High School Love : Love, Betrayal, Bonds

Love should be born and live in fields, just like wild flowers. Love needs to be nurtured by water, with no concern about where and when the next rainfall will take place. Love needs to allow nature to take its course and trust in the sustenance that its surrounding provides. However, love refuses to take the easy path. Instead, love decides to live in kitchens alongside irritated cooks, dirty walls and screaming infants with impatient mothers. Clearly, love would be better off without concerns, growing in a field like an iris, patiently waiting for the next rainfall. However, love chooses to exist in chaotic environments filled with discontent and discord.

I think I speak for many people when I say high school is a critical point in one’s life. Coming into high school, things seemed to be tightly-knitted between my peers and I; those of us who had just

High School culture has changed since the “old days.” Students from all grades are not only striving for academic success, but also participate in many extracurricular activities as outside forces continue to impact social life.

“True love is hard to find.” “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”. These words have been told to and heard from family, friends, co-workers and even words in a poem. (A.C. Bradley). These words are said to someone to comfort and express sympathy and understanding to one that is having a relationship issues. Only a lucky few have found true love the very first time love has entered the into their space, some have managed to remain married over forty years or more. Life’s dilemmas interfere with true love from entering the lives of the people that love has touched. Parents protecting their children, worrying about what other think, love not being reciprocated, fell in love too young, self-esteem too low, looking for

“Love is one of the most profound emotions known to human beings” (psychologytoday.com). Everyone has had at least one relationship in their lifetime filled with fervor and jubilation. In fact, it typically starts at birth with a loving family ready to endure their cheerful child. Since it is different for everyone, the next amorous relationship could lie within anything from friendly relationship to a romantic one. The wondrous emotions that are felt are something people search for forever, but not everyone encounters every kind of relationship there is.

At first glance high school seems to be a fun and relaxed time. A time that you get to hang out with friends and participate in extracurricular activities. Some of your most treasured memories will be made in high school. However, high school is a cruel and unforgiving place.

After reading selections of “Love 2.0”, by Barbara Fredrickson she makes it apparent that there is more to love then what we see it as. There is a science behind love that cannot be changed, it gives it a meaning and allows

When people hear the term “loving” the first thing that pops into their minds is a relationship. Essentially, they aren’t wrong, but relationships don’t have to be solely romantic. Acting as a loving person doesn’t have to be tied to a romantic connotation, in fact, the act of becoming a loving individual as a Prep grad at grad usually centers around being a loving individual in the eyes of friends, family, and most importantly, loving yourself. Much of the confusion surrounding the high-school setting that plagues incoming freshman year after year is learning how to act in front of a relatively new community. At least for me, the majority of depictions of high-school life on popular mediums such as television shows and movies horrified me as a child. High-school seemed like an environment filled with rampant drug use, drinking, and unwarranted fighting about seemingly useless things. I specifically remember staying up late one night while I was in sixth grade and watching the Owen Wilson movie, “Drillbit Taylor” in which three bullied students in high-school hired a body guard in order to protect themselves from other students. This movie completely terrified me as I wondered if I too would be physically bullied for no reason in high-school. Now of course most of the things depicted in mainstream media about high-schools are

Everyone at least once in their life has experienced love, whether it is from being in love or being loved. But, what is love? What can we learn from it? Even though Merriam-Webster dictionary simple definition of love is “a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person”, there are multiple meanings to this strong word.

The main purpose of the book is to see how areas like public spaces can affect interaction with one another and the chances of meeting. After reading these stories, I believe it teaches us that love takes patience, and that love can cause a broken heart.

Love can prove to be the most beautiful emotion out of all that can help one self or another evolve and bloom the pedals of their personalities and/or mindset that would leave the sweet scent of Romeo and Juliet. Or love can prove to be a fallout that would aide in the shattering or destruction of oneself or another which would leave a stench of The Great Gatsby. Personally, I feel that love should be a trigger that sets off a growth in oneself. The growth should be a positive force that evolves, teaches, and connects you a little more to the center of your personality. It shouldn’t have a negative impact that make you deviate from the main attribute that makes you special as an individual. An example of this is the effect on Jo March after
