Eighth grade. Probably one of the best years of my life, while also the year where I'm jabbed at for lack of hormones. I really see no point in dating while your a young teenager. It's too early an age to actually understand or recognize love. Thus, if you can't KNOW that you LOVE ('like' is a word of Satan) someone, I can't find any reason to go out with them.
That, and I'm a hormone-lacking defect in the programming, so that might have done some altering to my ultimate opinion.

Alex! It's been a long(ish) time... where have you been?
Well, you're only young once, and it's better to get all the heartbreaks over with when you are because it's bound to happen someday and it might as well be when you're young (just like the chicken pox). And who knows? You might find The One as a young teen and be with them the rest of your life. A romantic story to tell to the grandkids…
I wouldn’t say that. I understand love (I think.. but then again, I may just be lovesick and unable to grasp the concept that I am but a young girl in a world of heartbreakers and loneliness… like everyone else that I mistakenly assume I am not like). I understand that it doesn’t happen often at our age, but it’s possible, and that possibility is what keeps people dating (the possibility that they might find true love). I understand that maybe one day I won’t be in love anymore… I’ve been warned. People break up, it happens… don’t fall to had or too fast, it might not work out. But I, and others like me, are willing to take that risk because love (or if you think I’m being a naive little girl, than this façade I call love) is worth it, being the best feeling in the world and all.
That's not completely true either... say there's a girl named Sally. She's knows a guy named Fred, who seems very nice indeed. Fred asks her out, but Sally doesn't know if she loves him, and on your advice, she says no. If she had said yes, wouldn't it have been possible that she would have fallen for him, gotten married (and had many babies who might become scientists and cure thousands of people)? Hmm? If she said yes, and realised it was true that she didn't love him, there's no point in continuing to date (unless there's a spark or a little voice in her head telling her to give him a chance..), of course, but isn’t it worth it, if she did find love in Fred? Or if she thought she did? Even if it didn’t work out, has she not gained experience?
Okay. Sorry, I’m prone to not making sense, and my thoughts are unorganized. But hopefully I got my point across… (did I even have point? Good question..)

Okay. Sorry, I’m prone to not making sense, and my thoughts are unorganized. But hopefully I got my point across… (did I even have point? Good question..) Yes, but I'm not sure what it was. I think dating at bloody 10 years old or something, fair enough is just not right. Yet I think dating at 13+ isn't bad. Fair enough, I'm 14, and I don't have a boyfriend, yet I don't see why I can't date. I think, if you were to date at 13-16, you should date someone either the same age as you or one year older or younger than you, so you can understand each other. |

"My doctor says there is a defect in my hormones and the I'm excused from loving."
I knew people that were "going out" all the way back when I was in 4th grade, even though people were shy back then and didn't want everyone to know it. So naturally, the "couple" never did anything besides- hey we're boyfriend and girlfriend isn't that neat and stared at each other. That kind of dating continued till the beginning of 6th grade when everyone started to get those irritating hormones. It was pathetic, and still is. And I do admit that I was involved in going out with people in 6th grade, but gave up in 7th grade when me and my best friend made a kind of agreement not to date until college and/or high school. This was mainly because the relationships never last. They're just teenage crushes. No one actualy loves each other. I doubt anyone even knows what love is. For example, the ghetto girl: she says she is in love with Mario (her boyfriend), but can't even explain what it's like to be in love.
'"What's it like to be in love?"
"Umm... something.."
"Can you describe that feeling?"
"umm... I LOVE MARIO!"'
People just go out with each other when they're young because they want to be like everyone else or they want to make out (or even further).

I haven't heard about that premature development before...
What does that have to do with stuff injected into food?

I think it's 12 to 13 years old when boys can produce sperm.
Why would they put growth hormones into the food?
Menopause would be when you stop having your period?

They put them in the food because they're sick bastards? That'd be my guess.
And actually, Souffle's right about that second thing. I don't think about half the things I write.

Love is so much different in 8th grade than it is when your older, when your mature enough to recognize it. I think you must be at least 16 to begin dating, because before then its too akward and you really are too young. Besides, so many people who end up making "bad decisions" date young.

Were you? Or did you simply think you were? A kid doesn't have to learn to love, they just do. I think a child is the only entity able to love unconditionally...adults just have too many issues. I also think I was a weird kid. I never found girls "icky" I was kissing girls at 5 and in love with one particular...even going so far as to hatch elaborate schemes to win her adoration. I was madly in love with a girl in the third grade. and I still think it was more pure than some of these "Loves" i've had as an adult. If I wasn't married I'd probably go try and find my third grade girl. How weird would that be? |

Not weird at all Kobo. I wish I could go back to preschool and find this guy Jordon I used to think I was in love with.
Yeah you guys talking about injecting stuff in food (guys stuff fingers in your ears) I started my period when I was in third grade. I thought I was dying and so did my mom. Whoa what an experience. I had some of the most strange experiences in my life when I was in third grade.
Thats the same grade I found out I had the reading level of a Senior in high school. *off-topic*
But yeah, about dating early. My english teacher says it is stupid. She rants about it. Boy I love my english teacher. That ranting gets us out of homeworks sometimes. But I don't really have an opinion on this, or it is still developing.
