First a pair of girls came to me to tattle on something the other two girls did a long time ago. So, I talked to the other two girls to see if this was true, and they said , “so and so is trying to get us in trouble, they blah, blah, blah.” I ask the girls why they are fighting and I get this long dramatic story about a guy. Surprised? This is high school.

It turns out that one of the girls was seeing this guy, and she was ranked  #1 on his MySpace site. Well, the next day this other girl was ranked #1 in her place, and #1 was changed to #10. This story boils down to- boyfriends and girlfriends can dump each other on MySpace. You no longer have to have that awkward telephone conversation or even write the email! I just had to laugh, and I told the girls that any guy who rates his girls on MySpace isn’t worth being rated by.
