Oh, I figured they were from the same source. And for the sake of the silly, happy girly magazine, it doesn't have to include anything else, but people need to still consider the source and be realistic when considering what the statistic means.
And once you're in the dress and walking the aisle, yeah I'd sure hope that you were optimistic about the relationship. But you shouldn't read this magazine and think that your first teenage relationships are meant to last. It's not pessimism; it's realism; the two are not the same, and cannot be combined. More often than not teenage relationships are about exploration into what it takes to build a solid relationship, not a lifelong commitment. They are about practice and experience, and a lot of that experience comes from what you learn by watching what makes them end. More often that not teenage relationships are a chance to grow and get our first taste of love, nothing more.
And please don't take this personally. I know nothing about you and eric but names. I'm talking about the statement in itself.
I understand what you're saying, and don't think for a minute I'm naive and under the impression that Eric and I will be together foreverz and everz and have 10 kids and a white-picket-fence kind of life. That being said, I'm not expecting us to break up either. It's because I love him and live in the now. I know we have a shot, you know? And that's what matters to me.
