 i wish i did; i'd use them for mine.
you might try writing a letter though in which you express all of your feelings. and then burn it. apparently, it can be quite cathartic.

i just want to make it clear that there is not even a single indicator that mr game will ask me to sleep with him, and that in his class, i'm just in the average cluster. i won't let him do something that will cause me to have any form of debt to him. my conscience is already eating me alive 'cause of this mess. i have not also acknowledged his 'feelings' for me. whenever he tells me about it, i just say that it is impossible because he is a married man, and that i don't believe him. i've also started to get some space between him and me. thank you for speaking some more sense to me.
does any of you have any suggestions on how i could erase the feelings that i have for mr game?

 hmmm interesting, well this mr game is a married man a very weak and stupid man. This is not a joke this s life your life mr games life his wife and childrens lives the reason life isnt a joke or a game is because theres no start overs no contnues and second chances what ever you do the choices you make your stuck with they will effect you and others till the day you die. And at your age that could be along time.
Hers some side effects of your little so called joke, Jail being fired and ridicule for you and this mr game, Fortunately your the child mr game will take the brunt of all this witch he will rightly deserve for being so stupid.
Now i would suggest telling mr game exactly what ive told you you wont hurt his feelings you will wake him up and make him realize how mutch of an idiot hes being in fact he will probably thank you because your gonna be saving his ass,
Breaking this off with mr game will be the best thing you could ever do for him hell owe you one, this is real the three Rs dont quite prepare you for these types of situations but listen to my advice and youll get an A+
I would suggest telling him face to face its over notes can backfire you really dont want a hardcopy of what transpired laying around

You can try either one of two things:
Either write him a letter saying you can't do this anymore then leave it where he will find it and read it. That way, you don't need to confront him face to face.
Or, you tell him your mum found your diary and read all about what's been going on and she is threatening to go to the police. He will probably suggest that its best to stop the game because this will wake him up. You can then tell him you managed to convince your mother that it was all just a fantasy but its best to keep away from him.
Well done for taking steps to end this; this is illegal as you know. He can go to jail or be fired from his job. I suggest that if he continues pestering you that you tell your guidance counsellor.
