Teens-Do you believe this to be true?

Looking for love?

It’s all about the numbers. A daily chart in the article about car ownership states that “LUXEMBOURG'S roads are jammed with 647 cars for every 1,000 people, the highest ownership rate in the world.”

Pretty scary statistic but not as crazy as the number of teens in our local high school.

With over 2,400 single, available teens in our High School alone, each student has about 1,200 members of the opposite sex to choose from daily. You can pick someone based on hair color, height, intellect, sports activity or even by lunch hour. You will have a hard time exhausting all the options. But if you do, you can always head to the football games and meet another thousand options from the rival school. Sweet!

Or is it? The problems with using school as a dating service are many:
1. Where is their past accident report?
2. What happens when you break up and you have to see them everyday in math class?
3. How do you make after school romantic when you just spent a whole day together in school?

Truth is, it’s so easy and comfortable at school that the effort that should go into getting to know another person is complete eliminated. No need to go to out to lunch, have a hot lunch at school with him. No need to drive over to her house when you can just walk to her locker. Why would you carry her books when books are online?

Dating is supposed to involve some participation on both sides. Let him call you and ask you out, don’t text message him in Brit Lit. How about a homemade Valentine instead of giving him a candy heart that says “U Rock” out of the box as you stand their eating the rest in front of him. That’s SO romantic!

Let me ask you this, if true love is graded on how much effort you put into your school-day-dating, what is your GPA?
