Hi Bubby,
I really no one to talk to about this. I have a boyfriend, but every time I'm around him I get really freaked, you know, like nervous. I can't kiss him or anything until I feel comfortable around him. I really feel like I have made a mistake saying 'yes' to go out with him.
P.S. I have been out of contact with him all summer, and being the age I am, 13, I have to go back to school and face himn soon!
Please help, I'm nervous and I'm starting to get, in a way, nervous breakdowns. I can't tell my friends about my problem because they are type of people who are comfortable around everyone. I've always been shy and cautious about who I like. He's kind of a bad boy, not completely, but I can hug him and talk to him a little bit but..... PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanxs,
Nervous Kinda
Dear Nervous,
At 13 it is very normal to be a little shy around boys. Step lightly, keep your eyes open and watch what the other girls do. They may be doing the wrong things and you can clear these things up by taking your Mom into your confidence. Girls who think they know everything are all heading for a fall. Ask Mom and she will surely help you over the tough spots and make sure you grow up to be a beautiful, happy young lady.
Try it - You will like it.
All the best.
