Valentines

Is young love really as crackpot as we are taught to make it out to be? Or isn't that what we tell the broken hearts on valentine's day and it spread around...
Young love... as in none of us have a diploma in anything? At our age it is said that we shouldn't waste our youth and our time and etc on meaningless relationships that will just end in nothing but disappointment. I strongly disagree with that statement and am now firmly convinced that notion was created specifically for comforting broken 13 year old hearts.
Young love is like everything else in life is a lesson for future use. Why do we go to math? Well... thats not a good example.... why do we learn how to read? Because we use it in later life. Why do lion cubs fight with each other? To practice fighting for the real world. Which is how I look at little relationships that go nowhere and die early. Practice. I bet those lion cubs have a hell of a lot of fun rolling on top of each other! So why is it so awful and stupid we have little love experiments? It prepares us for the world. Obviously fighting your little brother isn't the same as fighting the animal about to eat you... but you get the idea.
Therefore, I deem teenage love-experiments acceptable, understandable and enjoyable.
Happy Valentines Day.

But to say it is only for practice, then you don't really mean "young love" because when you love someone, you do not practice for other loves to come.

That is what I dislike about people saying love at 13 is fine. Because I do believe that when you love someone, you love someone, at whatever age. But to say you love someone and to really just be "getting practice", that is what I object to to.

happy v-day! :-)

I disagree. If we truly love someone, why would we ever need practice? Wouldn't we be able to understand them just as well as if we hadn't practiced all our lives. And even if you knew special things to make them pay attention to you, I still think that if they were truly meant for you that they would notice any way.

I agree that if you truly love someone you shouldn't need practice. However, people are stupid, they make mistakes....the practice is learning form them. And as of young love and relashonships. Love....its not a word with a ssingle definition. Young love is fun. Enjoy it....dont fret about love and practivce. Why the heck do you neeed to be like "I LOVE THIS PERSON THATS WHY IM DOING THIS." Why can't it be "This prsons cool (and cute). their nice.....so why not!"
