School Love?

Well, I've noticed the sudden up-rising in love threads. And well, love. I personlly don't think you trully love someone when your in middle school or below...er, if thats even a word. o_O Well anyway, I mean how can you feel if you know your not going to grow up with this "lover" and have kids. I mean I hear all the gossip in my school, mostly cus I don't hang out with a specific group. "Sally broke up with Jim yesterday!" I mean I just heard Sally hooked up with Jim a week ago. See, kids roughly our age, don't truly know about love. Yes I'm going out with this girl. But! I know I'm not going to be her boyfriend forever. So I never get really deep in this love stuff, yet.

My friend feels the same way. Only he put it in more funnier words.

"See you don't trully love someone, yet. You just go out with them to make out or get some nookie (Our word for sex and whilst saying this word we do a pelvic thrust XD)!"

Sooo, what are your ideas of love at a young age?

I think love at a young age isn't something a person sould be worrying about. School work is the most improtant thing at that age. I just got a serious girlfriend a little over a year ago. (Note: I'm 18 ) So stick to your school work and get good grades. It worth it, take my advice, you'll thank me later in life.

i used to think i was in love with this one girl... she ripped out my heart and stomped on it so many times i had lost count. it IS possible to fall in love at this age. but very rare. thats what i think anyway.

majora, you are so right. School is so much more important right now that there really isn't much time for any love relationship during your teenage years. Sure, you hang out with girls and all, but really, focusing on your grade is so important. (Some might not think so)

You will have all the time you want when you graduate, but for now, you might want to start worrying about how to pass those tests. Lol...

I never said I was in love. Besides I get good grades, and i mostly half-ass eevrything. I'm just saying most kids don't know what its about.

I actually felt love for the first time in Middle School. He was the funniest, cutest kid. He was my friend for those 3 years, and I think it was obvious I liked him, but he liked other girls. My love was left unrequited and I still wonder about him now, 10 years later. *Sigh* Oh well.

However, I thought it was really weird seeing other kids dating. When I was 13, seeing kids my age hold hands and kiss was totally bizarre. It was especially weird seeing who decided to go with who. I remember finding out about one couple and being like, "She's going out with HIM?" because she was really smart and pretty and he was an idiot.

There was another boy I liked, but my arch-enemy liked him too, so we were always competeing for his attention. When I cut my hair I looked pretty good, and she was so jealous that a week later she cut her hair too, and she said to me, "See, now my hair is short too!" I just said "Yeah, ok."

Because of crushes in Middle School, I was kind of depressed a lot, because the boys I liked all were sort of shy, but they were all my friends and I think they just weren't ready to date anybody yet, and they sent me mixed signals, making me crazy. But girls mature faster than boys, so it makes sense now.

I say, don't let other kids influence your actions. Don't think that you have to find love, or be super pretty or handsome, or anything like that. Even in High School, my friends freaked out and thought they would never find anyone or ever be happy. I was always saying, "You're a teenager! Most likely, you have another 70 years to find somebody!" It's not a race, nor is it even necessary. Love is distracting, and in Middle School it's more of a hassle than anything. But attraction is inevitable so, just don't take anything too seriously yet.

My deepest love began in middle school. And believe me, I still feel the *consequences* (if I should put it that way...how bout "ripple-effect?") of the many-years relationship to this day.

Ah, but that's just me.

majora, you are so right. School is so much more important right now that there really isn't much time for any love relationship during your teenage years. Sure, you hang out with girls and all, but really, focusing on your grade is so important. (Some might not think so)

I love those words.

Hey Big Bro, Get on AIM :p

I truly believe you cant fall into "love" until your junior or senior year in high school.
For example, my friend thought he was love with this girl that he NEVER talked to except say hi to her once or twice... You have no idea what it was like, for 3 months before and after he was rejected.. All he did was cry and moan about her when he never said a single word to her, it pissed me off.He would spill his thoughts into me every day, i supported him and all but god damn, he actually wrote stuff about her on his computer....They were not nice lol. Now he has found some girl from a high school very close to mine and thinks he loves her too....... He met her on AIM, and has only talked to her on the phone and on the internet.... all i can say is: SAD, even though he is one of my best friends.
All i can say is your not truly in love when you are in high school/middle school anyways. One day your with one girl, and the next you've broken up and feel bad. You find new one and it repeats with the same end. There is no love. Many people dont understand it and they will not agree on me with this. YOU CAN'T FIND TRUE LOVE when your still in grade school (except wierd freaky occasions)

I fell in love in 4th grade, believe it or not.

been in a deep depression ever since.

Love?? Bleh :p
Yeah, I had crushes over some cute guys when I was yonger, but never had the courage to tell them. Well, my first and deepest love happend 2 years ago. Heh, How we got together? It's funny because I was waiting for my Uncle's wife to pick me up, and this guy comes over and talks to me. He told me that his brother likes me and he wants to talk to me. And, well, I agreed. I met him a week later and he was so handsome. Been together for a long time. And last year we broke up. He was acting all weird and didn't want to see me. And one day, at school I saw him walking with this other girl and holding hands with each other. I guess he got tired of me From that day, I never felt in love and that's because I don't have time for guys or love. Couple of boys asked me out, but I refused all of them. I have to stick with school, and work. I don't even have time to sleep!! :p

i believe any1 can be in love at any age (except maybe in kindergarten or sumthin!) i think that you will actually know wen u r in love no matter how old you r... so i think it is possible 2 fall in love in primary school (and above obviously). i dont really know how 2 explain it... well, put it this way, im 16 & i know im in love at the moment (i have the symptoms!! ) but i do believe u can fall in love at an earlier age. :rolleyes: woah that was hard 2 explain!!!

falling in love is a deep thing. another thing to remember is that in pre teenage/teenage years all your hormones are messed up and will go up and down dramatically. having relationships at that age will only result in loads of broken hearts etc . i know i've said this before but allow me to repeat: there is a time for everything. and pre 15 does not, to me at least, sound like the best of times to have a relationship ..
i'm not saying it can't work, it's just rare.

@Anime_Queen: that sounds like a fair point! i agree with you... but so then u do think it is possible 2 fall in love at around 15 or 16?? well anyway, that was a good po9int u made!

Of course its possible to be in love when you are that young, but its just that its a very rare thing as Queenie dear said. Either way, its always healthy to experiment.

It is possible to be in love when you're young, you just usually don't realize it. I really can't tell if i am right now or not.

Always healthy to experiment? Heh, I must disagree on that point, wholeheartedly.

Okay. I admit that there's this girl that I like... Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I REALLY like her, you know what I mean? I want to ask her out, but I'm really shy and I just can't do it. In the end, I slammed my head against the wall and said: "Let's just forget about it."

Lol.
