I had crushes on boys whom are now my friends or just acquaintances. I think my first 'crush' was on a fellow homeschool kid named Joshua. My sister and his sister teased us a lot though, and that was really embarrassing. My second childhood crush was a boy from down the road named 'Greg' and I mostly liked him because he was funny and confident.
I liked the boys who ran around playing outside all the time more than boys from church who pelted the girls with pinecones and snowballs after church when our parents were gabbing with one another.
My high school crushes were almost all mean to me, and I barely had any crushes at all in high school. I was the subject/object of their teasing, ridicule, and persecution. Several of those boys passed their prejudice against me on to their friends and their girlfriends, so I was teased by people I didn't even know and never interacted with before. This I endured for two of my three years of high school.
I was painfully reserved/self-conscious until my senior year when I finally had some friends who were unconditionally kind to me. Thank you Joneil, Nicki, Jenni, Aimee & Erin, and Tanya.
