Crushed

Remember when you were a teenager and had a crush on someone older, how far did that crush go?

For me, it was a matter of just talking incessantly about how wonderful the person was and turning beetroot if the person in question looked my direction. And even at that point, I felt that I was crazy to behave that way. I mean, after all, the other person, no matter how wonderful, no matter how cute, was still just a fellow human being.

But I say all that with 20/20 hindsight.

I found out today how far crushes could extend and how delusional our young can be. Having a crush on someone older is one thing. Creating whole fantasies about the person reciprocating is another thing. It is of great concern that this person could do great harm on herself and to the people around her, including the one she claims to be deeply involved with.

The delusions come thick and fast when she claims he blows hot and cold because he is unable to face up to his feelings for her. When told that a) he is too old for her b) It is against the unwritten code in school, her reply was that perhaps he was waiting for her to leave the school and its rules.

No two ways about it. The girl is few sandwiches short of a picnic basket.

Of course, at the same time, we feel sorry for her. It sucks to have a such a big crush. But then again, she weaved all these fantasies all by herself, so what to do? The only way to burst her bubble will kill her or cause her to wreak destruction as we all know, Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned...
