Love can sometimes turn into hate

Girl I thought you understood me;
me telling you how much I love you.
I try to make time for you,
plan to spend time with you but you avoid my reasons for missing you.
You've certainly asked me once "why do I love?" and my response was, because my heart tells me.
It's indeed that we haven't spent too much time together, but I'll give the credit for making me knowing you through your stupid actions.
I blame myself for wasting seconds, minutes, hours, and days of my faculty of thinking on you; I guess sometimes one who's not used to be love doesn't deserve to be loved.
This is just my perspective, and whatever you think of me as being a traitor or a liar, I surely do love you but I hate the fact that you are wasting my time, and the love that I am trying to share with you.
I am mad, but not sad. I don't hate you, nor will I ever do; but I hate the way you act towards me. Love can sometimes turn into hate, and I would hate to say that I hate you because I will never hate the same facade that you attracted my with when I first met you. I will always love you but I am sorry to tell you that I hate how you treat me.

Youth United for the Environmental Turnaround 2012

Usually young people like us teenagers, we need to have adults and mentors in our lives in order to help us remain on the right track and comport ourselves well; but sometimes young children like us can make big differences in our community, and even challenge adults to change their ways in order to protect their own future like Severn Suzuki spoke her mind at the UN Earth Summit in 1992. Earlier this summer at the Upward Bound preparatory program, my English teacher introduces Human Rights as one of the major complements of the class; and she focuses a lot on domestic oppression as well as the implication of the United States on other countries’ soil. 
This conference will help a lot with understanding the content of my English class, due to the fact that it will accentuate on many important issues such as environmental justice, sustainable transportation, anti-racism/anti-oppression, and many more which englobe the definition and the violation of human rights. And also having young children as the vehicle to circulate the message will strongly and positively affect the audience for whom the message is being delivered since older individuals do not usually expect young children to think about those matters. Nowadays, even though a lot of people are striving to efface the image of racism in many others’ heads but it is still a doctrine that is hard for many to get detach from. As an optimist I surely believe that with the help of teens and hearing their stories that will certainly exemplify and enhance the fact that racism is bad and it pollutes interracial amities. Not only that, but it creates turmoils in many communities.
