Writer's Block

Is thirteen the only age when we can be completely obvious about our feelings for the opposite sex, when we can show the outside world what complete slobbering fools we are on the inside and still be cool? Teen romance is like 5-minute dating - one week, or even one day, you're going with Boy X, and the next it's Boy Y, and you fall out of love with each one almost as quickly as you fell in love with them.

Wasn't it easier when so and so liked such and such, and who's going with whom, and notes were passed, and alliances were formed and played themselves out and then dissolved, all in the course of a single day?

They have so much time, yet they are so efficient.
