* If you were faced with ending a relationship because your
family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end
it or stay together? Explain why or why not and be sure to use examples when
explaining and also relate it to Romeo and Juliet.
If I were faced with ending a relationship because he and my parents didn't get along, I would honestly have to break up with them. Boys will come and go, but you're stuck with your family whether you like it or not. Personally, my family has always been there for me. Through thick and thin, they have supported me and stuck by my side through even my worst of moods. They have always been there for me and if they disapproved of a boyfriend of mine that strongly, I would have to end it between them. For me, family has always come first and I believe they know what's best for me. That's why if they really didn't like a boyfriend of mine that much, as much as it may hurt the other person, I would have to break up with them.
ReplyDeletegreatjob i totally agree with your whole asspect.
DeleteI agree but if you love the person then I don't think it really matters what your family says but good thought
DeleteI agree with your paragraph that i really didnt read at all but im going to pretend that I know what you're talking about :D Love you Miss.B
DeleteI agree but when you are truly in "love" it shouldnt matter what your family says. Whatever makes you happy is what you should go with. Also with whoever makes you happy .Not with what makes your family happy. Nice job though.
DeleteGood Job I totally agree with your asspect. But I also think it really shouldn't matter with what your family thinks. But also you did a great job and you deserve it. Also I need Russell Wilson to score 10 or more points
DeleteGreat Job, Evelynn! I completely agree with you if my family strongly disliked a girl I was dating I would have to break up with her even if it didn't see it. I would do this because my family knows whats best for me.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jacob! I would probably also end up telling my family to grow up and to act there age if a situation like this ever came up. Just like your family my main family is pretty relaxed and just go with the flow. I would also probably date a girl even if there family is not the nicest and I would try to make the best of the situation.
Deletei agree with you because your family cant choose who you date. They can only help you withother things but they cant tell you that you cant love someone because they dont know who you like and who you dont.
DeleteIf I were faced with ending a relationship because my family and girlfriend did not get along depending on how much I cared for that person I would probably stay with them. A reason why is that because if I truly was in "love" with this person my parents or families opinion on this person should not affect that. Another reason is that when or if I get married with this person my wife will not be with my mom and dad or the rest of my family. The only time they would probably ever see her would be at family events such as Winter holiday or other holiday times. Also i rather date someone that I find attractive or that I love and not date someone just because my family approves of them. Also much later on in life if I decided to have kids I rather have kids with someone I love and not someone my family says is acceptable to have. This can relate to Romeo and Juliet because Romeo and Juliet had this same problem until they died. Even before there whole relationship Romeo and Juliette's families despised each other. The Montiques and the Capulets have been at each other for practically centuries. Obviously when they started to "go out" or date that started a big family feud against the two families. So by going out or dating they were going against there families wishes and they decided to stay together. They loved each other so much and wanted to stay with each other that they toke the ultimate sacrifice wish of of course there own lives and they toke there own lives just to "stay together." At the end of Romeo and Juliet the families do make up finally! Sadly not after they find there two kids dead.
ReplyDeleteIf I happen to be very unlucky and fall in love with a girl whose family is arguing with my own, I would still take a chance on the relationship. My girlfriend and I would initially to take to our families about our relationship. Next we would attempt to arrange a few gatherings where both of our families could talk things over and try to resolve differences If our families could not resolve the conflict, we would continue with our relationship despite a lack of support. If we could not be together, I would consider living somewhere else until both sides clam down. I have not experienced this kind of feuding, but Romeo and Juliet did not give their parents the chance to disagree or for bid the relationship, before they decided to marry. They were also willing commit suicide if they could not be together, and I don’t think I would go that far. I know that Shakespeare focused a lot on fate and the story of “star –crossed” lovers, but I also think communication was also key to the ending of the story. Juliet’s father seemed like he could have an open mind if only they had tried to speak with him. After all, he stopped the fighting at the feast even though he knew that Romeo came uninvited. Friar Lawrence. Must have had some confidence that the families would come together. In summary, I would not give up a relationship that could bring a life time of happiness. However I would try to communicate honestly from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in a relationship with a girl that my parents and there parents didn't get along, there will definitely be a lot going through my head. One thing is what do I do. I could try to make them get along with each other. But what if that doesn't work out. I would honestly break the relationship and stay with my parents. The reasons are if I don't have the same relationship with my parents who do I have when I need them. Who do I go to when I'm in need for help. Who do I go when I need something. Yes I'll be hurt for ruining a relationship for my parents. But if you love someone it dosent mean that you can't be with your parents. See your parents will be probably the first ones that you'll go to if you need help. They will be the first to help you get back in your feet when times get rough. And without them who do you go to knowing that you turn them back for someone you love. They are going to be upset . This relates to Romeo and Juliet because there parents don't get along. They didn't tell no one and they knew that there parents didn't like each other but they did It because they fell in love with each other
ReplyDeleteIf I was in a relationship with a boy and him and my parents didn't get along that would be a very bad situation. It depends on the situation too. If the guy I was with was not that special to me then I would go along with my parents decisions but if it was someone I really liked then I wouldn't care what my parents thought. If that person made you happy then who cares what other people say. If they make you happy then stay with them. It will only hurt you more if you leave them. Its very hard to dis obey your parents too. Its going to be hard to choose but it will be easier to just stay with the one you love then leave them and be sad.This relates to the story we are reading, Romeo and Juliet. They are a couple who are completely in love but their families are enemies. They hate each other so that kinda sucks for them cause now their parents wont let them date each other but they do it anyway cause they are in love
ReplyDeleteIf I was faced with ending a relationship because my family and boyfriends family did not get along, I would not end it. If I have strong feelings for my boyfriend I wouldn't end our relationship. Just because our two families do not get along, doesn't mean they have a say on the connection those two people have. In those words the families should put their differences to the side, and focus on how they’re kids are happy. My mom always tells me she doesn't care what profession I choose, or who I choose to love as long as im happy. I think that’s the key things parents should worry about if they’re children are happy. Obviously parents are gonna be parents, and tell you if they think that the person you’ve chosen is right for you.If parents really did want to see their children happy they wouldn’t hold them back from one of the most important people to you. Again, parents aren't the ones in the relationship so they shouldn't have say if they split because the two families. I think in Romeo and Juliet they’re two families never thought that they would fall in love. So when they did the families couldn’t put their feud to the side, and see that they’re children were happy together. I don’t think that they saw that they would’ve been happy if they were aloud to see one another but had to sneak around cause they weren’t aloud to see each other.
ReplyDeleteif i were in this situation i would do whatever makes ME happy. if im happy with my boy then my family should be happy that im happy. if my family really cared about me they would let me be happy. For once it would not be about them it will be about me.i would do what romeo and juliet did. i would be happy with the peron i "love" wether they like it or not. Yea i know that it will be hard but for someone you truely care about anything will be worth it. Sooner or later my family would have to except that i am happy and im going with the boy that i want to be happy with. They are my parents but they have no say on how i feel or who i want to be with. Im going to do whatver it is and whatver it takes to make my self happy. Im sure thatv there has been people that my moms mom didnt like but she was still with anyway. You cant help what the heart feels. romeo and juliet are a perfect example. there parents hated eachother but they still wanted to be together. They made it so they vcan be togther they are true love.

ReplyDeleteI think that i would stay together. I think I would do this because I would love him enough not to care about something as stupid as our families hating each other. I would force my family to get his family to work things out together and make peace between us. The feud between our families is not more important than our love and my family would just have to accept that weather they liked it or not. If my family really wanted me to be happy they would end all the fighting for my happiness. I would hope my family would support me in whatever i believe in and his family would do the same and our relationship could end the feud and everyone could be happy. The families would be supportive of us even though they think its wrong and would allow us to be together because they know we really love each other.
This relates to Romeo and Juliet because there families had a feud for generations and that never stopped there love for each other even though they thought they hated each other.Romeo and Juliet didn't care they just wanted to be together. They broke rules and snuck out to be together in secrecy where they could be a lone and safe from there family feud.Romeo and juliet fought for what they believed in and died for their love of each other because that was all that mattered to them most. Thier love was so real that they couldn't stay away and had to stand up to their families and say that they were in love with the enemy and couldn't help it. Romeo and Juliet did what they had to do to keep their love a live even if that meant dying and spending their after life together. Romeo and juliet stood up and loved even when they weren't allowed too and thats what i would have done if I was in there predicament
I agree with your post Anna. I also believe that most families want and support the happiness of their children although it will make it hard for the couple, the families don’t even have to speak to each other or socialize. I also believe that love is a very important thing in life, and I would stay together too. Maybe with sometime the families might see that true love is much more important then a family feud. If the Montagues and the Capulets had made peace with each other, their only children would still be alive.
DeleteIf I was faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriends family, it would depend on a couple factors. The first and most important thing would be age if I was an adult I would be more toward staying with her and dealing with the small problems that might arise. If this was taking place now I would be more inclined to break up with her, because we still have to listen to our parents and would have to be involved with our lives. An almost equally important factor would be if we got along with each others parents. If yes then I would almost definitely stay with her, but if it was a no I would I have to break up with her, age would also play a part in this one. Another factor is if she gets along with her parents, they might have "excommunicated" her from family gatherings and get togethers. A major role would be how long we've been together, the longer the more I'd try to make it work. Last but definitely not least would be how well be get together. It would play another major role, because who like to be in a relationship with someone that your constantly fighting with, I wouldn't be worth saving. A nice thing to also have is comfort with one another. When you get to the point where you can act how you would when your alone with that person than it makes the relationship worth more and you would want to save it.
ReplyDeleteIn Romeo and Juliet, their families are mortal enemies and hate each other, but they fall in love before they found out. In the end it drives them to kill themselves because they couldn't stand to be without each other. This wouldn't happen in America today because of the acceptance we have for other ethnic and religious backgrounds. I think it's sad though.
Chuckie you are a try hard. But I agree,it i important to consider the factors before persuing a relationship ecspecially if you're family disagrees.
DeleteIt would depend on how much I love the girl cause if she getting on my nerves everyday and I'm getting really mad I will break up with her but if this girl is sweet, good looking, nice and just a good person than my family can be furious with me, wanna hurt me or anything but I will stay with that girl because she is a great person. I hope you know what I'm sayimg cause cause of you don't your really missing some real good advice. Also I would stay with her if I had comfort with her. In romeo and juliet thete families are mortal enemies and hate each other but they fall in love before they found out. That's leafs to them not caring and being in true and I mean true love. At the end they end up killing them selves other and because they couldn't live without each other . This wouldn't happen in America today because of the acceptance wr have for other ethnic and religious. backrounds. I think it's terribly sad though. Thank you for the love and God Bless
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you cause ours were similar and it does matter if u like a girl a lot or a very little. your paragraph makes sense just like mine that's with I agree with most of it but not all of it. god bless
DeleteIf you were faced with ending a relationship because your family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end it or stay together? I think it depends like if my family gives me a good reason and his family gives a good reason why we shouldn't be together then that's what's going to happen. And nowadays family look more for age, and some parents get really strict. but if my family don't him then maybe we should just be friends. if they were like really special and treated me the best and I did the same for him than im pretty sure their wouldn't be any problems. another thing is let the boy meet your family and if he doesn't act right and you even notice he isn't chewing like a cow then , maybe that's not the right guy. the right kind of guy is the one that considers your family his own and respects your parents and same to the girls. this is kind of the same relationship Romeo and Juliet faced. through everything your family will be by your side and the next day they could be chilling with another gym sitting at a movie theaters and your going to be mad and talk about It the next day and say " mom , thanks for the advice
ReplyDelete' you were right!
If I was in a relationship where my family did not agree with I would persue whatever makes me happy. Right now I am only 15 and I know most of my realtionships will be bound to end. While my family will always be by my side. But if I was older 18+, and my family disapproved of my boyfriend/girlfriend I wouldn't listen to them. This is because I would be mature enough and hopefuly intelligent enough to know the relationship is what makes me happy and will be something that will be important in my life and never-ending.I wouldn't understand why my family wouldnt be happy that I was happy.Thats why I would stay woth the person that makes me happy. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's parents had a burning haterd for Romeo because he was part of the Montegues. I believe that is unfair because even without the title Montegue he would still be the same,yet her parents would allow the marriage. I believe family need good reasoning behind why they dislike your boyfriend/girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteIf i was in a relationship and my family didnt like my girlfriends family i would not end the relationship. I wouldnt care if my family hated my girlfriends family because it isnt like they have to be with each other everyday. They probably would only meet once. What matters is that i like her not that the families like each other. All you need to worry about is you 2. If my family was upset with me dating a girl i would tel them hat i like her and that it isnt up to them on who i should date and who i shouldnt date. This occurs in Romeo and Juliet because romeo is a montegue and they dont like juliets family. But they still choose to get married. And be with each other.
ReplyDeleteThey dont care that there families hate each other they care they they love each other. They shouldnt be getting married but they choose to do it anyway because they dont want there families to keep them apart. They choose to get married immediatly because they dont want there parents finding out and stopping them. So instead they keep it a secret except for two people that know.
DeleteGood for you Ryan. Dont let anyone stop you. This is what I would do. Go Ryan
DeleteIf i was in a relationship and my family didnt like my girlfriends family i would not end the relationship. I wouldnt care what my family thought of my girlfriend because its not their choice. They cant say who I can and cant go out with. This shouldnt even bother them because they wouldnt see her everyday anyway, maybe occasionally for dinner or such. What matters is my family seeing me happy, that should be most important. Who cares who the girl is, does that really matter? If my family didnt like her id most likely just go to her house than. Nothing would stop me from loving a girl that also loves me. No mater what I would find a way to be with her. Im old enough to know who to date, I know not to date some slob with no manners and always getting in trouble. This happends in Romeo and Juliet because the families do not like eachother. Juliets dad wants her to marry someone else. She refuses because she is in love with Romeo. Juliet does not make her parents make her love decisions. Romeo also makes his own decision. They would do anything in the world to be together and nobody was going to stop them. All in all they still get married and find a way to be with eachother. That is exactly how I would be.
ReplyDeletegreat job loved it all wonderful
DeleteIf I was in this situation I would tell my parents to suck it up and if they really didn't like her family then don't talk to them or agknowledge them and just act like adults. I would tell them this because true love only comes once in your life so you have to cherish it. I would tell them that if they truly love me then they will be happy for me and try to get along with her family and if they really cant then don't even talk to them. But if they wouldn't let me be with her I wouldn't talk to them until they grew up and accepted the truth and live with my desion. The reason being is I love my family and will always be there for them as they should be for me. I will always give my family a second chance so if they truly care they will be greatful for my happiness.
ReplyDeleteIf I was faced with ending a relationship because my family and my boyfriend’s family did not get along, I wouldn't end it. See now people say all the time that love is worth fighting for and if you really love someone why would you give up on it so easily. If your families are fighting that doesn't mean you agree. Juliet and Romeos families were fighting but Romeo and Juliet were never really a part of it and they didn't have a say in what they were fighting about and if they agree or not. They were just told don't talk to these people because we and you have to hate them. But if I loved someone I wouldn't care about our family's feud because to me where you come from doesn't matter, it's who you are that matters and when I say who you are I don't mean your name I mean how you act and feel and no family feud will keep me away if I believe that I'm In love with this person. In the end love is really that matters.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I think though when you can't be with someone you actually want to be with them more, especially as a teenager. I feel for Romeo and Juliet they were attracted to each other by looks at first but after they found out who each other were they probably felt more attracted to each other from the sensation of it being forbidden, which made it feel like they really did love each other. Like teenagers like to rebel and a lot of girls date guys they know would make their parents crazy which could be another reason for someone not breaking up with someone that they aren't supposed to be with. I feel that all of this kind of contributes to me wanting to be with someone I wasn't supposed to; attraction, rebellion, making your parents crazy and the sense of being in love. There all very powerful things that a lot of people agree is reasons to stay with someone they aren't supposed to be with.
If you were faced with ending a relationship because your family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end it or stay together? I would stay together cause if I really loved a girl I wouldn't leave her because of that reason. but if it was like romeo and Juliet I really wouldn't care because I would only know the person for a couple of days or a week or two.i think if you would stay together it would eventually get better in my mind but romeo and Juliet was the opposite cause romeo and Juliet killed there self by drinking poison. If it kept getting worse and worse each day maybe I would leave but I wouldn't drink poison like how romeo and Juliet did this is what I think about the question - If you were faced with ending a relationship because your family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end it or stay together?
