Journal # 4

Journal number 4
FREE WRITE

This Journal has been bugging me for a few days, I have been trying really hard to think of something to actually write about. But earlier today, something happened, and I had recalled a memory of a conversation that I had had with one of my teachers last semester. My free write journal is about teen “love”.

Being in high school, I see teen relationships every single place I look, some of them good, others not so good. I have found though watching, and experiencing myself, that some people are just not cut out to be in a serious relationship at this young of an age. When it comes to teenage relationships there are three possible outcomes. You have the “Romeo & Juliet” kind of teen relationships, the normal relationships, and then the just random teen relationships.

The “Romeo & Juliet” kind of relationship is the kind you really do not want to have. It’s funny because if any little grade nine heard that name, before really reading the book, they would think that is the kind of relationship that they wanted. But in reality, it is the worst possible. It is the kind of relationship that is just not healthy for these kinds of kids. When you are anywhere in your teens, and feel that you love your boyfriend or girlfriend enough to kill yourself over them, it is kind of a scary thing. It is always a very difficult thing for anyone to really help with, because at that point, you think that you are so in love with the person, that nothing else in the world really matters to you, and it is very very scary.

The normal kind of relationships, are the ones you tend to see more in the senior grades. The teens still feel like that they love each other, but they are not to the point of being even close to suicidal if something happened to the relationship. These people tend to have more of a mature relationship, and are the ones that can clearly handle being in a relationship, and you can see that when you look at them together.

The third kind of relationships, are the random teen relationships. These are the weird relationships that by the time you hear about them in high school, they are over. It just shows you that most kids in high school tend to want to have someone, and these ones are the luck ones to notice that the one they have chose is wrong for them early enough to get out of it without hurting the other person.

All in all, teen relationships can be very difficult to deal with, and in all reality most kids really can not handle what they are getting themselves into.
