I have a question about dating/love.
I mean, whats the point? You date, you "fall in love", you break up, your heart is broken. I don't believe that love exists among teens. They all go around saying I love you to the first person they meet without ever actaully knowing what it feels like. I've done it, I admit and when I said "I love you" I knew I didn't mean it. I only said so because he said it first. I always told myself that I would never say those 3 words unless I really thought I was "In Love". I broke the promise that I had with myself and i'm starting to think that love is just a word that everyone throws around. I mean IS there really true love? Everyone is so wrapped up in having a boy/girl friend do they ever see the pattern they make? All the tears and confusion. Is it worth it when your only 15? Why can't all the hormones be turned off until were considered a adult? Seriously.

Feedback is all I desire but do try to sound just bit intelligent in your answers. Don't make me wonder if the schooling system is failing too.

I've had a girlfriend for a little over a week and a half, not long I know, but I don't plan on those three words appearing in our relationship for a long long time... if ever. I always tell her how much I like her because I KNOW true love is not incorporated in high school relationships. True love in my eyes, is a relationship where you feel totally open, honest, and respectful of each other. Along with many other things. Sometimes married couples are not truly in love. They have this false sense in them thinking they are, but it all falls apart. Now that I think about it, I don't think true love is really alive in society today. "Friends with benefits" and "hook-ups" make acts like sex among things, not a timeless bond between two people. I am sure as heck not a religious person by all means, but I do feel losing your virginity under the age of 22 is morally wrong. With all the alcohol and parties in high school and college, love just cannot exist. Once you and your partner actually live with each other and experience life outside of a school campus, most couples will find themselves at each other's throats. The level at which sexual activity and "relationship hopping" (as I call it) exist in teenagers and America's youth in general, I believe true love cannot evolve between two people.
