"Love is trust and dependability. It shapes who we are because it can make you or break you. The people you choose to love and the people who love you can make your life beautiful or they can hurt you like you've never been hurt before. "- Elisabeth (GA) "Love is defined by the kind of love it is. Romantic love stirs warm, happy feelings. Love of a child is protective and proud, and somewhat of a part of your heart. Love of a friend shares life’s secrets and trust. The common thread of love is caring enough about the person to be there for them and sharing a part of yourself with the person. Love shapes our lives because of the choices we make for the people we love – putting their wants, needs and desires above our own. This applies to all kinds of love, but the biggest sacrifices are made for the love of children."-Mom (GA) "Love is something/someone you have a passion for. It shapes who we are because it drives you to do things as a result of that love."-Scot (GA)

"Love is when you would throw youself in front of moving traffic for someone... or make you do things that you wouldn't do for a stranger." - PA "When you love someone, you dedicate your life to them. You guard their heart as if the slightest thing could break it. Loving someone is best gift and oppertunity we have while being on earth."PA "Loving someone is when you would rather feel pain for that person so they wouldn't have to."PA

"Love is everything. You have to risk everything to love but if you don't risk everything, your going to lose everything." (AJ) "Love is every action a person does throughout the day for one another." (AJ) "Love is when you care about someone and want the best for them even if it means putting your wants and needs last. It's when you see all the good things about them and none of their flaws matter, when you believe in them even when they don't believe in themselves. Love is selfless, caring and passionate." (AJ)

Sam - "Love is when you make people happy by giving them presents and giving them flowers." (MAT) Katie - “Love is unconditional. It is very emotional and very irrational, when you love someone you want to do anything for them because you want them to be happy. Also, from a religious standpoint, no matter what you do or what happens, God still loves us unconditionally.” (MAT) Aunt- "Love is difficult to describe. It is a deep respect for someone, and loving them for who they really are. It's caring about another person and their well being more than your own, and feeling that your life is much better with them than without them. Love can impact your life in many positive ways. It can make your life fuller, and make you feel more secure. And living without it can make you very lonely!" (MAT)

"I honestly don't know" - my father (PR) "It's a feeling you have for another. Gives you comfort, joy and respect. Without love you would be no one." (PR) "Unconditional care for another. You do things you wouldn't do for other people." (PR)

"Caring" - Ford (BC) "There are different kinds of love and they feel different and have different intensities. It is also an inconvenience." - my mom (BC) "When you care more about someone than anyone else." - Charles (BC)

Drew- I don’t know go ask mom or something. Whats this for anyway?(DF) Mom (Nance)- Love is the bond between two people that cannot be broken. Although there are two kinds of love. One for a person and one for an object. But there can be fake love. When one person appears to be in love but really they are not.(DF) Grandpa (old) - uhh. When two people like them for a long time like the birds and the bees. (DF)

"Love is everything that matters in the world and without it you feel like there is nothing to live for."- mother (GO) "Love is being able to care for others without wanting anything in return, it creates who you are and who you are going to be."-father (GO) "Its a crazy stupid feeling that drives us to do absolutely anything for that one special person that we care to dear about." -sis (GO)

"Love is an emotion that can be overwhelming at times." (DS) "Love is a feeling that can tear people apart or bring them together. It's really kind of crazy, actually." (DS) "It's a chemical reaction in your brain that then floods your entire body with feelings." (DS)

"When you care for people and your with them at Christmas" Sterling G (AG) "Love is when you would do anything for the person you love but its really confusing and stressful" Nick G (AG) "Love is the emotion in life that allows our relationships as people to grow stronger and stronger and help us through life. It shapes us by allowing our hearts to be fleshy and loving because without love in people's hearts, they have tendencies to become cold and unforgiving" Papa G

"family" -my father (AS) "Love is the feeling that you have for someone else to care for, to take care of, and to try and make happy. It shapes who we are, if we have love in our heart we are happier, more secure, and more successful. If you don't have a lot of love growing up you tend to be less successful and more angry." -my mother (AS) "Love is a chemical signal sent to your brain that makes you love someone and is not true. " -Lindsey Zimmer (AS)
