High School Kids, These Days... Options

[Tung]

I am sick of the guy who obsesses over the girl: the songwriter, 3458345 telephone messages, love notes, picnics under the stars, the works. Girl breaks up with him and he mopes for the rest of his life. Love. no, loneliness, lack of confidence, insecurity.

And high school. face it. your high school relationships are probably going nowhere. "high school love." that's a contradiction in itself. rarely does one find "love" in high school, and when students claim to "love," it's usually merely an illusion created by their idealistic brighteyed and bushytailedness, as well as a need to feel wanted, or to attach themselves to something concrete. Or perhaps they're bored and feel the need to get caught up in the whole dating fad. After all, it does get them the attention they crave. They're just abusing the word to fit their own false, superficial situation.

So I ask you to think a little more when you confess "love." If there's one thing I hate, it's people who don't take things seriously about using the word love. And yes, i'm one of those people who takes everything seriously about using the word love.

It is possible though.
One can fall in love during high school.

I dated this guy freshman year. The 2nd week we were dating, he dropped the l-bomb. I laughed. Literally. I was like...er..sorry but, it's too early for that. You don't even know me that well.

I think in order to love someone, you have to know everything about them. I'm not saying you have to memorize their routines, habits etc...you just have to know them pretty well. You have to be able to accept their flaws, and even learn to love their flaws.
