I would consider doing what Juliet did because ...
In my life, I have been taught to fight for what I want and what I believe in. In the play
Romeo and Juliet, Juliet puts her life on the line for love. I believe in love, therefore I would fight for love, for what I feel is right; just like Juliet. Although Juliet and Romeo met on Saturday, were married on Monday, and both of their lives taken the following Thursday, their relationship showed me that we aren't all here for a long time. If Juliet were to have died right then and there(1), my feeling on this would be the same. She would have died, and did die for what she wanted.I suppose that in any given situation, whether it is love, family, a job or friends, if I felt that it was right, I would do what I had to.
(1) Act 4, Scene 3, Line 58
When Juliet is discovered dead, I felt because ...
As wrong as this sounds, when Juliet was found dead, I felt somewhat relieved. I mean
although she was only thirteen, and her hormones were raging, she made a mistake, a
mistake of marriage and a mistake of death. I understand that I would have done the same, but I feel that she lost sight of what was really important, and at her age, she really wasn't ready for a love like that. So when I found Juliet dead, I suppose you could say that I was relieved because it was a decision that she couldn't change. Unfortunatley, she had to learn her lesson the hard way.

Romeo and Juilet Characteristics
Romeo & Juliet Characteristics
Romeo:
Courageous-
Went through with marriage even though their families had been feuding for many years.
Devoted-
When Juliet "died" for him, he wanted to be with her whether it is in another life or not.
Stubborn-
Once his mind was set on marrying Juliet, he wasn't going to stop until he had it, & did not want anything other than her.
Confused-
At the beginning of the book, Romeo is in love with Rosaline, but soon forgets her when he meets Juliet; confused about love.
Fatalist-
"Oh I am fortunes fool!" illustrates the fact that Romeo believes that his relationship with Juliet is on the whims of fate.
Juliet:
Courageous-
Went through with marriage even though their families had been feuding for many years.
Patient-
In act 3, scene 1, Romeo is banished out of Verona, & although they are in love with each other, they meant enough to each other to wait.
Devoted-
She loved him enough to fake death for him, & then further to commit suicide for him.
Naive-
Juliet has never felt love, never been in love before, and one could say that she jumps in with both feet, & gives it all she has got right away.

Wow, I never realized how many bad decisions I had made until now. If I had to sum up my worst decisions I had ever made, it would likely come out with that I just don't think I'm good enough, and that I never open up to people. Around most people I have castle walls up, protecting my ideas, my heart and my family. "You don't trust many people with your inner thoughts," Denis Borren. I couldn't have said it better. I have major trust issues, and again, one of the only people I can completely trust with who I am, and know that it is okay is Dylan Wiedmer. We started out as best friends at the beginning of this year, and then friendship caught fire. When I finally decide that I can get over my ongoing fear and get over how I feel about myself, then maybe I can show others how to do it too.

Being a teenager. When I was younger all you wanted to do was grow up and be like mommy and daddy, but I forgot I was going to have to go through high school and all its ups and downs.
So many things are different than they are portrayed; you have to get a job, do good in school, have the right friends, be in the right group, finnish your homework, achieve gold in sports or get along with your siblings. For me, I have a job, have honors in school, play various sports at elite levels and I feel like I am expected to be perfect and in a good mood every day.
There are times where I am left wondering if I should put what I truely think aside, and just follow the general idea of what everyone else my age does. Follow their thoughts, what they do and what they don't do. What they say and what they don't say. But I know that that isn't me. Beth Fodor fights with her parents on a daily basis about things that really aren't worth the headache. Heartache is something that I've definitly felt, because of my parents, not laying blame but the truth. I dated a boy for a year, and it had to be ended because of what they wanted for me, not at all what I wanted. However, looking back on it now, I'm very glad they stuck to their guns. As for now, I have a boyfriend, someone who treats me the way I deserve to be treated, tells me the things I deserve to be told, AND my parents love him. So yes, my escape from reality when things get the best of me is my boyfriend and my writing. I write almost everyday, and this is just another one that I have added to the list. My friends keep me grounded, although around some of them I make stupid decisions :D
But hey, thats just what being a teenager like me is like.
