What Is Love? (No not that damned Haddaway Song)

Sunday, June 18, 2006

So what is love? Most teens mistake lust for love. Always going after the cutest girl, the most popular guy only to go out with them for three weeks and then move on. Not many relationships that teenagers make last very long. Sure you are now in the "friend" status but that doesn't help you cause. Do teenagers even have the maturity to actual have a relationship that last at least a year if not more? Or, do our libidos take over and we go after a piece of meat that we see cute at the time? Some say they do love someone and will marry them. Bullshit. How many couples in high school's actual marry, not many. How many end up with an unplanned pregnancy...too many. It's lust, not love what us teenagers feel. Sure we may have some feelings for someone, but that will pass. Unless you're some creepy stalker person who visits the guy/girl twenty or so years after graduation to tell how you feel. Maybe we can end up shaking with a college sweetheart, but not a high school sweetheart. That's what massive amounts of self loving is for, for all you sickos out there in internet land. What brought this on? Massive amounts of boredom during the first week of summer break and a mix of listening to ELO for two hours.

uhm, in general humans have the emotional part and the rational part, when a person is unable to rationalize before acting this is what happens, obviously teens are inexperienced but don't be so hard on the kids lol there are lots of adults that thought they were mature to handle a marrige and ended in divorce, because they think the means was have sex when the means for marriage is to procreate and live a life for helping each other. Look anything the comes inside us through or 5 senses we need to process it rationalize it and act, otherwise we will be no different than animals, just doing doing doing, at least they can't count the mistakes, but humans they do and they suffer for it.

That is the purpose of being a teen, to experiment with relationships. As for early pregnancy, use birth control.

How about "Don't have sex."

The teenage mind is in no way shape or form prepared to handle it. Too many chemical changes.

That's why there are laws protecting teenagers from people who are over 18 and wish to exploit them...

Don't have sex? Well what about the ones that will laugh at you when you say that Nancy Reagan?

Baby don't hurt, don't hurt me, no more . . .

I do believe that as teenagers we are incapable of a mature and rewarding relationship. People get too caught up in the drama of "omg i <3 u!1!" and tend to blow things way out of proportion. Also, it is impossible to maintain a relationship after a break-up because teenagers are psychotic and refuse to see things practically.

I do think that teenagers should date at some point just so they can make all of their mistakes before stuff really counts. A marriage can be saved by past relationship experience, and it's best to have your head together before you throw kids and all that responsibility crap into the mix.

Personally, I don't date. Not that I can't get a date, but for the most part I am unwilling to ruin the friendship that would serve as the foundation. Realistically speaking, we won't be together forever, and as I've stated before teenagers are psychotic little bastards and would get caught up in the drama of a break-up, thus killing a perfectly good friendship.

Who causes this drama? As always, I blame the media. 7th Heaven, Gilmore Girls, The O.C., all of these shows promote unrealistic views of relationships as a whole, and skew impressionable minds into thinking that they should act like that. G.O.B.R.A.L.E.S.S. is working to prevent that, but such things are best treated with care.

It's weird to be a teenager who hates teenagers as a whole, but nobody ever accused me of being normal. The thought processes of the teenage brain never cease to sicken me, which is probably a good reason for me being so anti-social.

I too was a teen, who hated most teens, especially teenage females.

Malach...

Teenage kids will listen to that message if it's put to them in terms they can understand. Yeah, if you put it as an ultimatum, they'll instantly laugh.

Your logic is that we should not tell kids that they aren't ready for sex because some of them won't listen. Okay, so should we tell them not to cut themselves, or just figure damn, we're going to look stupid when a few kids don't listen.

I don't care if they laugh. The message needs to get out. Even if only one kid heeds the advice...

Sex is dangerous. Kids are getting hep c and HIV and a condom isn't 100% effective. I don't care how much fun it is, if there's a chance I'm going to die, I don't do it.

Kids think they're invincible. It's our job as role models to convince them that being responsibile with their bodies is the thing to do.

If they want condoms, let them go buy them. Fine. But don't tell them that condoms are a better alternative than abstinence.

It has nothing to do with morality. It's a safety issue. I have nothing against rock climbing either, but I wouldn't encourage a teenager to take it up, harness or not.

But, what to stop them in the heat of the moment?

^ Caracter will, you are so involved into science saying "Oh let them run like horses is part of it" they start telling you this since you are a kid and grow up like that, there are some teens out there that have been told a different story and they are cvery strong in their possitions, they don't go by the waves.

Toyi said...

they are just no too popular, but believe me they are stronger because they are not blind going.

OK, I am not debating those teens "strong in character" or too ugly to get laid, I am refering to those who aren't what about them?

I don't disagree with "Absitinence Training", you have 100 kids in the room, and 5 of them take that to heart, great, now what about the other 95.

after you tell them day and night what is right while they are growing up then let them have their choices, they get to a point were they understand the difference and consequences... they are the ones who chose to practice it or not.
Look as parent I will teach my girl about abstinance because that is my responsibility, if knowing this she decides to screw up than that will be her choice, I will be slaving her if I try to keep her away from the world, I rather her said later mama told me "ALL THE TIME" cause if you know there is a God promise in the bible...he says, give your kids my teachings all the time hang them on the walls and carv them on their minds and they will prevail "Faithful" to you and to my word.


Sorry Link but we are specifically talking about sexual/sensual stages on the general post.

But you would leave that burden up to a 14 year old?

Toyi said...

Wards of the State, then they come to me for help!
