Highschool may be the highlight of every person's life, it is the place you begin to explore yourself.

Where you try different things and choose whether you're into it or not. Not only is it where kids are forced to choose their future blindly but it's where romance initiates. Kids love falling in "love" although they may not exactly know what it is, they label it on relationships most of the time.

They claim to be in love once they find someone of the opposite gender that makes them happy. I fortunately don't have that mindset, I've developed the way I think of this topic from past experiences.

No I've never been in a relationship.

I've watched them develop from my sister, I've seen her fall in and out of love. Learned what a true relationship really is and every bad aspect of one. Because she'd cry on my shoulder or create sunshine with her happy stories and confessions.

In conclusion I've learned that love isn't easily given or recieved. It takes time, it needs effort. So whenever I see couples expressing their love for one another on social media I find it a bit humorous. It's easy to "fall in love" in highschool because it is never the real thing. It's simply two people that find each other attractive, speak to eachother as if they are best friends - except with intimate nicknames, have more physical affection than normal and sometimes only see eachother during school.

I can assure myself that I will never fall in love, and I will avoid relationships as much as possible throughout the last two years of highschool. I can only see them as distractions and waste of money when all I need is to pass all of my classes to get into college and find a true love there. Where I'm finally old enough to understand the basics of love and what it truly is.

You, the person reading this may be thinking that I am only bashing relationships because I don't have one. Well I'd like to correct you on that assumption. If I wanted a relationship I could have easily gotten one whenever I wanted to. Seeing as though I've had many opportunities I've rejected simply because I didn't and still don't need a boyfriend.

Falling in love in a span of a month is not real. Heartbreak is not real when you've known the person for two months. You've met them at their most childish moment of life, it being teenage years. Love is becoming something that is easily thrown into an intimate relationship. Which causes easy breakups, short lasted relationships, and oblivious expressions of affection.
