The Boy (Part Two)

The boy that my sister really likes has come up more frequently and it hasn't been in a superb way.

My sister had come up to me a few days ago, and with the look she had in her eye, I automatically knew something was wrong.

I don't know if anyone knows how heartbreaking it is to have your little sister come up to you and say "What do you do when someone breaks your heart?" When she said those words, I felt my heart sink to my stomach. She was on the verge of tears so I just hugged her. I didn't even know what to say to make her feel better. It felt as if my heart was more torn than hers to see her that way. In the moment, I didn't even want to ask why, or whom, I just wanted to hug her and tell her everything's going to be okay.

When she calmed down, she explained to me, without asking, that the boy she was talking too, wanted nothing but a friendship with her. He made her believe he really liked her and so my innocent little sister had fallen for it. When she told me that, I clenched my fist and she knew that I was angry. She tried to calm me down, but I just couldn't stand that someone had the power to break her heart. I've been in her place before and I know it's a horrible feeling and as much as I didn't want her to go through it, she did. I then realized I can't blame her for falling for it.

This boy had a lot of explaining to do, but he never really spoke up. I told my sister that no matter how hard it is, to stop talking to that boy! She's too young to date anyways. And that boy wasn't bringing any good vibes anyways.

A part of me wanted to look up websites to see what can help her and so I looked up "relationship advice" on Google and I started to look for a good website. Nothing.  So so looked up "relationship quizzes " just to see what would come up and my sister and I just started taking stupid quizzes off the cite. The questions and answers made her laugh so it kind of brightened her mood and made me really happy!

I love my sister and always will, she will continue growing learning and I will always be there to give her the best of my advice.

A Day In The High School Life

      My little sister got the opportunity to come with me for a whole day and go through my daily schedule at school; She missed a day of school and followed me around the whole day.
     The day before she was so nervous! Her nervousness was so bad to the point that the day of, she asked me if we could change plans and have her just go to her school but it was already set so she kind of had to at that point.
     When we were driving to school, she was freaking out and I had told her that she will be okay and that she's going to be with me, that it wasn't like she was going to wonder my school all by herself. When we got there, she said that when she comes to this school that she was going to get lost. She seemed so tiny in such a big school, yet she's taller than me?
     As the day went, she would walk in front of me and so she would be lost, but that was her own fault for not following me. She believed some of the teachers were rude, nice, and scary and she was so shocked with how much homework/ classwork they give me and she realized that high school isn't as easy and that these teachers of today expect a lot from us. It's funny because I was looking for research for my blog and there was an article that caught my eye on washintonpost.com it talked about a teacher shadowing a student for 2 days and was shocked with what she learned and maybe teachers don't know what we go through, sadly. Their expectations are sometimes way too high.
     She told me that her favorite part of the day was my third and fifth period because in third, it was just a really funny, productive day and in fifth period, I was learning Sign Language and she got to learn a little bit of that too.
     I told my little sister that she should enjoy her middle school years because those were the best two years of my life and high school can be a pain, so she should enjoy the easy stuff while it lasts! She's growing up and it makes me emotional but I know she can handle it.
