Teenage Love & Heartbreak

It's so tough being a teenager; especially when love is involved.  Feelings and emotions will change suddenly, at the drop of a hat.  You can put your all into something, and the other person just all of a sudden says, "I don't feel the same anymore." It hurts when you put yourself out there, without any restraint, just to be crushed in the end.  Love isn't what hurts though. Heartbreak is the thing that hurts; love makes you feel better again.  True love doesn't change and doesn't fade away.  When you tell someone that you love them, you can't keep changing your mind as to whether you do or do not care for them.  If it's true love, you will not be confused as to how you feel. When someone hurts you and breaks your heart, you want your feelings for that person to completely disappear...but of course love doesn't work like that.  You're torn into pieces because they've hurt you so bad; yet you still love them and want to be with them.  It doesn't help matters when they keep telling you that they are still in love with you.  Your head and heart start fighting against each other; your head is saying that this person hurt you before so what is to stop them from hurting you again, yet your heart is brimming over with emotions and love for this person.  They were such a major part of your life and you feel that everything will be better again if they became part of your life again.  The thing is, you have to think your decision through with both your head and your heart. You have to be happy with yourself and your decision; your decision could make you get your heart broken again but you can't avoid heartbreak all your life.
