“I glanced at his face, the sweat like glaze. Another me would’ve licked it off, and it would’ve tasted like salt.” (Ward 34) Desire can run deep in every teenage girl’s thoughts and actions when falling for the older boy that seems so close and yet so far. Whether it’s from blinded love, deep infatuation, or hypnotic adoration, the first love is sometimes more than a person can bear. At times love is irrational and does not always equal common sense, especially when considering your first love.
William Shakespeare once said, “These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triump die, like fire and powder. Which, as they kiss, consume”, to describe his play “Romeo and Juliet”. Romeo and Juliet is the story of a girl and boy who fall in love after one night at a party and they decide to marry each other. Their parents are complete rivals so it made it impossible for them to be together with support from their families.
Love is a natural feeling that causes humans to do crazy and irrational things. For instance, in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the two main characters’ obsessive love for each other is the main cause of their downfall. Romeo, however, indulges in his passion much differently than Juliet. In the balcony scene in Act II, scene ii, of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is shown to be impulsive and immature. This is made clear in Romeo’s attitude toward love and his reactions to dangerous situations.
Young teens have made rash decisions and reacts without thinking. They think they are choosing the right decisions, but they don’t have the experience of choosing the right decision.

As their parents hate each other and Romeo being banished from his actions.
In each story we find two young people who are in love, sadly though, both loves have been forbad. Our main point here is the divider which separates the lovers. In Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare writes, “from ancient grudge break to new mutiny” (1.1.2). Then in “Pyramus and Thisbe” Ovid writes “They longed to marry, but their parents forbade.” (947).
Their sex hormones have caused them to strive and decide that they have found love after only a short period of time. During this short period of time, both of them have confessed their true feeling of affection for each other, and Juliet has agreed to follow Romeo everywhere he goes. Hormones have affected the choice of love for both teenagers and ultimately led to the choice of getting married without thinking about the decision or the consequences first. The selection of finding someone to love and acting upon it is caused by hormones in teenage years. However, the choice of love created by hormones is perhaps only one of the millions of choices that these chemical messengers can
Many high schoolers will get into relationships, but does it mean they are in love? Not always, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible for them to be in love. In regards to this, we, as humans, are taught to love from the moment we are born. In Romeo and Juliet, there are so many examples of how teens can be driven by, or in love. Without knowing what love is, why would they put themselves through such events for another person?
Love is a dangerous thing. It can overpower a person’s mind completely, often blinding a person to reason, causing a person to act in irrational ways they normally wouldn’t. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, both of the titular characters love for each other causes them to act very impulsively, never thinking about the consequences of their actions. In the play, it is proven time and time again that grave consequences always follow people who act impulsively. This is demonstrated throughout the play when Romeo and Juliet rush to get married, Romeos and Juliet’s deaths, when Romeo killed Tybalt, Romeo and Juliet’s first meeting and Juliet’s plan to fake her death.

By understanding the reasoning behind their actions, it is possible to educate teenagers today about the possible consequences of such behavior. It is of the utmost importance to ensure that such tragic consequences are avoided in the future to make the world a safer and easier place to live

People would remark that love is indicating happiness or gratefulness but never state the fact that love can even be overpowering and blinding. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a tale about a teenager who has been fond of his “love” Rosaline until he stumbles upon a girl, who is known to be Juliet.

Love has always been known to give happiness and never been brought up how love can be blinding.
