Search Results: boy crazy

It starts off innocently enough: a boy-crazy 14-year-old freshman in 1973 is crushing on a 23-year-old man at school. It seems that the gentleman is interested in Susie too and despite the disparity in age, she falls for his charms, mostly due to his exchange student allure & suave accent. In the 1970's age disparity wasn't as big of a deal as it is now. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that another gentleman is also interested in the nubile teen. His name is Mr. Harvey & he lives in Susie's neighborhood. Unlike the man from school, Mr. Harvey puts in a tremendous amount of effort in an attempt to win the love of Susie Salmon. He builds her an amazing underground clubhouse, complete with all the stuff young people from that era loved. He had beverages such as Coca Cola that he selflessly shared with Susie as they hung out. It became clear that Mr. Harvey was a bit awkward around members of the opposite sex. His nervousness around Susie Salmon was evident & she picked up on that. Girls prefer a man with confidence. I also feel that maybe she was turned off because the Coke that Mr. Harvey gave her in his clubhouse was warm. I didn't see an ice-filled cooler in the clubhouse anywhere. So I think these factors all led to Susie Salmon losing her patience, which erupted in a childish display of rudeness. Mr. Harvey only had one rule in the clubhouse: Be polite. Susie Salmon broke that rule & the series of events that followed spiraled into one great, big, unfortunate chain reaction. Susie ended up losing her life but later had some ghostly moments.

Are there bad people in The Lovely Bones? True, Susie Salmon came off as being a little narcissistic and immature but she was only 14 years old! Yes, Mr. Harvey was socially awkward and made some questionable choices in life but he had a deep desire to be loved and respected. Plus, he was a taxpayer and a valuable contributor to society.

If you had to pick a side, which would it be?

My older sister never seems to be happy for me when something good happens in my life and she gets low key jealous when people around us start complimenting me about anything from looks, career or love interests.
People have approached me to ask me why does my sister hate me so much. These people are neighbors, church members and family friends. She pretends that she is such a great sister to me in front of my brothers and our parents so they can continue to laud what a wonderful sister she is to her younger siblings.
Some of things she has done were: Ruin my babyshower by using it as a rivalry with her ex bestfriend. By the time that shower ended, my family was divided and my aunt and my cousins didn't speak to us for over 5 years. She lied to everyone including my niece at her sweet 16 saying that she didn't know where I was when all along I was waiting for the ride she promised she'd send for me. My niece balled her eyes out the entire night thinking I flacked on her.
There's so much more but it would be way too long to write down. She's toxic and brings me nothing but negativity and stress to my home. She offers no support whatsoever and it feels like she only wants to sabotage me any chance she gets. She has told me to my face that I am not her sister 3x. When I tell my parents what she does, they say that I am acting this way because of my husband and they accuse me of being boy crazy for putting him first before family. This infuriates me! She's toxic! I feel its time to cut her out of my life. Ain't no way in hell would I have let her stick around this long if she was a friend and not my sister. Am I wrong if I do? Would you so the same? I feel like if I keep her around she's gonna betray me so bad that I may flip out on her.
