What is Love?
I see love for someone to be during college or after college. All of those highschool relationships that people feel they need to have, seem like a waste of time, or a way to feel grown up. I eman, sometimes driving in Manoa, I see little 6th and 7th grade Filipino couples (not to be racist) holding hands, and that just seems like such a fake picture of love. I am not sure what their main motivation is, unless they are planning like many public school relationships to start families at the age of 17 (stereotypical). I feel love isn't something you should be rushing into like some girls who feel obligated to always have a boyfriend. Whats up with that? I mean, enjoy life in highschool, and wait till you are ready for a relationship. I'm not jealous of those couples who start in 7th grade though it may sound like it because I'm talking pretty low of them. I feel love is more than just being with a person, its understanding them. I feel you you should wait until you understand yourself before you try and understand someone else. This is my own opinion, and I am not jealous of those high school relationships, I just feel personally I need more time before I try to understand what love is all about.

your piece is really good...totally agree
I feel the same way about those seventh grade relationships. When I look back at the relationship I had in eighth grade I sort of regret started a "real" relationship that young. My little sister is in seventh grade and when she talks about the boys she likes and how much drama there is, I simply roll my eyes at her and tell her to not make a big deal out of it. At that young of an age they should be carefree and enjoy the days without homework. Ami you mainly talked about how seventh grade relationships are dumb, but what about highschool?
this is a good perspective on "love." i like how you came down to the realization, and how people make such a big deal about middle/high school relationships. now that we are seniors, we begin to realize how silly and dumb we must've looked getting giddy over boys (or girls). i agree with krislyn. you expanded so much about your middle school experiences, but what about what you've seen since freshman year?
That is really good Daniel. Love.. wat is it? You inspired me to write a piece about love as well. You really are inspirational Daniel. You should further expand on your personal relationships that you've had so far.
