Recommended: Troubles of adolescence

Us humans are one of the most complex mammals on Earth. We feel certain feelings, we have goals and wants that are as high as Mount Fuji, and we also love. This complex feelling makes humans crave, fight, cry, and laugh. It’s one of our greatest strengths and one of our greatest weaknesses. Humans are people that are all different. There are babies, toddlers, young children, teenagers, young adults, and adults. Out of that list, teenagers are the biggest group of people that are usually very bipolar and emotionally distressed. While we are teenagers, we grow, learn, and learn even more. One thing all teenagers go through is puberty, the periodic stage of growth. Puberty makes our bodies grow, our minds learn new things, and make our emotions …show more content…

She thinks that love is an emotion that can control your actions and make you feel hate and fear. When teenagers go through puberty, our feelings and emotions are uncontrollable which causes us to make foolish and imbecile decisions. Many people think that teenagers just say they are in love just for the feelings, but most of the time it’s just our hormones controlling our minds like animals finding a mate. Teenagers go through a stage of emotional development when going through puberty, according to the article “Beyond Raging Hormones”. When teenagers are sad or mad, they usually listen to songs to cope with the heartbreak. One famous artist named Ed Sheeran is famous for his sad love songs. Although he writes sad songs, he wrote one song about loving a body of a girl he saw at a bad called “Shape of You”. The lyrics proved to me that people crave physical attraction the most, especially when they are heartbroken and sad.
While looking at love poems online, I viewed comments that asked, what is the difference between love and lust? Love is when you are patient, kind, and putting who you love first before your own self. Lust is a selfishness, disrespect, and having a lack of self control. Teens are usually caught up in lust, due to the fact that they are growing physically and emotionally. Some teens are just not ready to commit and make decisions,

  • Juveniles Should Not Be Prison

    As Paul Thompson states in his article Startling Finds on Teenage Brains from the Sacramento Bee, published on May 25, 2001, “.These frontal lobes,which inhibit our violent passions, rash action and regulate our emotions, are vastly immature throughout the teenage years.” He also says that “The loss[of brain tissue] was like a wildfire, and you see it in every teenager.”. This loss of brain tissue plays a role in the erratic behavior of teens, who cannot properly assess their emotions and thoughts. During this period of brain tissue loss, teens are unpredictable, adults do not know what their teen’s next move will be, teens themselves do not even know what their next move will be. As we grow our brains develop, therefore teen brains are not fully developed, so they cannot be held to the same standards as adults.

  • Difference Between Shakespeare And Irrational Love

    944 Words  | 2 Pages

    Love can mean so many different things. It is unconditional, selfless, accepting; an addictive feeling people crave. When a person falls in love, they fall in love with their heart and not their head. It’s an impulse from emotion, not rational judgement. Love is sometimes beyond control, defying logical reason. It is beautiful and insane all at once and doesn’t always make sense. Love and irrationality are set as the same, however rival entities, in a Midsummer’s Dream. As Shakespeare wrote, “...to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.” This is communicated through the story, specifically through four teenage lovers -- Hermia, Helena, Demetrius,

  • Love and Lust in Play-By-Play, Sex without Love, and Junior Year Abroad

    Lust is an incredibly strong feeling that can prove to be almost uncontrollable, leading it to commonly be mistaken for love. Due to the relative closeness of these emotions, both are often confused, and even when one is in love he or she does not recognize it. Many think that love just comes knocking on one's door and one will know when it does, but they don't realize that for love to occur a relationship has must be worked out. Love is described by some as fireworks, tingles, and butterflies in the stomach; but it is lust that can cause these things to happen, and it is these that mark only the beginning of a relationship. After a while, these feelings die out, and this is when the honeymoon period is over; it is from this point on that the relationship will either end or get stronger and eventually lead to true love.

In doing so, he broke it down into six points of interest: aggression, theory of mind, the golden rule, empathy, pleasure in anticipation and gratification postponement, and lastly, culture. Professor Sapolsky approaches each point with interesting fact-based examples thus allowing me to gain insight on humans and other primates.

  • Love In Barbara Fredrickson: What Is Love?

    1490 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I traditionally think of love, the dictionary definition often comes to mind. A natural feeling that happens often without control or forewarning; a feeling that overwhelms you completely. There could either be love at first sight or the feeling could be formed over a long period of time consisting of small moments that build up into this passionate feeling. “What is love? Baby don’t hurt me- don’t hurt me, no more”. The 1993 classic’s catchy hook may sound nice but has layers of sophisticated meaning. Like this hip single, much of mainstream music depicts love as a romantic, usually lustful, relationship between two individuals. Barbara Fredrickson brings to the forefront the idea that love may actually be much more.

  • Compare And Contrast Love And Lust

    1122 Words  | 3 Pages

    This misconception is so dangerous, that some people will date abusive people because they “love them” but love would not hurt oneself, but lust and insecurities combined allow the misconception to create a fictive reality of what is actually happening. Love isn’t about finding your other half it is about experiencing your other whole. Love does not hold you back it keeps you going forward and that’s what makes it beautiful. An everlasting feeling that should make one feel safe either with oneself or someone else. It is consistent, while lust is like a drug. Metaphorically let’s pretend lust is a high and just like any drug addict lust (drug) causes one to crave it, but once the high is over you crash which causes you to feel less. That low causes one to withdraw from themselves. They might not understand the truth of what it is because of the fact now they’re just chasing that high. I will add though one will never experience what love is unless they experience lust because without seeing what one does not want they will never know what they do. Just do not become
