Boys fighting for my love. Oh the drama. Dear troubled teen part 8

Good news. Someone was so pleased with their Dear Troubled Teen treatment first time around that they’ve come back for more. Amazing. Hit ‘see more’ to read about Emo Princess’s latest dilemma. Oh, and she used (a few) full stops this time. Huzzah!

heya there
another problem for you and ill put fullstops in this one after my last one “my friends a bloody liar” (thanks for the advice on that one it could be a big help xx

well anyway there are these two boys, and im not so sure but i think they both fancie me, and yes i know that sounds a little bit vain, but there both showing all the signs like really obviously eg: constantly trying to be close to me and trying to hug me all the time, thats not the problem though its the fact that they get really jelous of each other and have actually fought about this before.

I like both of them as friends like really close friends and the one maybe even a bit more than that but the other one can be really annoying because if i dont hug him he literally trips me up or pushs me over ( floors me) and i dont like it at all but he does not stop and im not gonna go back home just cuz of him and then when i have a go at him he gets really moody and jelous and goes home what should i do about it, i dont want them fighting all the time and getting jelous with eachother its pathetic so what should i do ???? xxxxx

(Full stop count: 1)

Dear Troubled Teen,

We’re glad to have been of service Emo Princess, that’s our sole purpose here at teentoday.co.uk. And thank you for your consideration with the addition of full stops on this occasion (although a few more and other forms of punctuation wouldn’t go a miss).

Having interpreted your latest problem, it sounds like quite the love triangle you have found yourself in. We’re all too aware that boys can display their affection in strange ways. While ‘pulling pigtails’ is often an example of this and seems fairly harmless, physically ‘flooring’ someone (as you put it) is not an acceptable way of saying, ‘I fancy you’. No wonder you prefer the other boy vying for your attention; he’s not beating you to the ground!

We suggest talking to both boys (confrontation is rarely enjoyable but usually does the trick) separately and telling the one who physically hurts you to stop and that you like him only as a friend.

This should see him back off for a while, leaving you unbruised and ready to tell the other boy how you feel.

Attention from boys should be enjoyable, but if it starts to become out of control and causes physical harm, it should not be accepted.

Good luck.

    As exciting as it is for 2 boys to be fighting over you, if one of them hurts you physically in any way you shouldn’t try to be wtth him. If you like the other guy, though, and he treats you well, go for it! Good luck! :D

    Hey there kaitlyn!

    It probably will be hard, but you should tell him that your friend was just goofing around. You don’t have to tell him to his face that you don’t want to kiss him. But if you do decide to tell him, tell him that your just not ready yet. You are in charge of you! :{D
