RE:iloveyou, an 8 letter word for bulls**t

A quote i found from Karen Chavez' s blog about love really stuck out to me. She says:

All love basically is you give someone all the love you have until they decided to hurt you or end it...Love doesn't last forever!Love is just a word that someone made like all the other words.

I agree with Karen when she says that love is pretty much just an idea that someone came up with that a lot of people believe. Especially at our age, it is pretty rare to find someone that you will actually be with for the rest of your life. Of course, we all watch movies and read stories about two people finding each other, falling in love and living happily after and we all like to believe that this will happen to us one day, but i've finally realized that this is not what actually happens in real life. We're all only in high school and sure, you can have strong feelings towards someone and feel like you want to be with them forever, but chances are, this isn't going to happen. At this age especially, you can't really automatically believe somoeone you're with when they tell you that they love you, and (not that im judging) but this is normally the case for girls.

When you're a teenager and you are dating a guy, a lot of times they will just tell you what you want to hear, even if they don't mean it in order to get something out of it. For examle, about 2 weeks ago i was watching the Tyra Show and she had about 8 girls on that were around the ages of 13-17. They were discussing about how young they were when they lost their virginity and these girls were surprisingly very young. There was one girl who I think was about 14 and she said that she had very low self esteem. She wasn't the thinnest of girls and she said that she didn't feel like she was pretty enough. So, she turned to guys they would tell her that she was beautiful and that they loved her , but she said after she had sex with them she would never hear from them again.

It kind of shocked me that this girl would just believe all of these guys after having the same situation happen to her more than one. You would think that she would be a little smarter than to continue to believe guys when they said they loved her, but some girls aren't and guys know this. I'm not saying that all guys are cheaters and liers, it's just that at our age a lot of them aren't really looking for love so it's kind of hard to believe them when they tell you they love you.
