I refuse to waste my time with stupid, meaningless relationships! No offense to those who do.
Sometimes I wonder. I wonder if everything always has to end up so morbid. Love, happiness, life...it all ends bad. Love, now that's dangerous. I mean, I've never been in love; I'm only a child, but I've seen what it can do. I've witnessed the magic of it, and the danger of it.
I once herd in a movie that people want to find love because it's the closest thing to magic, but I believe that some people just want to feel whole, and that true love is what they might be missing.
Kids my age get to be reckless, stupid, innocent and irresponsible, but what I don't get, is that they all rush. They through the "L" word around like it's just a suggestion or a stupid word that doesn't mean anything. "OH! I Love my Hubby so much," like, come one! Hubby...what is that? We're kids! We don't have hubbies( husbands)! Why would we want to? We get to be free and love holds you down in so many ways. Love is so powerful, that the word is even powerful.
"Oh babe! I love you so much! we're gonna be together forever!" It makes me sick. What fourteen year old wants to spend the rest of there life with there current partner? I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but most fourteen year old kids don't even stay in a relationship for over a month let alone forever! Also, we're all too selfish anyway, including me.
We get to be selfish. To be in a relationship, you have to put the other person before everyone else...including yourself. That means dedicating all your free time and devoting yourself to your partner. What teenager wants to do that? What teenager ever did do that?
I'm sure they're a few who have, but their future's are so limited. They have to worry about going to college, because they don't want to leave their "hubby" or "wifey" behind, they might not even go to college because they think they'll be together forever, and then a week after rejecting college they brake up and then what? What's in their future then? Working at Walt mart?
Why start something so complicated so early if you have your whole life to experience it, and to experience it right? Relationships are not for kids, and fake relationships are annoying and useless; they have no meaning. I want to go to college, and I want to fall in love, but not anytime soon. I refuse to say, " I love you," when I don't mean it, and I refuse to waste my time with stupid, meaningless relationships.

You are 14! What do you know about life or love? Other than waking up, school, and sleep. Don't attempt to preach life lesson until you can at least be independent. You only learn through experience which you haven't had any.
To the original poster (xoxbabygirl123):
Hey, have you ever thought about proofreading before publishing? Your grammar errors are so painfully apparent it completely distracts from the entire concept of the article.
Dear crazo,
I'm really sorry if someone hurt you and like FireandWater I would give you a bigggg hug right now, but there IS a point in love.
I had my heart ripped open and boiled in oil and then burned and then the ashes were fed to wild dogs.
...Figuratively.
But still, WHILE you're in love, you feel totally blissful...
...and even if you feel tortured once it's over, that feeling of blissful perfection is worth the agony. At least to me it is.
Even though some people (like me) haven't gotten over the heartbreak yet, I think everyone does...
...eventually...
...I hope.... : )
MangoMadness-- I wish you good luck in your relationship!
I wish had someone to wish me good luck-- after I got my heart broken.
Hey, Mango, I'm even younger than you, just thirteen, and I thought I was in love. I really truly did. When he broke my heart, I'd never felt so betrayed.
But I really hope this works out better for you than me. I'm not being sarcastic, I really am sincere. I'm very bitter, but I hope that everyone eventually finds the person that they were meant to be with.
Who knows? It really could be true love! :)
I've never really agreed that kids don't know what love truely means. Well, some do anyway. I think to love someone means that there is a person you care deeply for, someone that you want to protect, and keep them safe. To love means to want to spend the rest of your life with someone because you couldn't live without them.
And thats where I think you're right. Most kids don't want to get married these days, they don't want to have a life with someone and have kids. Because they don't want to be held down. Now, some of them might change their minds when they meet someone that actually means something to them. But some will grow up never knowing the true meaning of a healthy relationship.
My position in love at the age of thirteen, is nothing to make a spectacle of. But in my school, maybe. I've never had a boyfriend, and my crushes don't like me. No big deal to adults right? They think "Oh she's young, why waste her life being in love?" Well to me, as a teenager, my hormones are going crazy, and I' trying to find myself. I understand that I'm not emotionally stable, but love never helps that. Never having a boyfriend makes me feel that I'm not good enough, that no one will ever want me. I want to be loved, doesn't everyone? I hope one day that will change, and being so young people will look at this problem like its nothing. But it affects my whole life, my confidence, and my thoughts. And to me it's a big deal, to me, it's my life.
I I agree with this wholeheartedly, I think that throwing love around like it's nothing really kills what it can be. That being said, not all relationships even at young ages are fake. Also, I disagree with your thought that if you were in a real relationship where you honestly put your partner in front of yourself, I'm not sure that you have to sacrifice all of your time. Because it wouldn't be a sacrifice. I agree still though, it's much easier to pour your life into your friends and activities, and not have the stress of handling a relationship on top of it. Well written, excellent job,
God bless,
TSHE
