Why?

Okay, in high school is the time that people let their hormones run high. Love, and relationships is pretty much all that is on teenager's minds, or at least in my friends. Whose flirting with who, who broke up with who, whose cheating on who, whose dating who, and so on. It's all about love, and it has become an obession.
And now, i may ask, why? Why do people let their hormones control their entire doing? Do they realize they are creating trouble for themselves?
I am guessing that they don't. When someone is mad, they tend to block out all common sense, and the fact that what they are doing effects others then themeselves. If you start with someone, chances are, they are going to react back, and then you'll get into an arguement. Like if someone plays you for a fool, for an example. Instead of thinking of ways on how to get them back, think of ways that you can take the high road, and actually take the high road, because in the end, the pain and how you deal with it, makes you stronger, not by starting a fight with them, and making things worse, because in the end, you'll look better. Sure, you'll feel the same amount of pain, but you will know how to handle it the right way.
In high school, we typically don't know what we are doing with anything. We are growing up, physically, and mentally. Typically, we don't know what we want, especially when it comes to love. So, don't be suprised that your forever is a month or two, and you call a dozen boys your one and only by your senior year. Love in high school, is usually something that is short-lived, in most cases.
What about the pressure about getting a boyfriend? Some girls don't usually get all of the guys, while others have already done the deed of having sex with someone. Some boys would happily date, while others would be in the friend catergory.
Overall, love is strange, and no one truely knows about it. One can experiance it a thousand different ways, but no one can truely know everything about it, especially when you are young, and don't know what you want. You will get hurt, and you will be going through changes. What you want this year in a mate could change next year. But don't let it overpower you. Just let it happen.
