Boys Can Be Jerks (Not FI related)

Most of you know that my MOH/cousin was supposed to go to Uganda on a mission trip for a month, and get home 2 days before the wedding.  While I was excited for her to go, my mom was really nervous about her not getting back in time. 

I got an e-mail from her today saying: {guy from group who is the only one she knows} is a big huge jerk and i won't spend 23 hours on a plane with him or count on him to protect me in a 3rd world country. won't do it.

So, she's not going now.  While that does relieve some WR stress, flipside is the guy she mentioned was kind of trying to date her for a little bit, and she liked him and wanted to date him.  Not sure what's going one with that now.  They're both 19.  I don't miss boy drama.  At all.

ETA: Just got this from her: {he's dating the girl who was discipling me. and he tried to convince my friends at home that i'm an...unkind...woman. and that breaking up was way harder for him than for me} 

I'm too overprotective for this...it's a good thing they're 5 hours away.

    Bummer that she is going to miss the trip.  A few years ago I went to Kenya on a mission trip and it was such an awesome experience.  I hope she'll have another opportunity to do a trip like this someday.

    Now, about that boy.  You are right that boys can be jerks and he is lucky that you don't live closer (LOL).

    Wow, this brings back high school.

    Sorry you're having to deal with it. At least she talks to you about it, though.

    We both only have younger brothers, so we've kinda become more like sisters than cousins over the years.  Apparently the other girl told my cousin to stay postive because she's "a good catch..."  MOH is LOVING that one...her response?  "Bless your heart, sweetie, but I am neither a fish nor the flu."

    Oh drama.......how I dislike thee!!  That is too bad that she won't be going to Uganda (one of my life goals btw!!) but it sounds like it's not the best timing for her right now.  God's plans for us are never what we think!!

    My brain has shut down for the evening on drama and dumb people - so I have no idea what I just read on the initial post.  That's all I can say because I'm not comprehending lol.

    Aw, yeah, boys can do stupid things sometimes.  Of course us girls can do some too... usually overdramatizing stuff (I have done that a few times, I can think of some right now!!).  So sad she's going to miss the mission trip, but perhaps she will be better used at home??
