Second, we do understand that children nowadays think they are more grown up then when some of us were that age. The problem is that its not real. Children are trying to rush into emulating adult behavior that they are not ready for. It doesn't matter that a lot of the children in your circle act that way. While it may be true it doesn't make it right. For a girl to be with one guy since 3rd grade means she doesn't know what other guys are like. So she has no clue what their relationship really means. That's why the teen age years should be for getting to know different people. When you are an older teen it time enough to start thinking about commitment.
You responded to a year old thread telling me I was wrong about something. The post was removed because it was an old thread, but I was not wrong, just because you think it is different in your school doesn't make me wrong or the situation right.
The reality is that the media has glorified adult behavior and make it appear that its cute when younger people try to emulate such behaviors. But most of the time such children are not emotionally ready for such behaviors and get hurt when they backfire.
Don't try to grow up too fast. Enjoy being a child for as long as you can.
Finally, why did you create a second account? Doing so can be against our rules.
