508's Secret English Garden

Dear Jenny,

  I know you have been busy making our boyfriend’s gift recently, but I think it’s not correct to have a boyfriend in high school.  Having opposite sex friend is fine, but don’t let one of them become your boyfriend.

  Parents and teachers always tell you not to fall in love with others now.  I also have some advice for you.  First, having a date with your boyfriend keeps you from concentrating in schoolwork.  If you have a quarrel with each other, you’ll feel unhappy and won’t want to study.  Second, you can’t make money by yourself now.  When both of you take a trip, eat out, and go to movies, you’ll spend your parents’ money.  They will become extra and big expenses.

  Concentrating on studying and don’t think about boyfriends.  You’ll find better boyfriends in college.

Yours,

Joey.

Dear Betty:

  I heard you made a boyfriend the other day. I think that making a friend

of opposite sex at the high school phase is unwise.

  First of all, all of your friends will feel being left out when the

relationship between you and your boyfriend become closer. It is

inevitable that your emotion might be up and down like taking Roller

Coaster and the controller is on your boyfriend’s hand.

  In addition, Spending more time keeping company with your family is

getting much more important. Because the time to leave your home is coming.

It will be more difficult for you to go home and share the happy or sad

events with them.

  Finally, breaking up with him is anyone’s guess. I hope you could take

my advice and turn your mind to the right thing.

                                               yours,

                                                      Cathy

Dear Annie                                            980401

        Recently I heard that you have a boyfriend. I was very astonished, but I want to share my opinion with you. Actually, I disagree to have a boyfriend at this time.

        First, making a boyfriend causes you can’t concentrate in your study and usually got bad grades, because you gave a boyfriend and you would keep him in mind every time

and desire to see him. Second, you will lose chances to meet new friends, especially the opposite sex. Because if your boyfriend is a jealous person, you have to be careful！

        We just a student and we are not mature enough. When we face the problems, maybe we can not deal with it well. Most importantly, you should make a effort to get into good college.               

Dear Mr. Chung:                                               4,5,09

  I’m glad you finally have a long-standing girlfriend. Though, mom and dad didn’t present their feelings, I totally support you.

  I have seen your change since you’re dating with her. Your bad temper has improved a lot and you quit your bad habit, such as, smoking. It does you good. Furthermore, you start to think for others, that’s really thoughtful! The best is, she can make you study. In fact, I have never seen you study!

  For these reasons, I am sure it is fine for you to have a girlfriend and I hope you won’t let us down.

My dear parents:

I have to tell you that I'm falling love with Calvin. I know it's unacceptable to you,but I hope you can forgive my behavior.

Maybe it's a chance to learn how to along with the opposite sex. Experience is the best teacher. After all,it's inevitable that I will work with man,even marry a man.

Besides,each life only goes once. Once the youth goes away,it would never come again. I'm hungry for enjoying my youth,because I know if now I follow you,I will regret the way you choose for me one day. Maybe the ending won't be good. At least I decide it on my own. Wit once bought is worth twice taught. No matter how the ending will be,I can learn a lesson from my choice.

Most of all,I know study is the duty for students. I will keep my level. If I can't do my duty to study well,I will give up my romance.

So,dad and mom,please respect my option.

                                                                                                           Yours,

                                                                                                            Sunny                                                         

Dear Noname:                                              April 1^st

  Every girl dreams of having a boy friend at teenage but it isn’t suitable for us now.

  First, the more time we spend on your boyfriend, the less time you spend on your family and friends. Once you break up with your boyfriend, you will be lonely and isolated.

  Second, you are too innocent to protect yourself. There are a lot of guys who look nice without but awful within. They may cheat you or force you to do everything for them. The best way to keep away from the risks is not having a boyfriend.

  Regardless of how sweet the love is, you should spend your youth on exploring the world instead of a teenage boy.

                                           yours, Tina

Dear Tina ,                                                 March

  I heard that you recently had an opposite sex friend. But I want to tell you that having intimate relationship with someone is not good for high school students.

  There are some reasons to support my views. First, falling in love will make a great impact on your scores. You will easily lose concentration in the class when you think of him so that you won’t pay attention to your homework. You will be absent-minded when you do everything. Next, it will waste a large amount of your money and time. For example, having a date costs you lots of money and thinking how to dress up also costs you time. Last but not least, you will put your heart and soul into it so that you will spend little time to stay with your parents and friends. As a result, the relationship between you and your parents will be not close.

  I wish that you could look before you leap and accept my opinions. It will be the best choice for you.

                                               Yours,

                                                Kate

Dear Kathleen ,

       I know you admire Patrick and want to be his girlfriend. But look at you. You paid too much attention to him and neglected your studies. Your grades are getting poor, and you go farther away from your dream.

       Furthermore, we are still too young to have a mature mind. If he falls in love with other girls, you may be hurt deeply and have no energy to do anything.

       So take my words, and concentrate on your learning is what we should do in senior high school life.

                                                                    Yours, Adela

Dear Stella,

     About the problem you want to make a boyfriend, I suggest that you should concentrate on your studies instead of having a boyfriend. It’s an important period of your life now. Don’t let a passerby in your life disturb you. You would be tired to keep the relationship with him after few days of dating.

     Maybe he isn’t as perfect as you thought. You will treat him with all your heart but he might betray you with an affair. You will only feel negative emotions after he leaves you.

    In addition, to keep this intimate relationship costs lots of money and wastes much time. You don’t have the money nor the time to concentrate on what you should do.

     Consequently, I think you should take my advice, ”Just treat him as an opposite sex friend.” I hope you can think twice about it.

                                            Yours,

                                                   Joyce

    Dear Laura,

      I heard that you made a boyfriend recently. I am so surprised at this and want to give you some advice. You are a high school student, and the most important thing for you should be studying. You should concentrate on schoolwork and strive to get admission to a good university.

      Besides, both your physiology and mentality haven’t matured. Maybe it will be better for you to make some normal friends than a boyfriend.

      Think over these advice. I hope finally you can understand that being in love with someone isn’t an urgency in high school phase. There are more chances to meet different people in the future.

                                                       Yours truly,

                                                        Irene
