SCENARIO 2: You find yourself attracted to a guy who's a bad influence on you.

What they did:

Sex-addict Chuck Bass has a bank account busting at the seams and trust funds aplenty but what he has in money he lacks in good character. He cheats, drinks and is downright rude, but Blaire can't seem to resist his charms, even after he stood her up before a romantic getaway to sleep with another girl at the end of season 1.

What Nancy Sada, 17, would do:

The senior at PSJA North said she once had a friend in a similar situation who found it hard to get away from a boy.

"He got really bad and tried to use the pressure system (on my friend), saying ‘I'm going to kill myself if you're not with me,'" she said. As the person whom her friends usually go to for advice, Sada said she hammered away at one point: get out of the relationship.

"I told her that she had to get away from him because it was just going to get worst," she said, adding that if she was the one in the situation, "I'd talk to other people about it - like my mom - and see what they think."

The lesson: Get away despite what you think you feel about the bad seed.
