I'm a 13 year old girl at high school. My friends and I love to muck around with boys but sometimes, for some people it goes TOO far. I call my liking for guys Fun Love. And at my age I hope it just stays that way!

This poem isn't written about one of my experiences but of one of my friends. She recently met a guy that she loved and he did nothing but lead her on! He deliberately built up her hopes and laughed as he watched them tumble down again when she found out he didn't like her.

I have nothing against guys, but I do have something against the heartless, gutless ones who are too chicken to say the truth and would rather watch someone else get hurt when the truth finally does come out.

Some people don't believe that teen love is really love, some don't even believe it is possible. But believe me, everyone knows when they have found the one that they love, and my friend really did love this guy! She did not brag on about him as an obsession, yet she did not forget about him and only think of him when he was near. She only spoke of him in ways that a lover is spoken of and everyone who heard her speak of him knew that, too.

So to anyone who reads this poem, guy or girl, think about it and ask yourself if you are hurting someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt. I know that my friend didn't deserve it and neither does anyone else.

This poem is about how sometimes animals can be the best friend you've been looking for. Most people don't take enough notice of just how much animals devote themselves to our services. They don't understand how much love and protection they provide for us ALL. Animals are the most loyal living creatures ever made and why some people don't see that, I don't know. I am just one of the many lucky people who do see through their sharp teeth and long hair. When I see animals it is a natural reaction for me to want to show the affection that they are always willing to show us.

I'm writing this poem 15 days before my best friend leaves for Typee. I'm dedicating this poem to her hoping and praying that it will fix the fight that we are in the middle of. I don't want her to leave without saying Goodbye just because of a little argument that in her eyes isn't so little.

As the saying goes 'Good things come in small packages', sometimes the best things are said in the shortest of verses. This is about me and my best friend.
