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.
