To the 9th grade girl with a crush since 6th grade: It’s OK, you’ve done SO WELL in merely being brave enough to let the guy know/understand that you like him. That is such a challenge for SO many people. Some people have probably learned of your crush and they have added regard for you merely for your being/SEEMING so comfortable with others being aware of it. Just keep living 9th grade life with your chin up, and the confidence you exude will draw a great guy to you before too long. (tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to resist the crazy things we do when we are SO saddened by not appealing to ONE particular person, OF the sorts which cause us to appeal less to everyone else too)
