Although I've never been in one, here's a thought:
I respect the intricacies of the teenage relationship. It's an agreement more than anything else. It's two people admitting that at some point in time, they'll no longer feel the same way about the other person. That, at some point in time, they won't be together anymore. That, at some point in time, they'll hurt...badly. That in the future they'll feel like shit, that they'll hurt and hurt and hurt, that things won't be the same. But, in full knowledge of this, they allow themselves to be known intimately and become enamored and infatuated. They say: I know that you'll hurt me, or that I'll hurt you, but right now I don't care, right now you make me happy and I want that happiness more than I fear the inevitable pain that comes with it.

If person can get someone to feel that way about him, then there has to be something wonderful and amazing and courageous and crazy inside that person, even if both parties will choose to ignore those qualities in the future.

There really aren't bad guys. If you're alive then you've hurt someone, how can you hate someone else for doing the same? Whether you know it or not, you've caused someone pain.

So fuck that shit. Life is dynamic. And I'm willing to trade a lot of pain for a little happiness, because otherwise you're just stuck with a shitload of pain.

But like I said, this is something I've never experienced.
