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?

[ayu_ku_fan]

well, I am currently in one of these young relationships and yes there is drama, mainly cuz I'ma guy and he's a guy but whatever. Well be going out a week tomorrow. I hope we last longer than 3 months.

[da_SALSA]

Well you're right about the drama in adolescent relationships. I'm in one of the young relationships, and I work hard trying to work it out everyday. I have friends that last over 5 months...actually one of my best friend has a relationship of one year. If "love" plays a role, then it does. It just depends on the people who say it. I say it with meaning and I don't usually say it unless I mean it.

I hope, too, that my relationship survives this super bumpy ride.

Well, I'm 15, and I've had a relationship last for around 7 months, when I was 12. I've been told I grew up fast though, I don't know if that makes me void for this or not. Just placing my imput so you have another opinion.

[NgocQuyen]

hehe well i think that its not only young people...you can't just pin it ALL on the young people...look around everywhere.....EVERYWHERE...young and old(er) they throw the word love around all the time...i don't care what age group you are...love is a very powerful emotion...i mean..theres a difference between loving someone..and being IN love with someone....its just simple...but the thing is...love is so simple, it's complicated...i mean..i really dislike all the young bucks out there saying "oh im so in love with him/her.." and blah blah blah...but older people do it too! and its absolutely rediculous...i just want to know why the majouratiy of the population is so obsessed with "love".....in my opinion, love AND relationships are both over-rated....

[sheepy]

i think all relations include drama.
drama = problems = something that exist in everyone's life.
who's to say whats true love anyways?

[seremela_culnamo]

I agree that there's drama. But that's for every relationship. I totally disagree with that relationships for couples between 12-17 only lasts a week or up to 3 months. There's a lot of those type of people, but I know people who have been together for almost a year or even more.

[HolyMoly]

No no Drama, no no no no Drama!

Anyways I think young relationships like 12-14 are really dumb. They have no idea how to handle a boy or girl and end up breaking up within a month.

[pinacoolada]

I'm in a young relationship...we passed the 3 month mark already..haha

[eternalyfe]

Relationships that young are like trading cards. It was all about having the best one, and they can definitely be traded just as easily.
It's funny though, because when they break up it's either not a big deal at all "I never liked him anyways." or it's like their life is going to end.

[xforgottenlove]

i think it varies for each couple<b>.</B> the sad thing is that sometimes, the girl cares much more deeply for the guy<b>.</b> :/

[*nightmare4taki*]

^Adolescents are not capable of love. Haha kidding

I bet you were playing that Chris Brown - Young Love before you said that.

LOL I'm a grown man and no longer a youngster so I can no longer relate. =]

[alphanumeric]

you're right. im thirteen, ive never gone past the ONE week mark & ive mistaken infatuation for love. yeap =/ but its all good, 'cause i know im still young & i have plenty of time. (anyone who reads my poems, theyre not about my personal life, just what i observe, unless i say so then ive made my statement[:)

[teeners4]

i agree somewhat. however i think relationships in high school are great. whether they are a week or up to three months or beyond. it's a great way to date different people and see how you react and interact. although it should not take you away from your studies. it should be your responsiblity to balance school and your love life and various other things.

i think it's adorable when couples in high school date for 1 year+ however i also think people shouldn't be so serious about one person, at least not yet. i think it's a good thing to "play the field"

but this is coming from me, i'm scared of commitment

this isn't always the case sometimes the guy cares a lot more for the girl. it depends on the guy and girl. if the girl is flirty they may not be as into the relationship or take it as seriously

[Bridget_rules_4e...]

i say let them say love because it might not be "true" love like marriage but its still a form of love....like i say "i love you" to my famaly and friends and yah .

[pinacoolada]

I'm almost 14...I've been going out with my boyfriend for 5 months..so, are we an exception to the 3 month limit?

[rockish]

i kind of agree. i'm young and i think you can be in love with someone at this age. if it's right it will last. my boyfriend and i have been going out for a little over 11 months and i'd say i'm in love. i'm 13 and he's almost 14. i couldn't stand not being without him. i agree that there is a lot of drama yeahh sure there is. we get criticized all the time for our age but i don't care.

[voguelove]

i think so as well. whats the point for dating if youre only 12? i mean, 16-17..sure, whatever. theres no point in having a boyfriend when your age just turn to double digits.

[aznxdreamer]

i think the only reason teen relationships are so dramatic is because teenagers look for drama and trouble. and plus with the whole highschool dealio. if someone starts a rumor, everyone wil know. so yeah, i think teens put themselves into difficult situations.

[xXMomoBubbleTeaX...]

Thats so true.. I think love is used as strong like now a days.. && when you use the word love I think that your using the same word that people who are actually in love that you have the same type of relationship as them when you really don't.. I think you need to earn the title of loving someone or being in love with someone.. but I also think we all have ourown perspectives of love.. && we think we make the decision of who we love, but really our heart makes the decision for us.. I also think in order to truly love someone you have to be without them.. because really anyone can learn to live with anybody.. it's the person you can't live without when you really know you're in love.. I also think there's a reason why it's called teen love b/c it's teen love.. it's not called that for nothing.. That's why it's not called real love or true love.. it's called teen.. but it also varies what kind of relationship it is.. for it to be real love or not.. Well this question will always be asked, but honestly I think no one will ever have the perfect answer..

[iDecay]

Heh, I've seen relationships younger than that. Most of them that I know of, were out of pity. I agree with you. "Love" is just merely a word to them.

[AngelinaTaylor]

I think you're right.. but I also think that not all relationships are like that. I'm 17 and I've been with my guy for almost a year and a half ;)

The types of relationships you're talking about are the "puppy love" type ones. It's pretty irritating to see young teenagers saying "I LOVE YOU!!!" when they don't have a clue what it means. And when you come down to it, they act like this because they want to be in love.. Which is pretty sad - I mean, enjoy being a kid.. it doesn't last.

Cheers,
Taylor``

[xmkaex]

im still in that age range (15)but i never had a boyfriend before... however i agree with you.

-i have a friend that went out with this one guy and then a week later i find out that she broke with him and there's another guy . and then the cycle continues

-then there are young couples i know who throw around the phrase "i love you". after they say it soo many times the phrase has no deep meaning to it. To me "i love you" is a phrase that should be said when it's the right time...when you truly know your feelings for that one special person.

-then there are people who fight over this one guy.
"imm fight that b****" and stuff like that..and its just for this ONE GUY!

-also when the school has a dance...all i hear is "who are you going with"
and it goes on and on

however some relationships turn out really well.

[flc]

Very, very dramatic and immature.

When I dated in eighth grade, I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I didn't know how to be mature and listen to his side of the story whenever something came up. Like, if he couldn't go somewhere with me, I'd be pissed with him for like a week. All I knew was that I liked the kid. I didn't know how to compromise.

[xOpRiNcEsSpReTTy]

in hs, ms, ect. you are just learning about love, and relationships. drama happens almost everywhere you go, so you can't avoid that. but the younger ages are known for drama, and of course you are gonna have some arguements/fighting as a teen in a relationship, but its just natural...

[lilith]

its possible to fall in love in this age range (12-17). trust me, my 1st love was when im 15 which lasted for 2 years. it dint work out cuz of some respectful reason. I think, It depends on how mature a person is and how serious the couple want to work it out for it to be some silly relationship or not. but yeah i def agree that a lot of these "kiddy" relationships are pretty funny. but hey, its interesting..
