“What should I do if I like 2 guys but there’s one that I know is bad for me? One of them has been in my life for a few years and I know I love him even though all he brings into my life is drama. After all this, I just can’t leave him alone. The second guy is brand new but I know he can bring me peace. What do I do?” – Anonymous Student

Dear Anonymous,

First, I would like to say thank you for reaching out to me, regarding what you should do in your situation. What you are going through might be

difficult and you are seriously torn on making a decision. I believe that when you are stuck with making a choice you need to ask yourself these questions: What do I want? What will make me happy? And, What is best for me, in the long run? Asking yourself these questions can help to change your perspective of the situation and help you discover what you truly want to do, whether it is finding out what you want from a partner or just who you want to become yourself. In relationships, it’s always important to stay true to yourself and to always know who you are, even out of the relationship. Getting wrapped up in love but if you start to lose who you are, then the relationship is no longer good for you.

With all of this in mind, you asked me “What do I do?” and I would say that exploring your connection with boy #2 is what I think is for the best, and will be better for you, that might not be the answer you were expecting, but if you know boy #1 causes conflict in your life, and if he does more damage than good, I believe that it would be best to end the relationship and look for the good in someone else, which could potentially be boy #2. If you stay with boy #1 your relationship with them has a chance of developing into something toxic or unhealthy for both of you making it even harder to leave the person when the relationship could possibly get worse.

This is just my opinion about your situation. If you decide to take my advice that is totally up to you. I hope everything works out the way you want it to.

Sincerely,
Ask Amy

About the Contributor

Amy Satsky, Reporter/Photographer

Hello! My name is Amy Satsky, I am a junior and a member of The Brahma Lariat. I am also involved in the yearbook as an editor and am a manager for our softball team. I enjoy spending time with friends and family as well as doing arts and crafts, cooking, and bingeing book series. I love being involved in school, staying busy and stressed. I plan to be really active in my senior year. Being a part of The Lariat makes me feel like I am representing the school. As a part of the first staff for The Lariat, I am hoping to get the program flowing as best I can, with great advice from our EIC, Adalyn Pohl. She has been incredibly helpful in getting the ball rolling on our newspaper. Her guidance has helped me be able to write articles better than I thought I could. Writing takes a lot of practice but the more I write the better I have become. I am looking forward to seeing my writing come to print soon and what that will be like. I am really excited for this year's staff and what we will become and create as a new class.
