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 kinda remind me of myself.
I used to think like that...until I actually did fall in love.
You're going to think that I sound cheesy and stupid, because that's what I would've thought. But love isn't always about being with the person you love forever.
It's been six months since I came to know that I was actually in love, and there's nobody I've told. I'm just keeping the feeling to myself, enjoying the rollercoaster ride it offers. Sometimes it's a bit too much and it at times I simply break down, but sometimes there is no other way.
What I'm trying to say will probably become an article on its own, but my point is, don't think that love is always that selfish. Often, love goes unrequited for a lot of reasons. I can say that I've made peace with it. But you need to open your heart to the possibility of love, because I'm just sixteen and I don't want the person. I just love them.
take this however you want it to mean, or dont at all.
In life, you can spend a lot of time weighing the 'good' and the 'bad' of any situation. When you catch yourself weighing your options more than you are being spontaneous and freewilled then change.
I believe it's always better to do *something* as opposed to nothing at all.
ok, you can wait till adolescence to begin that whole relationship thing. It's all learning experience though. I think you should approach it (when it happens for you naturally) without having too many pre-conceived ideas about what it will be like.
Take my advice which comes from experience, never try and turn something into what it's not, love is a great thing, and it's the ultimate form of selfishness since you claim another person as yours. Don't get caught up with how you look at things just enjoy the experience.
When it hapens to you of course, xoxbabygirl123, ain't no reason to rush yourself into things. ;)
love life.
I understand and agree completely. I just don't think children should take that risk. Yes, love is worth taking the fall, but not when you're 13. And love can be amazing, but in order for true love to work, you have to be selfless. That means, always putting your mate first. Not because you have to, but just because if you are in love, you would want nothing more than to see your partner happy.
When you fall in love, life get's a little more complicated(in a good and bad way)
A relationship doesn't occur because suddenly you've found that person and you've fallen in love with them and that's that.
you meet a person who makes you happy. why the hell wouldn't you want to be around this person, bind your hearts together, and stay like that until you can't anymore?
Love can't occur without risk-taking you have to be willing to take a risk if you want to be happy. Like you said right in the begining of your post, life will end happiness will end, love will end. But that doesn't make it bad. Your experiences are what you carry with you throughout your life and in a good relationship, although their might be bumps along the way, hopefully your positive experiences will outweigh the negative ones... i mean, how else would you want your life to end?
there's good and bad in this world, you gotta take a risk that it might end badly if you ever want to experience the good.
Love is only worth it because it is so hard to find, and to comit to.
Personal choice says you can wait as long as you want. However America laughs at the 40 year virgin, and those who just cant ever find someone... have you watched the new Alice in Wonderland?
Right now we are the little people in a big world. We dont realize the thousands of people out their, because we haven't seen it. We are confined to our small or big towns, our lifes, constanlty orbiting the same people.
Appreciate that you don't have a planned marriage. Personally Im glad that we can make our own choices today.
You've made some great points about young love. Be sure to check the spelling on those homonyms - heard; their
Keep writing!
People my age, I am 15, do find people they love, so you can not really tell anyone or snort or make faces at anyone who says they are in love because they really could be.
Have you talked to your parents, or your friend's parents or any other parents who have said that they have married their high school sweetheart. ?
Of course I understand that relationships at a young age could be pretty helpless and meaningless, but that's depending on the people. I've seen things of that nature.
But I have also seen two people who have been together since they were freshmen in high school, and they are still together, graduating seniors.
All young relationships may not last, depicting on what the relationship is based on. And we all know that one thing that MOST teens want.
But then you have those relationships that are full of trust and loyalty.
I have survived a two year relationship and I love my boyfriend.
