         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey, I think you should break up with Marc considering that Anna likes Marc, he isn’t making time for you, and there are many benefits to being single. According to you and Marc's schedules, Marc was completely free from Tuesday-Thursday and even had lots of free time during the days he was doing stuff. Even though he has all this free time he hasn’t reached out to you to spend time together, showing he doesn’t see you as a priority. Secondly, according to statements, Anna is “good friends with Marc” but also “she actually likes him as well.” This is suspicious because Anna knows that you and Marc are together, yet she still decides to like him. Also, according to text messages on your phone, he decided to hang out with his friends and Anna at the bonfire instead of bringing you along even when you offered to go see him at Matt’s house, whom you don’t even like: “I do but I wanted to hang out with my friends too. Why don’t you hang out with Sara or something?”&nbsp; If he really liked you, he would’ve brought you with him without you asking. Finally, according to Seventeen Magazine there are many pros to being single such as having the “time to do a million things” and being able to learn “exactly who you are.” Ending things with Marc would be both smart, and beneficial for you.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Good afternoon, when deciding how to address your relationship with Marc from here on keep in mind the complicated factors of time, age, respect.&nbsp; You’re too young to be in a relationship right now which may be why the relationship has so many problems. Seventeen magazine gives “10 Reasons Being Single in Your Teens is the Best”, two of them being “You have to do a million things” &amp; “You’re learning exactly who you are”. Being a teenager in high school is already very difficult with college prep, figuring out your future and yourself therefore relationships just add another layer of stress (source C). Also, Marc doesn’t want to spend time with you when you plan time for him which is disrespectful. In the messages from your phone, you texted him “should I just meet you at Matt’s after my game?” and he responded with “I guess…I do but I wanted to hang out with my friends”. Marc does not respect you because he doesn’t make time for you and prioritizes his friends over you which is disrespectful (source E). Also, Anna uploaded a photo that shows your boyfriend Marc with another girl on his back, with the caption “Me and my fav guy” &amp; “No matter what, he’s always got my back! (Or… I have his? LOL” &amp; “Love him”. Having a girl that has romantic feelings for him post a picture of them together with the caption “my fav guy” and “love him” is disrespectful to you (source G). You shouldn’t have to deal with Marc’s disrespect especially at this age instead you should focus on you and your education, which already occupies most of your time. The fact that most of your time is already occupied you still attempted to make time for Marc, and he declined to see you which is disrespectful.&nbsp;Therefore you should break up with him and focus on yourself and school.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly. With all the effort you put in for you and Marc’s relationship: is it worth it? What effort does he show back? All this stress put on you as a teenager isn’t healthy, and I personally believe leaving Marc will be the best thing for you. For starters, we’ll talk about the statements made on him. Apparently, he’s dated 6 people in the last YEAR alone. This shows a lot about his character, don’t you think? On top of this, his best friend Anna supposedly likes him. A person that values their relationship would cut ties from that, ASAP. He’s also a flirtatious person apparently, and once again as a person who is in a relationship, that is not acceptable (Source B). Carly, he hasn't shown any commitment to the relationship, beginning with him practically pushing you to the side. He had nothing scheduled according to his schedule. You are taking time out of your day to connect with him. This appears to be rather one-sided. Also absent is the element of trust. He's heard tales from somebody who wishy-washy about you spending two nights with John. Yet you were doing what you were intended to accomplish with your life. As you were at “Youth Group (carpool w/ John)”, and “Study for financial algebra test with Sara, Anna, and John” Regrettably, Marc plainly does not understand. (Source A). Secondly, the Instagram post girl. He was so pressed to keep up with them girls that supposedly liked him. As Anna caption, “Me and my fav guy at Matt’s bonfire last night. No matter what, he’s always got my back!”. Your girlfriends must’ve not responded to Sara. They were all hugged up and Anna on her. Showing how he decided to noy spend time with you but with other females. Make it make sense (Source G).<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Carly, we need to talk. I’m one of your closest friends, we’ve been through everything together. So, what I’m about to say isn’t to hurt or attack you, I just want to help you the in best way I can. You and Marc just aren’t good together anymore. It isn’t you really it isn’t. It’s Marc. Firstly, he doesn’t spend time with you anymore…I’ve seen your text messages with him, “Sounds like you don’t want me to???”- Carly “I do but I wanted to hang out with my friends too” – Marc (Source E) and you just aren’t his first priority anymore. There is no reason that you shouldn’t be able to hang out with his friends with him. You’re so busy all the time your schedule is packed with basketball and studying, (Source A) while he practically has all the time in the world. Yet he chose too deliberately avoid you hanging out with him and his friends. That by itself is bad, but not the worst thing in the world. What really makes it a deal breaker is that when he went to Matt’s place, Anna was also there, and we both know why that’s an issue. He chose to hang out with another girl who obviously likes him, “#lovehim @Marcman” (Source G) with his other friends, while rejecting hanging out with you, his girlfriend. Additionally, it’s just not worth dating him… Right now, in your teen years, you should be free instead of worrying about a guy that would rather hang out with his friends than hang out with you. Not to mention the financial cost it takes to be with Matt, a magazine listing the reasons why being single is the best says that “you’re saving a ton of money] when single (Source C). You know I love you I’m telling you this for the best.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly, we've been meaning to talk to you regarding your relationship with Marc. Based on the recent issues you and Marc have been facing, you and Marc should break up because the attention you give him is not reciprocated, as well as the fact that he does not trust your true intentions. For starters, you have a busy schedule every day, and conversely Marc is free for majority of the week. Yet, he still does not make the time for you (A)! In other words, this is a one-sided relationship because you make the effort to make time for him, while he does not do the same. Secondly, he prioritizes his friends more than you! Based on the text messages between you and Marc, it shows that he would rather hang out with his friends than you, and the he treats you like a second thought. Marc said, in messages between the both of you, " I do but I wanted to hang out with my friends too... Why don't you hang out with Sara or something? We have date night tomorrow so we can spend time together then" (E). This just shows that he does not put in the effort to spend time with you, and does not consider how you feel when he goes out without you. Especially, since you were willing to go out to Matt's bonfire, despite your distaste for Matt. Not only that, Marc does not place enough trust in you. Lindsay spread a rumor saying that you cheated on Marc, and Marc believed it without even consulting you. According to Danielle to Marc, "I was told by Lindsay that Carly was cheating on you with John. But you know how Lindsay can be..." Then Anna told Danielle that Marc said that "he is convinced that Carly is cheating on him because Carly has been with John for the last two nights" (B). You should also consider the fact that Anna likes Marc, and for those two nights you were at youth group and studying (A). Then there is also proof from Sara's snapchat at exactly 8:25 PM, you were studying with Anna, John, and Sara (D). With these things considered, we truly believe that Marc is not right for you given that he doesn't make an effort and lets his paranoia consume him!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Carly, &nbsp;<br><br>I am sending you this message to inform you of recent events that suggest you and Marc should unfortunately break up. When deciding which factors influence your choice in either remaining or staying with Marc, you should consider that Marc does not create quality time to spend with you, he is too flirtatious with other girls, and you can be saving money being a single individual. Your schedule demonstrates that you are busy for all the days of the week. Marc’s schedule shows that there is a plethora of opportunities for Marc to spend time with you. For instance, you have “Church” on Sunday and “6pm B-ball game” on Tuesday. During this time, Marc is free and could have reached out to hang out with you to strengthen the relationship. You have practice, basketball games, and must study for the entire week. On the other hand, Marc’s schedule is essentially empty, yet he does not try to spend quality time with you. What does this suggest? He does not care to acknowledge nor hang around you. You juggle around extracurricular activities, sports, schoolwork, and your personal life. Breaking up with Marc would be in your best interest since you could prioritize your energy on to productive work. Not only does breaking up with Marc allow you to have more free time, but if you were to end things with Marc, you could be spending less money. The melting pot menu serves a variety of foods to either individual or couples. The price for an individual is much less than for a couple.&nbsp; The menu from Melting Pot provides evidence as to how you could spend money when being a single person. For instance, you could treat yourself to the Melting Pot for $47.95. On the other hand, if you were to remain a couple with Marc, the bill would be at least $95.95.(The Melting Pot Menu) Not to mention that one must pay a generous tip. This goes to show that if you were to break up with Marc, your future restaurant bills would be inexpensive. Also, in Anna’s recent Instagram post we have seen that Marc and Anna have been becoming very close friends. He is spending more time being with his friends than being with you. In the picture Anna had become very flirtatious with Marc hanging out at the bound Fire. As you can see in her latest post comments, Anna is now best friends with Marc. For example, “Me and my fav guy at Matt’s bonfire last night. No matter what, he’s always got my back! (or… I have his? LOL) #bff #bestie #fall #lovehim.”(Instagram) Over the Bonfire, Marc has been flirting with Anna while brushing you off, acting like nothing is happening between them. While you are trying your best to connect and spend as much time with him, he does the contrary.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly,<br><br></div><div>I heard about you and Marc’s “situation-ship”, and I want to help you out. I know you are Marc have been together for 6 months and you feel like something is off ever since he wanted to go to that Bonfire. I’ve thought about it, and I think it’s best to just focus on yourself and break up with him. Coming from your best interest at heart, I think you should consider breaking up with Marc because you show so much affection and interest into him, and he doesn’t reciprocate the same energy.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Marc doesn’t appreciate you; he doesn’t show that he is interested in your relationship. BY looking at your schedule I noticed that despite being so busy, you still take the time to plan dates while juggling all your activities like having a surprise date night for him on Saturday, showing that your care and are making a conscious effort. However, Marc continues to not support you at basketball games, categorize your dates as “hang outs”, and leave for a party 1 hour early instead of waiting for the end your basketball game (Source A). Speaking of the party. I also saw the messages; I was appalled at his dismissive and emotionless reaction. In my opinion, Marc would rather hang out with his friends then spend time with you, his girlfriend, he even suggested that you do something else instead of going to the party you were supposed to attend together. Marc is classless and a bad guy, which you don’t deserve (Source E). Not only to mention, for Saturday, you were planning to have a surprise date with Marc. The restaurant, “Melting Pot” is a high class, 4 course meal. Not to mention the expensive cost of it is not only for yourself but as a couple. The cost “Per Couple $95.95” and even individual was nearly $50! As a teen, you want to show acts of love and affection but you’re putting in a lot of money for just some boy you’ve been with for 6 months. This is a lot of money that can be used for yourself or even used for something important. As a girl still learning and exploring life and don’t want to put in effort like spending tons of money for a boy who doesn’t care (Source H).<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly, you should break up with Marc because he’s not the one and he’s playing you. Now I know you’re not going to believe me just because I’m saying his, so here’s proof! He knows that you didn’t do anything with John, because Sara posted you on her story and it said “Anna, John and I (Sara) are having fun watching Carly do all of the studying for financial algebra while we snack on cheese fries” as her caption. We both know you weren’t doing anything, but Marc should trust you before listening to Danielle anyway! Danielle is known to be a gossip queen according to Seven Magazine, but she’s also close friends with Anna, who likes Marc, who is also her best friend. Danielle could be telling him for Anna. Also in Anna’s Instagram post she’s on his back. Lindsay is in the comments, saying she took the picture and Anna is flirtatious saying that he’s her “fav guy at Matt’s bonfire”. Please leave him, on top of that multiple people were saying that he hasn’t had a real relationship since the 10<sup>th</sup> grade, along with him being in 6 relationships within the last year.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Carly, you should break up with Marc because is more interested in doing his own thing than being in a committed relationship. Anna is your friend, and she is Marc’s best friend which is fine but word around is that she actually likes him. It’s a little suspicious that she chose to go to Matt’s bonfire knowing that Marc was going to be there, and she knew you were upset that you weren’t invited, and she posted a picture calling Marc, “[her] fav guy,” which comes off as flirty (Instagram). Marc is also knowing to be a “major flirt,” and he has dated six people in the last year. That seems pretty friendly to me because he’s managed to date 6 people in one year meaning he gets around a little (Statements). His only serious relationship was when he was younger, and maybe since he is older with other influences, he could very well want to have fun during his older years of high school. Also, Marc brushed your feelings off when he dismissed you wanting to hang out with him at Matt’s. He wanted to hang out with his friends, and was gave a very dry, “I guess” when you said if you should go to Matts (Text Messages). He disinvited you and told you to go hang out with your friends, and plus he didn’t even come to your game that day which isn’t very supportive.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly, the reason I am sending this text message is to prove you that you should break up with Marc. Marc is more interested in hanging out with his friends than spending time with you. There are many things you must come to realization that he does not love you enough, I have reviewed all the text messages, conversation you have had with your friends, and posts you have made on Instagram. One of the factors for you to break up with him is because he preferred to spend time with Matt besides you, around 3:47pm you asked him “should I meet you at matt’s after my game?” (Source E) you were excited to see him, however, he gave you a dry response meaning that he was not willing to try to see you and that he did not want to see you, he preferred to spend time with his friends. You are always making time to see him, but he can’t make 10 minutes to hang out with you, you are spending a lot of money by taking him to a fancy restaurant (Source A &amp; H). Many girls think that Marc is kind and “cute”, making many other girls fall for him and we don’t know if he would have attractions towards other females he sees/talks to. Also, Sara describes Marc “to be absolutely stunning. He’s a major flirt, thou” (Source B). You deserve more than what he is giving you, you need to be respected and you need to feel like you can trust him, not trying to figure what he doing with friends or worrying if he is talking with another girl. <br><br></div><div>Thank you, I hope you take this message into a consideration.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Carly, listen to us when we say this, you deserve better. There are a few things that everyone knows: Anna likes Marc and is suspiciously close to him, “Marc is a major flirt”, and Lindsy told Marc that you’re cheating on him with John (which obviously isn’t true) so he wants to break up with you. We know you don’t deserve this treatment though. For example, you said you loved him after 1 week which is kind of weird, but we love the enthusiasm (B). Now don’t get us wrong Danielle isn’t the best source for gossip with how much she exaggerates, but she knows everything that goes on in the school and she’s not the only person talking about Marc.<br><br></div><div>I mean Carly let’s be real when saying that between you and Marc, you have more going on. While you have things like “youth group on Wednesday” and planning a veryyyyyy expensive “surprise date for Marc on Sunday” Marc is doing nothing. He works one day a week at McDonald’s and on your surprise date, his schedule says “hang w/Carly” along with a question mark. Like come on he’s clearly not on your level and you need to find a person who can not only keep up with you but love you just as much as you would(A).&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Along with everything else let’s look at these DMs. Marc is completely unenthusiastic when he’s texting you and this kind of energy isn’t good in a relationship. Not only is he unenthusiastic but he’s brushing you off TO HANG OUT WITH ANNA, not even saying she’s the one he’s going to the bonfire with. He also doesn’t seem like he prioritizes your relationship when he says, “We have date night tomorrow so we can spend time together then.” His schedule is completely empty from Tuesday to Thursday as shown in source A, but he still only spends 1 day with you. Personally, I would not accept that from a partner, especially one who’s been in 6 relationships in 1 year. But let’s look towards the DMs with Sara who is fully supportive of you and is willing to be there for you when your boyfriend isn’t (E).</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly. I've heard about you and Marc having some relationship problems. Girl I personally think that you should just end it with him. He is definitely not worth your time or money. Ending it with him now is the best thing for you and him you should just date other people.<br><br>When you take a look at your schedules you can see how he had almost his entire week free, yet he didn't come to your basketball game (Source B). If he can't even come support, you at your basketball games then he isn't acting like a good boyfriend. He also doesn't want to spend time with you. On Friday y'all two could have gone to the bonfire together. But he wanted to hang out with his friends and Anna without you (Source E). That sounds more than a little bit suspicious to me. It sounds like Marc is developing some feelings for Anna. If he has a crush on her, its best that you focus on yourself instead of worrying about him. Now don't get me started on Anna's Instagram post. That girl all over his back, they seem like they're more than friends at this point (Source G). He seems to like Anna a lot more than he likes you now. If he wants to do these things with another girl he doesn't deserve you. I think it's best that you cut him off and make yourself better, don't let him hold you back.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey girly, I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but I need you to know that from a friend you should consider breaking up with marc. He doesn’t treat you the way you need nor deserve to be treated. You do so much do the week and try so hard to hand out with him during your busy schedule but he doesn’t put in the effort at all even though he if free for most days of the week. He is showing that he’s not putting your feelings first and that he would rather entertain other people besides you. Speaking of entertaining other people, after reading the text messages between you two, the tone in his messages and what he said to you shows he does not value spending time with you. Once you asked him to come over after your game, he responded very nonchalantly saying “I guess”. He then continued to say he would rather spend time with his friends than hang out with you for a few hours. To make matters worse he lorded over the fact you were going on a date as a reason to guilt you into a girls' night. (Source E) Then when you went to twitter and said “when you want to hang with your boyfriend but he want to hang with his friends” he responded with “I still love you even if ur being salty” (source F) even though you were being a little immature to not directly tell matt your thoughts the fact that he didn’t call you as soon as he saw the tweet but he only reponed with another tweet showing what he feels about you. Instead of calling you and asking you why you feel the way you feel. His actions constantly show he does not respect your relationship. There was one instance where Sara mentioned Marc was a major flirt. (Source B) Yes, that could just be his personality, but if he is in a relationship with you, he shouldn’t be flirting with multiple girls. Marc is also talking about your relationship with other people claiming that you are cheating on him.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly, I know we don’t talk often at school, but I happened to pick up on a lot of Marc’s behaviors towards you and I’d feel so bad if I just let everything happen without talking to you. Carly, I personally feel like for the best of you and Marc as individuals … splitting up may be the best option now. I know you may be holding onto this connection, however it’s not mutual at all. The effort you put into your guys’ relationship outweighs the effort he puts in by a ton. According to Source A, “Buy school dance tickets for next Saturday! 4pm Bball practice”. Carly it's clear that you’re a very busy girl and your schedule is filled everyday with a new task, ranging from schoolwork to sports and making time for your relationship and friends. No matter what you have going on, you always adjust your schedule to fit in time for the people you love. Another excerpt from Source A, “Surprise Date with Marc!! 6pm @ Melting Pot” and “6-? Hang w/Carly” The distinction from the quote from your schedule and Marc’s schedule, your plans to hang with Marc are filled with the utmost amount of enthusiasm and excitement. However, Marc’s suggests a lack of interest in the date. Aside from that, the most alarming factor of this situation is the awfully odd connection and friendship between Anna and Marc. Additionally, on Friday September 17<sup>th</sup>, you wanted to hang out with Marc after your basketball game however he insisted that you’d hang out with Sara instead because he wanted to go to Matt’s bonfire. Not only does he put you two hanging out on the side to hang out with his friends, but he takes a really suspicious picture with Anna that night at the bonfire. Along with the picture, was a questionable caption to go with it. Open your eyes Carly, he’s publicly embarrassing you with his “best friend”, Anna. The caption reads, “Me and my fav guy at Matt’s bonfire last night.. #lovehim” (Source G). Carly, you deserve way better and someone who will respect you and make time for you, the relationship doesn’t have an equal desire on both ends. Lastly, according to Seventeen Magazine, “You're saving a ton of money.” On the date to the Melting Pot that you planned to surprise him with on Saturday evening is pretty expensive considering that you’re only in high school and you may not have consistent money coming towards you to be spending nearly $100 on a date. Especially for someone who doesn’t even treat you well. The Melting Pot’s price per couple is $95.95 according to Source H. These two pieces of evidence tie together perfectly considering that you can be saving your money instead of spending this much on inconsiderate Marc. Anyway, I hope you take this into consideration Carly, and find someone who actually treats you all that you’re worth.😊&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey what's up Carly, how are you doing, just so you know there is a lot of leaked evidence that will relate to your current relationship with Marc. I’d advise you to listen carefully to what we have acquired to help you decide whether to stay with him or to move on to better options. You have only been dating Marc for 5 months so the first off, the relationship has not lasted long along with that Marc has had 6 past relationships so with that information he has a good chance to be friends with at least 1 of those women. In your schedule you have a packed schedule while Marc is free on 3 days in the middle of the week. In your text message, “Why don’t you hang out with Sara or something? We have a date tonight so we can spend time together then” - In this message we can clearly see some annoyance from Marc when asking the rhetorical question “Why don’t you hang out with Sara or something” Then implying that they can be together later, even though we know that Marc is free”, this shows some of the unhealthiness of your relationship. And lastly in the statements it states, “Marc happens to be absolutely stunning. He’s a major flirt, though”. This shows that Marc acts the same way even though he is in a relationship with you. Overall, for your own good you need to break up with Marc.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey Carly, you should break up with mark. Mark does not acknowledge you nor does he give you the time out of his day. Mark does nothing and never has anything planned and yet he still does not support and spend time with you. You are constantly working hard and trying to support him, and he does not even show up to your games and he rarely spends time with you. In (source A) which showed the calendar. It says that You had a basketball game on Wednesday at 4pm, the same day that mark was free and had nothing to do on that day and yet he still did not bother to show up to your game. But that is just the start, when you asked to spend time with him, he told you he wanted to spend time with his friends instead of being with you even though you barely get to see him. Not only did he refuse to spend time with you, but he also responded in a nonchalant tone as if he did not care about her at all. “I guess” (source E). but to make matters worst one of his friend’s marks went to hang out with is a girl who he spends more time with than you. There was an Instagram post where marc is giving anna a piggyback ride instead of spending time with you. “Me and my fav guy at Matt’s bonfire last night” (source G). This just shows that he gives more attention to another female more than you. All these different situations and things we had seen just shows that you should just break up with Mark.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Hey Carly, you should break up with Marc because he doesn't support you has little interest in you all's relationship and proves he is not loyal. Even though he may have proven to you to be a loyal and loving boyfriend he is not. You have a busy life, with basketball, school and programs while Marc does not. According to source A Marc’s calendar is clear on Tuesday-Thursday while, Carly your schedule is full all 7 days of the week (Source A). This is essential to show how marc puts no effort to supporting you or your relationship. As a boyfriend Marc should try to attend your games and make an effort to spend time with you which he doesn’t. This shows he doesn’t care about your or the relationship. On Source A it also shows how you have planned a surprise date for Marc. You are willing to do nice things for Marc. According to source H, the melting pot is a very expensive restaurant, and you would probably spend at least 130 dollars (Source H). This evidence is essential to show how much dedication you have to your relationship. Is Marc planning any surprise dates? No, he puts no effort into your relationship and has little interest. Planning out all these extravagant dates, wanting to hang out with your boyfriend is all dumped in the trash. Clearly Marc, is interested in hanging out with his “friends” more than spending time with his girlfriend. According to source G, from Anna’s Instagram on the night you were supposed to go see Marc at his friend’s house he had Anna on his back being friendly. Anna wrote on the post “No matter what, he’s always got my back! (Or… I have his. LOL).” (Source G). Does Marc prove to you that he always has your back? How can he have his Anna’s back more than yours. This post is essential to developing Marc’s character as unloyalty, untrustworthy and uninterested. Ultimately you have done so much to try and make your relationship work but, it is not working. It’s not you its him. Find you some one better and break up with marc&nbsp;</div><div>.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Carly, we know that is appears that you guys should break up, but we have every reason to believe that you should not break up with him. Anna seems to be a constant problem within your relationship. She has demonstrated a lack of respect towards you and your relationship as she has contributed to rumors that were meant to hurt your relationship. We are sure that you know Anna likes Marc and we need to acknowledge that she seemed relatively happy that “[Marc was] convinced that [you were] cheating on him because [you have] been with John for the last two nights” (Source B). You also shouldn’t break up with Marc since due to Lindsy spreading rumors about how you supposedly cheating with John. It is important to consider that due to your best friend, Sara, she posted a snapchat story showing you having no intention with John since we can all see that “[you are doing] all of the studying for Financial Algebra while [they] snack on cheesy fries” (Source D). We are sure that if you talk with Marc about your relationship with John and set boundaries then this issue can be avoided in the future. We also cannot forget that Marc has publicly said on twitter after you called him out claiming how “[He] still love you even though you are salty” (Source E). He clearly has so much love for you even when you guys are fighting. Point is, you should still be together with him since he has shown you that he still loves and cares about you despite everything that has been going on.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey sis, I’m going to keep things straight with you. You should end things with Marc. I know you have feelings for him and feel that you love him, but you’re putting in too much time and effort for someone who doesn’t do the same. First of all, your schedule is so busy, yet you’re still trying to put in the time to see Marc. You had basketball practice, 2 basketball games, a study session to attend, and a youth group to attend, yet you still planned a surprise date with Marc (Source A).&nbsp; His calendar is so empty he could put in more effort if he wanted to see you like go to your games, but he didn’t and based on his schedule he doesn’t seem as enthusiastic to see you as you are to see him. You could be using that time to focus on yourself and do a million other things. You already seem to be the studious type as well as an athlete. Your time can go towards spending time with friends, practicing more if you feel like it, or even picking out the best college that fits you and how studious you are without worrying if Marc will be able to go as well (source c). This is your time to do things for you and find yourself within the process. You even save tons of money (source c). You were planning on taking him to the melting pot. Do you see how much money you’re willing to spend for that relationship? It’s $95.95 for you two to eat there (source H), and you’re willing to pay that, whereas he can’t even invite you to a party. You’re putting in time and effort for someone who isn’t matching your energy, therefore that energy and effort can be put towards something else. You’re a teen. You shouldn’t be stressing about a relationship, especially if your partner doesn’t seem to be meeting you halfway. You should break up with Marc.</div>]]></description>
