"relationships"

Okay, so I have recently been bombarded with many sixth graders (and younger!) changing their Facebook relationship statuses to "in a relationship". Okay, so that's not even a relationship. In sixth grade, "will you go out with me" translates to "let's eat lunch together every day and maybe I'll kiss you on the cheek at recess and it will be totally scandalous and then afterwards we can see if my mom will drive us to the movies this weekend, which totally counts as 'going out', of course." Nope. No way. And I mean, why do all these little kids want to grow up so fast? I mean, honestly? Nobody takes stuff like that seriously. Maybe there should be a new Facebook relationship status, designed especially for those kids, called, "in what I think is a relationship but nobody over the age of 13 considers it to be legit." I'd go for that! Rant.
