love is what counts

do you ever have those weeks where a lot of annoying things are said and done to you or around you? well this happens to be one of those weeks for me. the other day, I heard from a friend that some certain people were talking about relationships...specifically romantic. somehow the situation of a 16-year-old dating a 21-year-old was brought up. and somehow during this conversation it was decided that such a relationship would not be able to function properly or last. i cannot even begin to express how absurd this idea is. first off, why would ppl even bother to talk about such a trivial topic?? why is it any of their business whether or not a sixteen year old dates a 21 year old or not? it really is their own choice of whether they choose to be in a relationship with whoever...the person they are interested in...and i don't think they should be subject to criticism from people who do not understand the feelings involving the relationship...puppy love, or perhaps even true love...and the basis in which their relationship rests. do ppl go up to 24 year olds who are dating 29 year olds and question the legitimacy of their relationship? no. and if so, the causes of their inquiry would most likely not concern age...and if it does, i suppose it might be because these ppl, along with the ppl who criticize the 16 year olds, have rods (with shards or SHRANDS) stuck up their ass and seeing other ppl happy just twists the rod and cuts the inside of their colon. well, let me twist your stick another way...i think you are full of crap and that you should go and find a gf or find a relationship...either that or just be content with whateer you have and don't go butting into other ppl's business. 16 year olds have more capability than you will ever know...age is not a factor in love. perhaps it may be a little more difficult for this relationship to work because a 16 year old does not know where they plan on going. this however, is something that can be easily worked around. the exact same problem will occur with dating university students and even married couples. don't give me that bull about how high school students don't KNOW about themselves or haven't disCOVERED themselves yet...some high school students have lived more than you ever will.
