"Extending the same concept, keep in mind that virtually every dating relationship that continues for a year or more and seems to be moving toward marriage will be given the ultimate test. A breakup will occur, motivated by only one of the lovers. The rejected individual should know that their future together depends on the skill with which he or she handles that crisis. If the hurting individual can remain calm, the next two steps may be reconciliation and marriage. It often happens that way. If not, then no amount of pleading will change anything."

The mistakes made in building a relationship can make it stronger if the two people can handle the situation with calmness and be level headed. When the situation is hyped by anger and vengeance for the pain that was caused, then more likely than not the relationship will not get very far.
10. Be graceful with rejection: As I said in Tip #9, dating is discouraging. I hear men say all the time that online dating is not fair because the male/female ratio is so skewed. Men tell me all the time they hardly ever receive responses to their messages, while women’s inboxes are completely inundated with messages every day. I don’t have enough data to back that statement up, and, honestly, I don’t feel that I need any data to back that statement up. Obviously men’s experiences with online dating have made them feel this way, regardless of data. So how do you deal with this problem?
Accept the harsh reality of online dating and make it your mission to be graceful with rejection. You can’t change the landscape, so why let it drive you to bitterness? You’re better than that. As I said before, you’re going to get discouraged. That’s only natural. But don’t allow yourself to remain in that state, and don’t allow that discouragement to affect the way you interact with people on the site you’re using. We’re all guilty of it; I’m guilty of it. Let’s all vow to be better.

Love quote:
i carry your heart with me
By
e.e. cummings
i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is doing, my darling)
i fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)

CNN Steubenville Rape
After watching this video, many realities of our generation were revealed. Innocent high school parties are no longer as safe as we thought. To our astonishment getting too drunk is not the only worry. Today’s generations face many additional dangers including sexual assault and media exposure. Our generation needs a reality check. If something as horrific as this is allowed at one party, what can happen at other parties ? We need to really lock down on un-watched parties, and teenagers that are not conscious of good choices. As a group of 6, we thought that we should split up and articulate our different point of views.We will analyze the girls position in the case.
People in favor that the girl has partial fault state:
She is an under-aged juvenile that should not have been intoxicated or even possess alcohol. She should have thought about the consequences that result from drinking and the risks that it causes. Why drink so much at a party knowing that anything can happen and you won't be able to give consent or remember? It is vital to be in complete control of one’s mental stability in order to make the correct choices.
People in favor that the girl should not be blamed:
Parents should take this as a precaution, we hope that they will watch their kids more closely. Parents should make sure that their children get to their houses at an appropriate time. We should not focus on the faults the girl carries because of her choices, but more importantly on the injustice committed upon her.
How to prevent being the victim at a party:
- Make sure you space out your drinks.Only have one sip of alcohol every 10 minutes.
- Make sure you stay with friends at parties.
- Make sure that at least one person at the party is sober.
- Have an emergency contact ready if needed. Make sure your phone is always charged.
- Make sure you stay conscious and aware of your surroundings.

Love Quote:
Be careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.http://www.coolnsmart.com/love_quotes/
