Romeo and Juliet 13
At the age of 13, without having the experience of a previous relationship where there was both emotional and physical intimacy, can a girl know that she has found the right one, and that she should marry him? The answer to this question is no. Juliet was a fool, rushing into a marriage and dying for Romeo, a teenager she had barely met for a week. Romeo, equally as foolish as Juliet, makes the same mistake as Juliet by rushing into a relationship without enough life experience and deep contemplation of the possible consequences that might arise to such a controversial relationship. Romeo and Juliet are foolish and impetuous youths who become caught up in the idea of love and ultimately die for it.

That is why the nurse eventually tells Juliet to forget about Romeo and to marry Paris, why both Juliet's mother and father tells her to marry Paris and why the priest at the ends tells Juliet not to worry about Romeo's death and to flee quickly with him. Romeo and Juliet, a pair of star-crossed lovers, were truly in love, but their foolishness and impetuousness got the better of them and ultimately cost them their lives. Had these characteristics been less dominant in their decision making process, they could have had better lives. Children and teenagers are very often impetuous and thoughtless, not completely considering the consequences of their actions before they act, and that is one reason why a 13 year old girl can not fully comprehend what she is getting herself into when she commits to a serious relationship. Another sign of their foolishness is when
