Young Relationships., Dramatic? i think so. Options

[Devastation]

Almost all young relationships (12 - 17) always have some sort of drama. Why do we adolescent people deal with it? Alot of those relationships end in about a span of one week to three months. the lucky ones go past that mark. The word love eventually plays a major role in the relationship showing that one "loves" the other. which is entirely bullshizz, or i could be wrong. but in my opinion 95% of the young relationships that take part, are eventually going to die out in that span of one week to three months. the word love is most likely tossed around more than once as a word to describe deep liking. but still.. that's not true love. What is your opinion on our relationships that we have as adolescents?

I'm tired of people knocking young love.

I've had two long-term relationships. The first one began from when I was 13, and lasted until I was 14. It was for exactly one year. We loved eachother, fully and completely. Two years later, I can still say that. We cared about eachother as much as two young kids ever could. From that, I learned a lot. It gave me an opportunity to learn about myself and someone else. I had a lot of great experiences. I matured a lot from it.

The second ended fairly recently. I got about the same out of it, but not as much so. It lasted a little under a year. At the time, I thought I was crazy about this guy. Later on, I realized things weren't as wonderful as previously thought. I won't go into detail, because it's pretty painful for me to talk about.

Bleh.


Young love is part of growing up, and I wish people would get over it and stop bashing it. Sure, it's dumb for people to be with eachother for a week holding hands and saying they love eachother, then the next day they decide to break up for no reason, and the cycle repeats. Yet... haven't we all been there, at least once?

Are you supposed to JUST start getting into relationships in your early 20s, having no experience, and not knowing what's going on? No, I don't think so. You need to gain experience from past relationships that haven't worked out, and you need to LEARN from them so you don't make MISTAKES with people you really could have a future with.
