High School Never Ends

High school. What's so good about it? Sure we've got proms, and formals. The homecoming football games, going to movies with friends on the weekends, the endless class projects, and then the relationships.
It's all a fun time, or so people say. But honestly, I don't get what's the big deal about it all.
The relationships aren't much. Teens falling "in love", only to break up in a few months time, and then "fall in love" a month later. We don't know what we want. All we want is that attention. That feeling of knowing that some girl, or some guy is "there for you". I don't get it. Love doesn't come that fast. Love takes time to grow, and get strong before it really is LOVE.
I recently liked this girl, and she said she liked me, but the night I was going to ask her out, I find out the other guy that liked her asked her. It sucks, no doubt, but hey, what can you do? She obviously sees something worthwhile in him, so I guess I should be happy for her. I'll find someone else to date in time, I'm not worried about it.
I think that dating in high school should be for fun, and not really taken seriously. We still have the rest of our lives ahead of us. How many teens nowadays are getting married right out of high school? I don't think nearly as many as back in the good old days.
So, here's to love, and the rest of our lives. May everyone find somebody to love for the rest of their life.

Hi Jake, This Gina(rella) Great love post. When I was 17yo, I didn't think about marriage and love too deeply. I concentrated more on my education. And I agree with your post. Go out and have fun!:)

ive found that the point of high school is to MAKE FRIENDS. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE AND HOLD THEM CLOSE TO YOU. RELATIONSHIPS AREN'T WORTH DIRT, FRIENDSHIPS ARE WORTH THE WORLD. ehem... erm, yeah. its true.

Donate a buck or two!
