I thin...Thank you so much for the great responses.<br /><br />I think I'd get some parent complaints if I had the kids write a romance scene. Of course, I wouldn't get parent complaints from the parents of students that would take it too far because they'd never know and they really should. Still, I love the idea.<br />Not only would it be short, it would be written in text speak with no punctuation. <br /><br />I agree that puppy love is true to the puppy. In fact, the puppy love I remember was free of any doubts or reality checks. Love was going to conquer all and happily ever after was an exciting prospect.<br /><br />Look at all the Twilight crazed teens today as they strive for that love of epic proportions. That soul-mate experience that is worth dying for. It's defining, it's exciting, and it's really stupid. That said, I'm glad I can't go back and slap my 16-year old self for being too idealistic. <br /><br />(For the record, I am not criticizing Twilight, I'm analyzing the hormonally charged teenage mindset)Erin Kane Spockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376851676240606472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-31185005005108501922010-06-03T12:41:58.148-07:002010-06-03T12:41:58.148-07:00I think you are on to something here, giving a cla...I think you are on to something here, giving a classroom full of teenagers a pen and piece of paper and having them write a romance scene. Though it would only be a paragraph long (reading this made me laugh out loud!) you could possibly incorporate your own techniques from there to add a little more flavor and make it a little longer. My oh my we do have some horny teenagers nowadays don't we!<br /><br />I love your blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-10531551878776006342010-06-03T12:08:33.892-07:002010-06-03T12:08:33.892-07:00As a former teacher, I, too, have had my encounter...As a former teacher, I, too, have had my encounters of students caught up in the storm of hormones. Puppy love is real to the puppy. And first love happens only once -- even when viewed through memory, the impact is altered by the perceptions and lessons time has taught.<br /><br />Happy to have found your blog, RolandRoland D.

I mean, gorgeous ex-cop turned private detective chicks, rich dudes that crave women their own age who are smart. Near death experiences that result in breathless kisses, not asthma attacks. These things I don't often see in reality.<br /><br />Romance is how we'd see the world if rose colored glasses were real. They are our ideal relationship; breathless anticipation, lingering gazes, an emotional connection that drowns out everything else in the world.<br /><br />You're right...that is teenage love.Raquel Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870113745683162915noreply@blogger.com
