'LOVE thou' (Alecia)

Do your friends and family play a role in YOUR ‘love’?

Although Parents’ play an important role in there child’s life. I feel they don’t have a right to tell their son/daughter whom to love. I honestly don’t think its possible. People fall in love depending on how ‘they’ feel about that someone, NOT how their parents feel about them. If the parents like that someone then they should marry them. Everyone has their own needs, wants, and is attracted to different things. Just because parents like someone that doesn’t mean there son/daughter is going to like them as well. BUT, I do feel its right for parents to give their opinion. Sometimes people can’t see how that ‘ someone ‘ is not right for them, and they need to hear it from someone else. For example, if there was an abusive relationship going on, and the one getting abused kept using the excuse “ but I’m in love, I cant leave him/her “ I feel as a parent its there right to tell there child, “you need to leave him/her“ but then after they state that and give there reasons why, I feel that that is all they can do. The society has definitely changed. Back then; the child had no right to choose whom they loved. Honestly, I feel like choosing whom you love isn’t really a choice. It just comes naturally, which is one of the reasons no one can actually ‘tell’ someone whom to love. I’m glad the societies changed, because with todays generation I feel as if no one would even go by that rule anyways.
