I Love You
I love you.
It’s said all the time. But do people really mean it? Do they know the difference between true love and just a fling?
My best friend had her first boyfriend this year and about three or four months into the relationship, they started saying I love you. The sad thing is, is that they never kissed. Every time she would say I love you, I wanted to ask her, “Do you really?”
I don’t think that you truly love someone until your willing to give up anything and everything to be with them. I love you is meant to be forever, not just a few months or a year.
The saddest part about this is that “I love you” is both overused, and not said enough. For the people who really need to hear it, it’s not heard. But for the people that say it just to say it, you hear it all the time.
Love is a powerful word; it can either break your heart, or complete it. Don’t say “I love you” unless you truly mean it. Everyone will find their true love one day - or at least, that’s what I like to believe - because it’s not just in fairy tales.

I think everyone who posted onto this piece, has a great opinion and great viewpoints. I do believe you can find love at ages such as 13 or older. Maybe even younger, but i wouldn't count on that too much.
I am a rising junior in high school, and so many times I see my peers getting into relationships that only lasts a few weeks or a few days. In my greatest opinion, I do not wish to get involved with a relationship that I know will not last long. My grandmother always tells me that I will meet a lot of guys in my life, but I have one right now that I pray and hope I could have forever.
I believe a relationship will last longer if you establish a friendship first. That's what I did with my boyfriend. He was my best friend for two years and I never thought we would be anything until this day. If you create a friendship, the bond between you too will be so strong. You can be deeply and madly in love, but at the same time you both still act like the best of friends.
Love is everywhere. But you shouldn't look for it. It will come your way. Do not be desperate or hasty to find it.
Great article. Keep writing.
