i'm a girl, 16. i have a friend, her name is Alexis, but lets call her "LEXIS" for short. Ok, so Lexis has been dateing this guy named Jim for about 4 and a 1/2 months. Well yesterday she found out that he's... he's not the sharpest tool in the shead. she found out that he get's a check for $700 dollars a month. Now she's not a gold digger, not a gold digger at all, she's more of a image person. so last night she called me and told me she was going to break up with him because, she "cant't be seen wit a slow person." I thought that was mean of her but befor i could tell her what i thought her uncle was calling and we hung up. So i talked to my other friend and 50% said that her reason for breaking up with him is shallow and the other 50% said that it was not.
my question is, is she shallow for breaking up with him for that reason, or is that a good reason to break up with a person?

Happiness is not about money or what someone looks like, How popular they might be in school etc.
Happiness is excepting people for who they are, Being there for one another and enjoying each others company. honesty, respect and trust.
Obviously your friend is not all that mature, but again she is just a 16 year old girl that thinks the world will look down on her for not dating the biggest hunk in school. However, If she continues to treat people this way...Good luck to her for finding someone in the future. [ OhMyLucyDarling's advice column | Ask OhMyLucyDarling A Question ]

like she's making fun of people with disablities and
who are indeed slow i don't know the whole situation
but calling him slow just because he gets a check doesn't make sense she could of thought before she spoke so yes i think that she is shallow & no i don't think that's not a good enough
reason to break up someone(: [ sunshine1232's advice column | Ask sunshine1232 A Question ]
