Dear Dish-It, Should I Dump My Guy?

Advice for Teens About Dating

Dear Dish-It, is here to whisper "ttyl after I've thought about this some more".

Dear Dish-It,

I don't know what to do about my boyfriend. He acts like my father. He tells me what kind of music to listen to and he never lets me do what I want. This is the fifth time that I'm going out with him and I want to break up with him again, but I don't want to make a bad decision. If I break up with him, this will be the last time we go out and what if we are meant to be? I don't want to screw things up. I kind of want to play the field too.

Dear foxyangel33,

So, why is this the fifth time you've gone out with this dude? Could it be his controlling ways? There is no reason why you should let your boyfriend boss you around - that's what you have parents for. From your letter, you don't sound like you're ready for any sort of relationship, least of all with someone who acts like a big bully. Follow your gut instinct and let this dude go. If you are "meant to be," it'll work itself out at the right time - which is not now. You definitely don't need this dude in your life right now.

Foxyangel33, you should dump this guy because he doesn't have the right to boss you around. Unless of course you feel like you are in love, than you should give it some time.

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
