Are you driving your friends and family crazy with your 24/7 focus on
guys? Find out if you've gone totally overboard over boys by taking this
quiz.
1.
When you're bored in one of your classes, you:
start working on your homework.
doodle all over your notebooks boys' names and hearts.
think about your weekend plans-maybe a movie with a group of friends,
both boys and girls.
2.
You're planning to redecorate your room. You:
think the theme should be boys, boys, boys.
would like to hang some posters of guy music groups you like as well
as movie posters.
decide to look at magazines for some fresh new ideas.
3.
When your science teacher asks you to choose a lab partner, you:
think about who has qualities that would complement yours so you'll
be a good working pair.
look around the room to see which cute guy might be fun to work with.
first think this might be a great opportunity to get to know one of
the boys in your class better, but then you come to your senses and remind
yourself that you're in school mainly to learn and that getting good grades
is important.
4.
You're taking more and more time to get ready for School in the
mornings. When your mom wants to know why, you realize that you:
are spending most of your time daydreaming about a crush instead of
focusing on getting out of the house on time.
are having a hard time getting out of bed-maybe you should try getting
to sleep earlier at night.
spend a lot more time these days making sure that your hair and clothes
look just right-you never know what boys might see you.
5.
When your friends casually ask you how you are, you:
usually give them a quick update on anything new in your life.
ignore that question and instead give them a twenty-minute description
of all the guys you have a crush on.
tell them how you really are and ask them the same question.
6.
Your best friend gave you one of those cartoon calendars with daily
tear-off sheets. You:
rewrite the captions and dialogue each day to reflect what's happening
to you and the guys in your life.
like to look at the cartoons each day since they usually give you a
chuckle.
hardly ever remember to tear off the sheets, so when it's April 10
in real life, you're probably still looking at February 19.
7.
When you have a sleep over with friends, the main topic of conversation
is:
your teachers and your other friends.
boys, boys, boys.
school and boys.
8.
Your brother, sister, or other family member has been known to tease
you about your obsession with:
boys, boys, boys.
a hot music group.
the collections that are taking over your room.
9.
When you've made plans to go some place with your friends, you would:
only change those plans in an emergency-maybe your parents forced you
to stay home to spend time with some relatives you've never met.
try to convince them that it would be more fun if you added a couple
of boys to the group, but if your friends weren't interested, you wouldn't
pursue the point.
insist that it would be much more fun if you could invite a few cute
guys to join you, and if you couldn't persuade your friends, you probably
would decide not to go with them.
10.
The latest copy of your favorite magazine arrives in the mail. You
look through the table of contents and quickly turn to the article that's
titled:
"Boost Your Brain power in Less Than a Month"
"Should You Change Your Style?"
"Catch the Crush You've Had Your Eye On"

Not Interested. Most likely, you have a wide variety of interests,
which is healthy. You have plenty of time to get serious about boys. If
and when guys start taking up more of your energy, make sure you continue
to keep some of your attention on who you really are and what you want
out of life.
17-23
Semi-Serious About Guys. You're not boy-crazy, but your attention
is definitely wandering a bit in that direction. Daydreaming about guys,
developing crushes, and talking to your girlfriends about boys you like
are typical of teenage life. Just make sure you continue to keep enough
room in your heart and mind for other people and topics. You'll stay a
lot more interesting that way.
24-30
One-Track Mind. Get a grip, girl! Yeah, boys are fun to think
and talk about, but you're functioning as if nothing and no one else even
exist. If the other people in your life are not already bored to tears
by how totally boy-crazy you've become, their patience and tolerance will
probably wear thin soon enough. It's fine-and normal-to be interested in
guys. But you may be in danger of losing your focus on other things that
count, too. Have you forgotten about school? Hobbies? Friends? Your family?
