Reading over the past couple of pages, I took a glance and noticed a discussion about relationships and I'd like to add my two cents. Despite only being at the end of middle school, I've noticed since sixth grade that people have dabbled into "relationships" - if you can call them that; they usually last for about a week if they're lucky. I've always found it a bit odd that everyone else had started dating that early. Sure, maybe if two individuals were actually in complete and total love with each other to the point that every waking moment without each other was a pain in the ass it'd make sense, but for those who had and are dating it's all either about appearance and/or popularity; they'll date the other person because they're either good-looking and/or popular and as we all know middle school is nothing more than a popularity contest with bitchy teachers and piles of homework along with it. Now I myself have been in love two times so far during middle school.

The first I was in "love" with was really more of a simple crush and nothing more. We were friends and I crushed on her as we both liked the same bands - might seem weird, but whenever I meet someone else who likes the same bands that I do I automatically want to make-out with them; the music I enjoy is not commonly enjoyed among others my age at all so there's the reason behind that I suppose - and I found her to be kind and physically attractive as well. I remember that she used to hug me a lot and boy would I long for another one of her warm hugs right now. I also remember blushing hardly one day when she mentioned that she hugged me basically every single day loud enough for most if not all of the class to hear, but it wasn't that big of a class at all anyways. She moved transferred to another school during last school year - to my chagrin - as she had evidently, sadly, been bullied likely to an endless extent if she were to trasnfer schools, but she had a "boyfriend" basically every other week anyways.

Now the next person I was and still am somewhat in love with and have been since early last school year. I practically fell for her right when I met her. We were close friends at first; she sat by me on the bus everyday, said hi and bye everyday, we spoke a lot, joked a lot, and all around had plenty of fun. Then during the middle of the school year everything went rotten: I developed moderate to severe depression and she had gotten sick of my "negativity" and the pressure of my love fell onto her after I wrote a sappy poem and got even more depressed after she chose someone else over me - she loved me as if I were her little brother, not the other way. I had begun to more or less stalk her whenever I had the chance to at school: I visited her locket every single day, I bothered her a lot, I wrote poems about her and my love for her plenty of times, and such; so basically I went Helga G. Pataki, but to a lesser, not as creepy extent. But she likely found it to be too much pressure and also found it to be creepy and eventually she started treating me awfully to the point that I cried many times and self-injured not only because of her but for many various reasons all having to do with why I had depression.

By the end of the school year my depression was starting to fad thanks to therapy and I patched things up with her and my other "friends" who backstabbed me during my depression which ultimately caused me to have strong urges to die not only because of that, but also thanks to, as stated earlier, various reasons. Over the summer I calmed down even more and to this day I no longer have depression minus a few symptoms and some bad days scattered around here and there. My friendship with her remains of a lesser quality than it was before my depression, but ultimately things are going good for me right now.

So that was my relationship rant concerning others and mostly myself. As for sex, well I'm obviously too young for that but definitely not too young for masturbation, hurr.

That's a big wall of text, if it wasn't for the fact that your age is showed I would think that you're in college, my God.

This was pretty much the same at my school but it started in grade 4 instead and it goes on until the last year of highschool.

That's sad to hear, though remember that you're still pretty young, my first crush...was this year actually, wow i'm so late, but at least I didn't end up having one on someone who would have back stabbed me. Then again its impossible for me because I'm Asexual-Biromantic. Although now its kinda hard for me because a whole country in distance is making me upset and am considering breaking up because of that. :sad:

Well, if you're referencing the whole girlfriend-boyfriend stuff then that's been going on with my peers since before middle school but it was in sixth grade when everyone really seemed to begin to focus on relationships, both friendships and more. And I've had plenty of crushes before middle school all of whom had rejected me.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm still figuring out myself, but I'm pretty sure that I'm either bisexual heteromantic or bisexual biromantic, more likely the former but I'm still figruing out myself like I stated.

Yeah, and I don't know how I would even announce to my parents " mom,dad, i'm dating a girl in another country." I think i'd get slapped by my dad and get thousands of questions from my mom, but the distance in countries is what kills me the most. :(
Also, it took me 6 years to find out that, no hurry with it.

Well I can relate. I have no plans to tell my parents in the future at all. I'll likely end up keeping it a secret for my whole life because I just don't care either way.

Are you sure about that? Once I try to write a paragraph it ends up being a humongous wall of text and most of the time someone will say holy shit to them. Now, I don't put much of text in my replies because I am too lazy to type everything of what is in my mind while I write but it could end up very long and quite a bunch of weird things typed into this long text. Maybe I should stop there but I am not going to since you asked me to write paragraphs instead. I don't think I can write good because, like I said, I'm lazy and sometime I have difficulties to express myself even on paper, which is why I draw instead. Maybe I will get into writing someday as a pass time, maybe once I learn to not make up stories that never ends, maybe once I learn how to actually write things in story-like type and not text like this. Then maybe I will, but not for now, as I am too lazy. Sometime I go on and on talking about what I like and I think I annoy everyone, especially if its on the internet because, its just a wall of text, how will I know if the person is even reading what I sent them. Well I guess if they don't reply anything or reply something that has nothing to do with all the text I said shows they didn't read it, I must be annoying sometimes. Also, your writing skills are way better than mines honestly.
Oops there you go, I was starting a wall all about just that. :D

Well I got my dad pressuring me on getting a boyfriend, its not fun at all. While my mom just says I can take all the time I want. I don't actually understand how my parents even are together they are completely different from each others, and neither of them likes what the other do. I honestly find this weird.

If you feel it can be possible then I wouldn't cut it. Things may seem complicated now but you never know how things can change.

Hm, yeah, I can see the difficulty in that. I've got all sorts of ideas going trough my head that I know my parents probably won't be behind. I'd love to move into the city, go out to England, or anywhere else that decisions may take me. I do know that all of what is in my head is rather distant from them and doesn't guarantee me success or money. But I'd love to do it and I'm not gonna let them get in my way. They have their lives and I have mine. Funnily enough that's something my mother often tells me, yet she often fails to remember it herself. I know that if I told her going to university isn't even something I'm interested in doing right now she'd freak out.

Bullshit. No one should even bother to try and enter their opinion on someone else's relationships.

Well since my feelings are also going away I don't think it is.

I honestly see no point of him trying to force you Zepto

I should consider myself lucky that my father never forced me to go in relationship. He never even brought that as a subject for conversation.

Are you sure of that? I honestly thought the same thing for myself up until about a year ago when I was caught in a similar, unhappy emotional situation. A lack of excitement or positive feelings, coupled with general stress can greatly deplete or obscure your sense of orientation. I'm not denying the possibility of your actual biological asexuality, but such a thing is so very uncommon, and from the way you speak of it, I think there's a good chance you may simply not know what to feel.

As an aromantic asexual, I see no benefits in being in a relationship. I want to live free without being devoted to someone. I love all my friends equally and I would never put them in a some kind of stupid order on who's better. But when I told my mother that I don't want to get married, she just laughed and said my mind will change. Doesn't she know that it's an offensive thing to say? I honestly cringe at the idea. Some people may earn strength and happiness from something like that and I think fictional and real couples, such as the relationship my friend is in, can be truly adorable. But I myself would fucking hate every single second of romantic hollaballoo directed towards me.

I see relationships as a waste of time (no offense to anyone who is in a relationship)
Pretty much everything you said I agree with.

I totally share your opinion GN! Luckily my parents don't want me to have a girlfriend until I get a good well paid job. They saying something like I should offer the women something. But my school shares a different opinion which often leads into bulliing. It's like "be one of us or go fuck yourself!"

My views on romance in real life is, I'm not really bothered, I'll let it come to me when it does, not gonna rush into it. For anyone else in love or in a stable, healthy relationship, good for them.

But man, I'm really sick of romance in media. It seems like almost EVERY movie, book, TV show, etc. has to have some silly 'love interest' thing going on. Bleh.

Media portrays love like it's all happiness, when in reality I have yet to ever meet a person who has always been in a fine relationship and has not divorced. Almost everyone around me has divorced parents or has/is going trough it themselves. The only person I know who is truly having a better life because of it is my uncle, and that wasn't until he he got divorced at age 44. I don't wanna waste that much time. I'll just see how things turn out.
