(girl) "Bye babe, I miss you already! I love you! wanna come out here with me?"

This was a conversation I witnessed during my spear while sitting at my locker. The boy's girlfriend was dropping her boyfriend of at his class. While the boy, who was already late for class and didn't want to be even more late was ready to enter his classroom, his girlfriend was keeping him from going in. As if it is not evident enough; this girl is experiencing clingy girlfriend symptoms. It really irritates me when girlfriends or boyfriends are so clinged on to their partner. It's as if one or the other can't stand to be separated. It is obvious that the boy himself in the conversation really just wants to get away from his girlfriend. As soon as the poor guy enters the classroom, the girl starts yelling in the silence of the halls and in front of his class of how much she already misses him. That is just extremely ridiculous. The sad part about this entire situation is that the girl actually thinks the guy feels the same way. She's not aware of the fact that the guy just wants to get away from her. I asked myself exactly what you were wondering; why doesn't he just break up with her? or tell her to stop being so clingy as if she can't live without him.
This situation reminded me of the recent popular Twilight series. Bella just can't find it possible to live without what she thinks is life itself, Edward. Perhaps Bella is even worse than the girl in the conversation. The fictional character and the girl's lives seem to revolve around a guy. In today's society, a lot of women believe that their life is over because they don't have 'the man'. Since when are women incapable of taking care of themselves and find it as a life-death situation if they don't have a man. Today men want to find women who respect themselves and love who they are. They want the type of women who can take care of themselves and be independent. What this girl in the conversation has shown is that she can't be independent and do anythingwithout her boyfriend. I didn't know there is a new addiction available out there besides drugs.If you know you cant live without a man in your life, then how about trying something new; living for yourself.
