the one to change them

Boys and girls alike are oftentimes caught up in relationships or other scenarios where they are against the odds. I'm talking about against the odds in the sense that the boy or girl they are talking to has a bad history. A bad history can mean they are truly a bad person or a bad history can refer to a past full of unsuccessful relationships.

Many times a boy or girl gets in too deep with a person that, as history has shown, will end up hurting them in the end. 

There is an "effect" as I like to call it, that we young people like to get caught up in. I have coined it "The JK Effect." The JK Effect, referring to John Kennedy, operates on one simple principle. Change.

John Kennedy was a womanizer and any woman who thought she could change that was dead wrong. Countless mistresses from across the country show that. I wasn't there, but I envision those woman felt like he truly cared about them. I don't think that was the case.

We all want to be the one who changes someone. 

We want to prove everyone wrong and show that we can be the one. 

Even when everyone warns you that what you're doing is stupid and that you're going to get hurt, you push on anyways. There is some sort of primal instinct that tells us we can do it. "We can stop history from repeating itself and we won't get hurt like that other girl or guy did." 

Sadly, in 99% of cases, we're wrong. 

Girls look to be "The one who settled down with John Kennedy." And guys look to be something similar. (Only not with John Kennedy, obviously.) 

I'm not sure if we put too much faith in people as a whole or if we truly think we can change a person. 

Having faith is okay, but people rarely change. 

If you want to be that game changer, I wish you the best of luck. Just be prepared because more often than not, history repeats itself.
