It all started when I meet this boy named Dez. We started talking when I meet him through my best friend at her house and he came up to me and want to know my name and when I told him my name he knew who exactly who I was, because I knew his lil sister. After we found out about each other we started to like each other and from then we started to talk.
After a couple of months went by, we became very close to each other. Three months then passed and we were always together and people didn’t like that, so they started to make rumors about us. When the rumors started to get back to us, we started to argue a lot. Then one day after that we said we should separate.
Weeks after that happened, we found out that it was people hating on us and we got back together and said we wasn’t going to listen to what people had to say about us anymore.
Not long after that we got into a big argument because my cousin said she seen him with another girl, so when I approached him about it – of course, he denied it and said my cousin was lying, but he was the one who was lying but I ended up giving him one more chance.
After two years, we finally called the quits because it was too much for both of us. But now we both are friends to this day and will always be friends because everyone has there ups and downs and it took us two years to figure that out but we cool.
Yours truly,
Raven M.

The Loyalty of Shelkeia Green's Relationship
Well, it started when I was 12 years old. I met my boyfriend when I was coming out of my house and going to hang out. I saw my boyfriend sitting with all my play-brothers and he asked me my name and I told him. Ever since then, we have been going out. Then I got into some trouble when I was 14. I got caught with a gun at Mac High and the principal pressed charges on me. From there on, it seemed like I couldn’t stay out of jail
My boyfriend started to get mad at me because I kept going back to jail. So, we broke up for like a week and then we got back together. The judge kept sending me to group homes and I ran to my boyfriend house and was on the run for a long time. The last time I went to jail, he went too because he robbed more than one gas station and they gave him time.
So, we had to communicate through mail, because he was in jail and I was too -- but they stopped letting us send mail inmate to inmate. Now that I am out, I write him 24/7 and put money on his books. When he gets out, he’s going to change his life around. That's what I'm doing this time. I'm doing the right thing by not cutting him off and completing the program so I can have fun with my family and friends. Also, I go see my boyfriend in Santa Rita, where he's locked up.
I am surprised that our relationship has lasted this long. Why? Because we have had our ups and downs, but we always seem to pull it together. One thing that has made our relationship last is trust and the fact that we take the time out to express the way we feel towards what’s good or not right in our relationship. Also, what I think made him do all the stuff he did is because I was in jail and pregnant, so it made him stress out more. I told him that I was getting an abortion because I wasn’t settled or ready to take care of a baby. The good part about my relationship is my loyalty, especially right now as I wait for him to get out so we can be together and start on a positive level.

My Broken Heart
My first relationship was in 8th grade. I was happy for having my first love and that I had someone to share my feelings and my secrets. We were really happy together, but we had broke up once because one of my supposed friends liked him -- so she separated us. I was mad, but then he came back to me because he understood that I was the only person that he could be with. Everything was going perfect and we had stuck together. He was doing badly at school and I was doing good -- so I helped him move on and do better.
When we graduated from Middle School, we were still together -- but then he told me that he was leaving me because of the friend he had left me for during school. I was mad and I cried for days and didn't get over it until two or three months later. Her name is Stephanie and we were friends since 7th grade. After what happen I didn’t see her and I was so mad that I wanted to fight her. But, I realized that you should never fight for a guy.
I hadn’t seen him till the celebration of El Dia de los Muertos, but he didn’t said anything and I didn’t turn to see his face. I have seen Stephanie because we go to the same school, but I really don’t talk to her anymore and decided to forget things that happened back then. I realized that people have to move on, with someone or without. But when I think of it now, I really don’t care and have decided to move on.

My Confused Life
I remember when elementary school was just fun, and nobody worried about anything but being the first one in line or playing at recess. It wasn’t about having a boyfriend, fighting and choosing friends. In the fourth grade, when I switched schools and went to school in North Oakland, that’s when everything bad started happening. I was barely passing in school, and now that I think about it -- I was only in the fourth grade and all this started happening. The rest of my elementary was at that school and I had to pick the friends I hung out with: either the people that everybody wanted to hang with, or the girls who talk mess but don’t back it up. I had my first fight there because of something stupid.
When I went to the sixth grade everything was like a question mark. First, it was like I was the new one at the school so I had to try to fit in, and then all of a sudden my body started changing. I felt like everything in the world had to revolve around me. I would get all emotional when things wouldn’t go my way. Then my body wasn’t as developed as the other girls, so it was hard trying to have a boyfriend and I used to get teased about it. That’s when I started learning about sex and being pressured to do it.
Now I’m in the ninth grade and I feel like every year school is getting harder. Now, everything depends on the people you hang out with. If you hang with the people who do sexual things than everyone thinks you do too, and if you hang with people that talk behind other peoples back than you do, too. Now that I’m in high school I really have to start getting good grades and stuff, if I want to go to college. I don’t live in Oakland anymore, but I still go to school out here. So when my friends tell me to come to some party or another, my mom doesn’t let me because she says people get shot, jumped and drunk. Sometimes I get mad and take it out on teachers at my school. Then I come home and get yelled at again.
Last of all, BOYS. It's still kind of hard for me to get a boyfriend because my body is still not as developed as other girls at my school. Even when I do have a boyfriend, all they care about is sex, but luckily I’m still a virgin. Now, I have a boyfriend that’s not ready for sex just like me, and I guess we have a good relationship.
