high school romances

[anonymous]

ok bud, first let me say that I am keeping this anonymous because you don't really know me anyways, so don't bitch. I think your description of relationships is what I would call 'high school romances.' So as to not bash high schoolers, let me clarify. These relationships are of the most immature nature. Usually this involves extreme insecurity on the part of the girl, and all the drama just makes her feel that someone who would go through all this must really care. The immaturity of the guy allows him to think that he is in a meaningful realtionship because of all the shit they go through (actually, that is way generalized, but for the sake of time I will not elaborate). IMPORTANT: 'high school romances' are not confined to high school, I just labeled them that because I thought that by college people would get over the emaotional immaturity, but I was wrong. However, people do mature and understand that a realtionship is not the male treating the female like she is gold (as in that girl's quote), or the girl dating the ass who makes her feel alive. The mature people realize that a realtionship is a give and take, that love requires work from both sides, and that NEVER, EVER should either person be placed on a pedastal, it is a love between equals, and love is never easy, but never dramatized. Just take love for what it is and keep working on it, for it is never perfect.

*also note- i am not calling you immature realtionship-wise, for I have already stated that I dont really know you. I am just stating that there is a difference between the relationship that you depicted (and that girl's quote) and a mature relationship.

A well written response. You've reiterated a lot of things that most people seem to agree with so far. I believe the problem is that most relationships at our "maturity level" aren't sincere like the one your describing. From the nature of your post I would dare a guess that you're currently involved with someone, or have been involved with someone to that degree- in either case, you're very privelaged. The main point that Jake is trying to make is the relationships all around us, currently, are taking this path in some way, shape, or form. Since we can only see our immediate environment, it's fairly depressing. I'd rather people take this post, and it's responses, and try and learn from them. Even if you think we're all wrong (like the subheading says, if you think we're wrong...you're wrong) it would be wise to reevaluate your standing on these topics. I'm speaking for Jake when I say that none of this is meant to insult anyone, so please take the posts here as constructive criticism. This isn't going to turn into a bitch session.
