miscommunication

Working at an elementary school provides a unique perspective on life.  For one, it blows my mind that all my students were born after 9/11.  Second of all, you see the basis of human relationships and how we start to interact as people from the very beginning.  There's a boy in a second grade I work with, who so obviously likes the girl that sits next to him.  She really is beautiful and the sweetest thing ever.  But his way of "getting her attention" is to constantly annoy her as often as possible.  She, in turn, gets angry at him and doesn't understand why he is treating her this way.  She gets upset and mad at the behavior and starts to hate him.  He, couldn't possibly understand why she suddenly doesn't like him and so he tries harder, hence the cycle starts over.  All I'm saying is the miscommunication starts young people…it starts young.
