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.

Oh my gosh, how can anyone say that you can't love in highschool? This is just idiotic. Love is love, there is no age or type. It's just love. You can't prevent it nor force it.

Sure, they might not last very long but it doesn't mean that you didn't love that person at one point.

I'm sorry...How old are you?
Have you experienced it? Guys just want a short term relationships...Only rarely a long term. It's never love.. it's lust!
Love is when you know a person and be there as friend and not just your "boyfriend or girlfriend".
That's not love.
It's High school!

Love=Hook ups

It's not like you have any more idea about love than she does. You're what... 16?

And how much about lust and love do you know about? In your 16 years of wisdom, how can you differentiate between love and lust? Do you even know what lust is?

Guys don't want long term? It's just hookups? Almost everyone who was on this forum have been with their beau for at least a year. I've been with mine for 3.

People need to stop talking out of their ass and get off their little soapbox. High school students do not know more about love than another high school student.

IN modern days *now* high school love is not going anywhere

sure, you can date throughout highschool, but are you really gonna marry that person? And if you do, are you actually not going to get a divorce since you jumped into something without thinking about financial issues, not meeting new ppl that you might have a potenital crush on, and child costs? True fact, we live in a society where young ppl dont realize what they are getting into since they marry too early. Being married and "being together" are too very diffent things, one that most young ppl arent ready to handle the emotional and differnt lifestyle they face.

And if you have known that person throughout your life, stay together fir more than 5 years of marriege,kudos then because your a rariety in our society.

WOW! Are you serious? That you date someone since high school, so there's a good couple of years of commitment there, and you call that jumping in without thinking about money costs? Sure, high school relationships don't last but if you can make it all the way to even think about marrying the person and actually doing it, something is going right there.

I'm not saying that high school stuff last. But if you really haven't been in a long term high school relationship, don't say shit. And even if you have, just cause yours turned out badly doesn't mean everyone else is waiting for you to demean their relationship.
