TIFU by learning about teenage love in psych.

For reference, I'm 16.

As I sat in class today, the teacher started discussing the teenage brain as one of our lessons. As uninterested as I was yesterday, I was not focusing too much. She spoke about how the brain develops in specific ways and how teens act differently because our brains process stimuli differently than adults. But then, I focused in at some point, and now it's messing me up. 

For the people who don't take psychology in school, be grateful sometimes because I feel like crap now. Teenagers experience love differently due to hormones, as we start to develop them more, teens also tend to be more emotional and feel love more intensely. As a result, we think about our partners more, and relationships occur and happen quickly because of it. But a downside of it is that our brain gets addicted to it. Yup. Addicted.

Teens get accustomed to feeling love for people or from someone, that they get to fall in love with FAST and intensely, causing it to be genuinely like an addiction. No wonder people constantly seek it out (including myself)! Teens get addicted to the thought and the feeling of love. 

It's making me sad that I consciously and subconsciously seek love out because I'm addicted to feeling it. Like I personally feel genuinely pathetic, and it's the fact that OTHER TEENS ARE ADDICTED TO IT TOO?? Like, "dang that's the cause of it, isn't it..."
