Cheating Girlfriend…

Dear LRHS confessions–I have a problem. I think my girlfriend is cheating on me and I don’t know what to do. I, 16m, have been dating my girlfriend, 15f, for 6 months. It’s nothing too serious, but we did agree to be exclusive. Three days ago, I got a text from her asking if I wanted to hit up Panic Point. This sounds normal enough, but she knows I HATE scary things, I can’t even handle the lame Hallmark murder mysteries my mom likes. She immediately texted back all like “wrong number” but the way she worded the text was sus. “Hey, babe, want to go to Panic Point this Saturday?” Who is she calling “babe”!?! Also, she told me that she couldn’t come to my soccer game this Saturday because she has some “all day family reunion”.  I really like her, and I don’t want to lose her, but I also don’t want to be someones backup plan. Should I approach her about this or just ignore it? What should I do?

Response:

Hi, this is definitely something to look into. If you are sure that you agreed to be exclusive, then think back to see if there are any other warning signs. Did she ever blow you off last minute? Avoid certain topics? If the answer is no, then this could also be nothing. Think about how she talks to her friends. Some girls act flirty with their friends as a joke, and it could just be that. If it still bothers you, talk to her about your concerns. Hope this helps!

Update:

Thank you all so much for the replies. I thought about what you said, and I agree she does talk like that with her friends and shes never been untrustworthy before. I just could not shake the feeling that this was meant for some other dude. On Monday at school, I ended up asking her about her family reunion. She said that it was pretty short and ended around 5:00. I then asked her if she went to Panic Point. She stopped for a second and said that she did, but then tried to change the conversation. Before she was able to completely change the topic, I asked who she went with. She immediately became defensive and asked me why I didn’t trust her. I couldn’t get a word in before she stormed off to her class. It’s now Tuesday, and we haven’t texted at all, not even a good night or good morning. I think the whole conversation confirmed my fear. Even if she isn’t cheating, I don’t want to be with someone whos gonna crash out every time we have a little fight. 

 

Raisn Bandit…

Hey, LRHS news! I heard that yall are taking confessions, and I think I have a good one. Im graduating this year so I figured this would be my best opportunity to confess. For the past four years I have been hiding raisins around the school. Like Sun-maid raisins from a box. Freshman year, I had a bet with my friend that I wouldn’t be able to hide an entire pack of raisins around Mr. Broers’ English classroom without being caught. I, obviously won and for some reason continued to do it. I continued planting raisins in all of the nooks and crannies of room 240, and when it went on for a month, for some reason I decided I needed to expand this project. From there, I was hooked. I decided to hide raisins literally everywhere I could think of. I have been doing this for four whole years, and I haven’t been caught. Only one person knows that I have been doing this and they swore they wouldnt tell, so I am glad to get it off my chest.

Baby shower birthday party?

Should I be angry that my sister planned her baby shower on my birthday? So let me start from the beginning, my sister is 25 and expecting her first baby. Her baby shower is planned for January 10th, which also happens to be my 17th birthday. I am very happy for my sister and have been very supportive from the start. I have put out fires during her wedding, dealt with her bad temper when things don’t go her way, slaved over her gender reveal, and spent hours creating advice books and other little things for her to remember her pregnancy. Don’t get me wrong, I am very happy for my sister, but when she announced that her baby shower was on my birthday I was shocked and a little angry. She could at least have the decency to remember her only sisters birthday. Its not like this is a big birthday like my sweet 16 or my 18th birthday, but it would still be nice to have this day be about me. I talked to my mom about it and she said it wouldnt be worth mentioning because we didn’t want to deal with another tantrum. I ended up mentioning it in conversation and just said that I was kinda disappointed that I would have to spend my birthday taking care of my sisters party. She then had the audacity to call me a spoiled brat because I wanted to have fun on MY birthday. The shower is from 11 to 5:30 and I’ll still have homework to do so I wont have any time to hang out with my friends or do what I want to do. My entire day would be ruined. I apologized to her because I don’t want this to be a wedge in our relationship but I still don’t know whether I should be angry about my birthday being ruined or supportive of my sister and let it go. 

Seat setting squabble

Hey LRHS, so I drove my boyfriend’s car without his permission and I forgot to move the seat back to his usual setting. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for like 4 months now and his 2017 toyota corolla is his prized possession, I honestly think he likes his car more than he likes me. The other day I had to go to food lion to pick up some ingredients for this homemade double chocolate cake I wanted to try, but my car was being repaired at the shop so I obviously couldn’t drive it to the store. Anyways, the other day me and my boyfriend were hanging out at my house. He had had a big soccer game earlier that morning and was so tired so I told him he should get some rest. He was a bit unsure at first but before I knew it he was fast asleep laying on the couch next to me. I know I probably should have just asked him for his permission to drive his car but food lion was going to close in an hour because of the holidays and I really wanted to make that chocolate cake. When I realized my boyfriend was asleep I took his car keys and went outside to his car. His seat was so far back and very low too I could barely even reach the steering wheel and the gas pedals. I adjusted the seat so that I would be able to drive the car and then I left to go to the store. I came back to my boyfriends house and completely forgot about changing the seat back. Later  when my boyfriend went to drive me home he was very confused as to what happened to the seat. I told him that I drove his car and forgot to change the seat back. He was pretty upset about the thing, what should I do?

Response:

Hello! This is definitely an interesting situation, but I honestly wouldn’t worry too much about it. He can always just change the seat back, can’t he? As long as you didn’t wreck his car or change something that shouldn’t have been messed with, I don’t think it’s something worth stressing about and your boyfriend shouldn’t be that upset about it. If it’s really bothering you, just talk to him about it!

Apology from the Paper Airplane Pilot

Hi LRHS newspaper! I have something that I have to confess and I really hope that this confession stays hidden. You know those mini paper airplanes that have been showing up all over the school… like all over? The ones that are stuck to ceilings, desks, tables, etc? Im the one who started that trend here at Leesville. It started off as just a fun game when I was bored in my biology class one day. And then it started spreading around the whole school with other students doing it too. I don’t even know how it caught on so fast but ive been seeing these mini paper airplanes all over the school in the arts hallway, the multi-purpose room and even in random classrooms. It was funny at first especially considering I was the one who started it but now it’s starting to annoy even me if I’m being honest. I am literally not even kidding you when I tell you I have found them everywhere. Yes. And I mean everywhere. There was one day when I even found one in the bathroom. Oh and I found one in the cafeteria, which has a very high ceiling by the way. It is so tall I don’t even know how they get anything up there, let alone mini paper airplanes. I don’t even know how that’s possible but apparently it is. It’s like I can’t escape them at this point.. Please take this confession as an apology to the Leesville community.
