Love: True or False?

Love or Illusion

How should I know? I mean who am I to judge?

The truth is I’ve never been in a relationship. Committing is the last thing I would be doing at this moment of my life. But I know some of the people who treated this emotion like a basketball match or who got victimized by this word.

I know it’s none of my business but it is kind of alarming to see how the other teenagers play on such thing.  They’re like talking to each other for a sec and the next thing you know; they are already in love with each other. I know it sounds ridiculous but it happens in real life. They sometimes confuse attraction/infatuation or something with love. And the worst part is after being committed for about two days up to 2 weeks, they will decide to break up and cry their hearts out. Now, that’s the time when it becomes annoying. They will start to fight in Facebook, sharing broken heart quotes, being depress, or thinking of suicide. But the cycle is endless as they start to find another person they can commit with after a day or two.Some even convince themselves that they’re in love for them to have girlfriends/boyfriends just to fit in with their peers. Some people even use it for their own advantage as they USE the people who are in love with them to do some errands. It’s like “Do you love me? Please do my assignment” kind of thing.

Is it really love? Or is it just a joke they pull on each other so they couldn’t bore themselves to death?

It’s like a disease… even some of the Elementary students are thinking about it instead of their studies. It’s ok if they’re good with their studies but some of them are barely passing because of it.

Again, I know I shouldn’t care about it and it’s none of my business but I am just voicing my concern on how many people would like to take their positions just to have a decent education. There are a lot of people who couldn’t study because they can’t afford to. And I’m concerned with this because it is also the root of teenage pregnancy which will result to the boom of our population.

Teens shouldn’t abuse the word love if they don’t really mean it. Love shouldn’t be an obligation or a requirement they need to be accepted by others. (But there will always be exemptions. I’m just pointing those people whose purpose of having commitments is for them to be cool or in.)

Love or Illusion. How should I know?
