*claps* oh, I agree very muchly. I would just like to add one point. You people (actually, lots of people) just throw around the word "love". No. Not love. At this age, in high school, from the evidence I've seen in these silly relationshps... I cannot for one moment consider any of them "love". I think love is something far far far deeper that doesn't... cannot develop over short periods of time... A more correct word (that I have been searching for for a while, finally found what I would lable an appropriate one) would be the term "infatuation". I think it is far more accurate. Now, I have been sort of looking around for a better definition of the word "love" but I have been unable to find one. I'm not sure its something that can be defined... but at the same time, something you can tell wheather is there or not... Ghads.. This subject is incredibly dificult to talk about while making sense. Anyway. The point is: "love" is NOT the right word. It cannot be applied to these relationships. Please, if you have any better ideas than infatuation, please, do tell. Otherwise, if you don't mind, just like you say not to use the word "boyfriend" (or "girlfriend"), please, don't use the word love, okay?
