[Ms.Squeakers]

Okay...
So I know there has been a thread on this but...seriously something is wrong with today's world.



We were talking in English about how some sayings wouldn't make sense if you used the sentence with the way the words normally mean.


Example :

Sometimes you have to take life by the horns.



-----
Okay well I was thinking about it and "I love you" is completely different when said now...




Would anyone else be mad at this situation :


Lets say you have a really good friend and he got a new girlfriend
then he goes out with her for less then a day and starts running around the place screaming "I LOVE HER SO MUCH" and writes it in PERM marker over EVERYTHING.

No.
Wait.
It gets better!

So then after a few months you give in saying "Well..thats lasted longer then any other relationship that Ive ever seen and you actually hang out and talk to each other.. maybe you really do love her a little"

THEN
NEXT WEEK AFTER SAYING THAT
They break up.

No wait.
It gets better!

So then he is HEARTBROKEN he completely shut himself down from the world, he wouldn't talk to anyone, and most importantly he wouldn't accept hugs...from ANYONE. (which is REALLY bad).


So then the next day he went out to the movies to get his mind off of it when he meets some girl from another school.
She just came up to him and said "I wanna have sex with you" (remember these are all 12/13 year olds) and so then he talked to her for 5 minutes and then immediately after she asked him out and so now they are

BUT WAIT IT GETS BETTER


The next day at school all he can talk about is his new girlfriend and how much he loves her, and i say "i cant believe i EVER felt sorry for you, because now you don't even CARE about your old girlfriend, and are going out with someone you have only known EXSISTED for 4 hours, but only talked to for 5 minutes...im sorry, but thats pathetic"


He also CHEATED on my best friend with his ex-gf.



AND IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS RELATIONSHIPS
HE ALWAYS LOVED THEM.



Is anyone else ticked off by this?


I think that teens cant love.
The only time i have ever seen TRUE teen love, is between my uncle and his wife.


Love -

IS NOT :

Just agreeing that you like someone and they like you back.


Just because you are going out with someone , doesn't mean you love them.

Half of the time people that are in relationships, were in relationships, before friendships.





LOVE
Is special, even I don't know what true love is.
I mean yes I love my friends like siblings but I don't LOVE LOVE. Even when I turn 16 and my crush and I go out, that doesn't mean that we are in love.


I don't know.
Am I just going crazy?
Does this make ANY sense at all?

 

[LoveGoofy91]

I agree. I've seen people say they're in love after barely knowing each other and not talking much, but suddenly they're in love. Love is hard work, fun and wonderful, but hard. It's not just we like each other! It's being there, caring about someone more than yourself, wanting to be with them no matter what, and more. I wish people would take it seriously, but I have seen love in teens, and while it's immature love, I've seen it grow through the years and get stronger and whether they make it or not, it's unlikely that they can be taken seriously now because so many pre teens and teens go around using the word really lightly. I don't think it'll change though. I've seen 12 year old girls saying their boyfriend has proposed to them, and the "relationship" usually doesn't last more than a week or so. It's so dumb when they don't even care about the person! They just like each other so they think it's automatically love.
*ranting over*
:] I hope he realizes what love really is and stops embarrassing himself.

 

[GirlWithSpunk]

No, no I agree with you.
People say I love you like its nothing at all, noone takes it seriously anymore.
Especially when the person you love can backstab you, cheat on you, hurt you, etc.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

:] I hope he realizes what love really is and stops embarrassing himself.

No
Im the one embarrassing MYSELF.

I am actually quite a mature 7th grader for my age.
Not by smarts, but by the way I behave.

Im the only one that screams "MY GOSH, YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"

 

[OneTreeHill]

I agree with you totally.
That is crazy what your friend did, but I have alot of friends who do things like that.
Like I'll tell my friends I love them, and they say that to me. But we love each other like siblings. Not love, love.
And when someone says they love someone after only dating for like, a day. It bugs me.


My example:

My friend was dating this guy. Let's call him A. So they date for about a week when they start saying they love each other.
Then, a week after that, one of my other friends, a guy, we'll call him B, says he likes my friend who is going out with A.
So she dumped A, and goes out with B.
Within 3 hours they are saying that they love each other. And writing it on their hands and everything.
It's crazy.
You can't love someone that fast.

Errr.

 

[I'm a Divaaaaa]

Im the only one that screams "MY GOSH, YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"

Haha, thank goodness. I really hate when people date for 3 seconds and are in love.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Its not that I don't believe in teenage love at all.
I just think its extremely rare, and by rare I don't mean "well..me and my bf are different"

NO
YOU ARE ALL THE SAME!!

*Rips out hair*


Some relationships I absolutely adore.
My friend is going out with this guy and all they do is hang out with each others like best friends and at most hold hands, when people ask her if she loves him she said "no" and they get offended and say "but hes your boyfriend", and she says "Yeah, not everyone 'loves' their boyfriend..."



I respect her a lot.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH,

This "ily" stuff is driving me insane.
OKAY.

So all my friends think that my crush and I are in love with each other. Every single time we deny it.
Its not true, we don't! I just admire him and we are really good friends.
I don't believe in going out at my age, but if we did, and he liked me back then we would be.
It just doesn't make sense to go out.


Especially because going out would be the same thing anyway except...grosser and unnecessary stuff.


BF/GF is just an excuse to make out with someone and since I don't feel like making out with anyone, then i will just stick to hanging out, having little inside jokes, hug to say hello and goodbye, and winks.

 

[OneTreeHill]

Oh, I totally agree.
I'm sure that teenage love is real.
But not everyone who dates loves the person they date.
And I think it is so ridiculous if you date someone for like a day, that all of a sudden you love them.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Ugh.
These immature kids at my school will tell the other they like them, and so they assume they're dating because the feelings are reciprocated, and then it's OMG ILY on their msn...
And two weeks later they're 'broken up' because they didn't do anything together -.-
And then they go and date their friends friend. They only date within that circle. I don't know what's going to happen when they've all dated each other..

 

[DramaQueen]

hmmm okay well i kinda agree and kinda disagree.
obv. your friend takes everything too far.
and at 12/13 you REEALLY don't know much about relationships or love or whatever.

but i believe you can be in love more than once.
like real romantic love. i mean, why couldn't you be.

i tod my BF I loved him after we'd only been dating for TWO MONTHS and I was only 16 (i know riiiight) but you know what, I still feel the same now as I did then, so I didn't not mean it before just because we hadn't been dating for a year.

I told an ex-boyfriend that I loved him as well, and I meant it.
I don't love in anymore, you can fall in and out of love. (IMO at least)

Your friend obviously doesn't know what REAL love is yet. But love means different things at different ages/times in your life i guess.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

They combine circles.
Its a weird thought but its true.
I always wondered why populars "invited" people to their tables until one day I realized that it was just because they ran out of play toys.

Exactly. They need a new guinea pig to race around.

These few "popular" girls talk to me and act like they're my best friend...

... yet when they make a date to hang out, it never happens.

Oh, that's happened... about...

... 5 times maybe?

-.- FAILURE

^ random and I felt the need to stick that in thar XD

 

[OneTreeHill]

I also agree that you can fall in love, or be in love more then once.
But I think you need to be dating someone for alittle more than a day before saying that they love each other.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Nah, I doubt that would happen.
They'd have to find a group with the same sense of immaturity as them.
It's doubtful that they could.
These kids are those in between kids, that wouldn't stoop lower, and can't go higher.
And well the kids at the same level as them don't like them much xD

Some schools are different.

For example mine are split up into 4 groups (based on how many "teams" there are in my school)

then at lunch they all combine into one, but only date in their own "team")

 

[jemberly_ann]

like. idk.

ill say that i LUV a guy (look how i spelled love) maybe he was just saying that he really liked her. thats how people in my grade talk. love is a hard emotion. you never know if you are really in love, or if you just really like someone. i dont think that i want to LOVE someone until im wayyyyy older.

my friend sent me an email, and it said that when you sign ur name with LUV, then it means ur really close friends, or its like from. when you sign ur name with LOVE, then it means a whole lot more. idk what real love is, but i think i can wait to find out.

I completely agree with you.

 

[disneychick2721]

ITA.
This is why when my sister says to me, 'well at least i've had a boyfriend before', it doesnt effect me. It doesnt really mean anything at this age, so why waste my youth on stressing over stuff like that.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I think that teens cant love.

No I'm sorry, that's wrong. Trust me, teens can love. I have.

When you're in love, those 3 simple words just mean the world to you. When you know that that other person feels as strongly as you do. When you know that you truly, deeply love someone. Almost nothing means more than those words.

So, when you have really been in love, it's easy to distinguish real love with that 3 week love between kids. They might be the same words, but they don't mean the same things.

I'm not sure many of you will understand what I'm saying, but I'm sure a few of you will.

I understand completely.
I honestly couldnt have said that any better, but thats basically what I meant.
