Link to original post: [drupal=1992]A Note that I wrote from when I was Younger[/drupal]



"I am sad for those who are confused. Many people have it hard physically, emotionally, or both. I wish that those who are emotionally (and physically) hurt would learn sooner that life is tough. I have learned this early the hard way, unfortunately. Life is full of ups and downs, but one of the most important lessons to learn in life is to keep a level head. If something bad happens to you, accept it, and move on, instead of wasting precious time of our lives. We have only one life, so why waste so much of it?

I know that it is much worse when we are young, within teenage years, the last years of our innocence. If we try to mature too quickly, by dating, kissing, and those unfortunate enough to have sex in early teenage years, we lose the only link from kids to adults. We lose our innocence. While some of us date, kiss members of the opposite sex, and (unfortunately) more, there is no more innocence left. I am not saying that if you have kissed someone, you are now no longer a child. Quite the contrary. All I ask is why? Why do we waste our innocent years on what will happen over decades and decades? The answer is that we are tempted by what maturity has to offer: potential (increased) happiness, kissing, and eventually, sexual intercourse. One may argue that our hormones make us think of these new possibilities. This is partly true. Yes, hormones do force our minds to think and consider having a sexual partner. However, we make the final decision as to when you start seeking another member of the opposite sex. Why must we consider a partner as an definite option for a lifestyle, so young? I don't think that we should start this so early. When you start kissing early, there is nothing forward to look forward to, other than sex! So, after kissing, the next option is what should be unthinkable at our current ages. Sure, our brains are hardwired for sex, but why start this activity so early? We need not to. Why must we start in Middle School? Why not High School?

My point is this: when we seek out a member of the opposite sex early, we do not consider the fact that we can get hurt. We are not mature enough to handle the fact that we will not always stay happy while involved with relationships. In conclusion, remember this: being in a relationship can be a double-edged sword. While you like being with a member of the opposite sex, you can be hurt as well.

Thank you for reading this all."

That is what I wrote a long while ago, when I was 13 and all of my friends were getting into the dating buisness. Not bad, but noone was as mature as I was, unfortunately.

I like this. It has a lot of truth in this.

Also, Peter Noone does not like you using his name. You should probably put spaces between o's.

Quite interesting thoughts you have (had?) there.

Also, "nobody" is (written as) one word, "no one" is (written as) two words.. "Noone" is a last name.

~It's natural. Poeple long for affection/love/interaction/etc. In fact we were pretty much made to reproduce. Over the many years man's mind and morals evolved further than other animals. And now we think differently than we did in our original natural way of thinking. However our bodies have yet to catch up. We still have these urges, tendencies, and feelings regardless of our logic, morals, and every reason you gave in the OP on why teens should wait.

~Not long ago, what we now see as teenagers were considered adults. Kids were married and had kids at the age of 16. In some cultures they still do. The life span was lower in those times so it made sense. But times changed quickly. As humans have come to know more and advance further new ideals have been set forth. Where it use to be that people should marry at the ideal age of 16 it is now ideal to marry much later sometime in the 20's. Our bodies have not fully caught up to this change.


~lol at the nooone thing.

~"of the opposite sex"
haha what about gays. Do they have an exception?

Good note. I started dating in Middle School but I figured puppy loves ment nothing, that High School was the real deal, yet I still find relationships not that well formed and lacking full understanding from both people.

On a random note, when I was young had a similar experience, I wrote "birds will fly" in an old book, saw it one day, and realized I had no f**king sense when I was younger. I guess I must have thought I would know in the future what that could possibly apply to.

~Wait so what about the same sex?

~Also some people consider dating at that age to be mature. I had some relatives visit recently and my aunt found my crazy insane cousin to be "mature" simply because she was all over boys. She didn't think the same way about me simply because I wasn't as eager to date as my cousin was.
