Because I haven’t been to any noteworthy restaurant in a long while, I’d like to have your opinion on a very controversial subject.
Teenage love.
Oh yes, the ever-bitter, forever-dramatic teenage love. Sophomore dating a freshman? What about a senior and a freshman? Or maybe freshman to freshman? Or possibly 8th grader to 8th grader? I’d just like to say a few words…
We can love. I swear we can. It might not be love to you adults out there, but belittling us doesn’t make it any less real. Sure, we call it love. But is it love? Not necessarily, but isn’t love just a deep passion for someone that you’ve had now and forever? I’ll admit that I love someone. I’ve loved him for a long time. (A year and a half. Maybe two.) But I’ve learned to live with it. He was there for me, and I was there for him. That’s a bond you cannot break, that of trust. Trust and love are hand in hand, my dear adult (or teenage) friends. Children can love. They can feel just as well as you can, but yet, I think their love is much more pure. It isn’t tainted by the sadistic reasoning of this world, or that of politics. They love for a real reason, they love without sin, and they never commit infidelity because they don’t know what that is. In all honesty, children are the best examples. They call love holding hands and kissing and telling each other secrets. That’s what it’s all about; that and communication.
So dear readers, thank you for taking the time to read above, and I’d like your opinions on this as well.

I am an adult! So, my young friend here is my opinion on “teenage” love. I believe that you can love. My fear is that often you become too “deep” in love too quickly. You become too adult before you need to. You lose your innocence before you need to. My advice would be to take it slow. Enjoy friendship. enjoy holding hands, walking together, talking together, laughing together. Leave the adult stuff for when you are older! I have teen age kids who have fallen into that adult trap of love way too early and gotten so hurt by it that it has caused them to grow up way to quickly. don’ fall into that trap. that’s my advice to you! Hold on to your youth!

Ha, I’d like to agree with you. Some kids take that ‘final’ step, and I think it’s just too far.
