. I have been dating this guy named Jordan for almost a year and everything was going great until I told him that I loved him and all he said was thank you! What was I suppose to do? I thought he loved me but I guess not. Now that I told him how I felt, it is awkward between us and he tries to avoid me! I feel bad for telling him that but I just was caught up in the moment and my feelings were there! Do you think that he loves me or wants to break up with me?

Your advice it greatly appreciated!

--Courtney

Dear Courtney,

There are many possibilities for your situation and I am not sure how he is feeling! I think the best solution is to sit down and talk about your feelings with him! He could have been shocked that you said that or maybe he feels the same way but can’t express it. The other possibility is that he doesn’t want to settle down or he is being pressured by someone to break up with you! There are endless situations that could happen but I think that you need to have a one on one conversation and discuss where you guys want this relationship to go! I hope that my advice to you is helpful and your problem turns out in the best way possible.

Good Luck Courtney!

Zzzzzzzzzzzz(:

“Excuse me; have any of you guys seen Kristyn?” said my mother to my family that was visiting in the living room. Not a reply to be heard but instead a stampede of family looking all over my grandparents house. After tearing through the whole house and still no sign of Kristyn everyone headed outside. Everyone screaming and yelling while looking in every hide and seek hiding spot, but still there was no sign of Kristyn. Now at my grandparents house they had a HUGE garden and I loved eating carrots when I was a wee little girl. With the adults running like chickens with their heads cut off my older brother, Brandon decided to take a break and go eat a carrot. In the meantime my mother is in tears thinking that she lost me or someone took me. While Brandon was wandering through the carrots he saw this pink hump with my cool Barney light up tennis shoes. Brandon stands there and pulls the carrot leafs aside and sees a blonde little girl around the age of 4 sleeping. After my brother realized that it was me, he ran to tell my mom that he found me. My mom runs behind him until she hits the carrot patch and sees my pink bottom sticking up in the air. She yells at my family to tell them that she found me. My mom wakes me up and then carries me into the house and puts me in my bed!



LIAR...You're a dang liar!

LIAR…

Liar….

liar…

Yes y’all I am a LIER, there ya have it! I just lied my way through court and that rude Atticus knew I was. Mary and Joseph he was questioning me with these big words that I didn’t even understand! I was so confused and scared. Daddy made up this silly story that was to hide his mistake and he told me I must obey and stick with the story. Every time that Atticus guy said something I forgot everything I was suppose to say!  I knew this was a bad idea y’all and I really didn’t want to do it but my father is a very scary man. I just want out of this dumpy house and start a new life with a nice gentleman, like Tom. Yes, I asked Tom to come to the house because I have a huge crush on him but daddy would never approve, so I had to find away to be alone with him. I just don’t want daddy to be mad and start throwing’ fists and all. I am getting good at dodging those cannons but this time I swerved right into it and he punched me straight in the eye. Yes, y’all I lied under oath but I had to or my daddy would take me into the woods and beat me till I was all bruised up. I know I am doing an awful thing to Tom but if I want to live to my 19^th birthday I got to keep my daddy happy! Y’all let me tell you something, don’t lie like I am doing it is bad and it is an awful thing to do! Just be up front and tell people the truth. I wish I could do that. Oh…ohh gosh daddy is home yelling my name…where can I hide? I guess I can’t I will just have to face that fists. I just pray he doesn’t hurt me to back cause I must go to court again tomorrow!

Good bye for now…hopefully I will see you soon…I hope…

Sincerely,

Mayella

Fear…the dreadful words…College Loans!!!

Wow, senior year has flown by and graduation is on its way. My year has been filled with laughter, smiles, tears, arguments, and fun! It all started in November, when EVERYONE I ran into asked me what I plan to do next year. I dreaded that question not because I don’t want to go to college but college comes with the words COLLEGE LOANS! If you aren’t familiar with the terms then you are a LUCKY person!

Dictionary Definition

College-an institution of higher learning, especially one providing a general or liberal arts education rather than technical or professional training.

Loans--the act of lending; a grant of the temporary use of something. (YIKES!)

I have a fear of college loans! I don’t want to be in debt for the rest of my life. That is scary! I have just encountered this fear because I now have to grow up (a little). Taking out loans scares me because college is SO expensive; I could be paying them off till I am the age of 35. Although this is a fear of mine, I think it is a good fear because hopefully I will manage my money and work hard to stay out of a huge amount of debt.
