Then there's the braggart He loves to tell about
his conquests "You know about her" he says the
boy on double date You remember when I took HER
out?"
All of which makes the girl with him wonder What
will he say about me?"
Many boys don't want to lose face to their friends
so they exaggerate about what happens on date" ex
plains Jeri Shillin Western High School senior AN
other thing, boys tell everything"
JERKS caSsmate, Tina Smith, cheereader at West
ern agrees with Jeri on how boys exaggerate.
Tina says boys tell stories about how girls have
parked with them and give the girls such bad reputa-
ton that nobody wants to date her. On the other hand
if girl gets reputation being sweet and goody
goody, the boys won't date her either Tina says

tells him."
