I believe that this story is mind opening and educational with decision making. Romeo and Juliet had a tragic love and because of it Romeo died at 15 and Juliet died at 14. Some people would say it should be excluded from our school curriculum because it is sad and heart breaking but I think it should included for that reason and more. Romeo and Juliet are fifteen and fourteen so high schoolers would be able to relate to the struggles of having feelings. In the book, Romeo and Juliet can’t be together due to their family differences but still get married in secret. Many teenagers today bottle up their feelings for several reasons and this affects their lives by influences their decisions. The couple later die for eachother and many teenagers know how extreme this is, so they are more likely to be careful. The book shows that being thoughtful and considerate is very important, whether it’s with their emotions, school or family. In Romeo and Juliet, they get married without thinking about the effects of their parents not knowing. Juliet’s parents didn’t know about her marriage with Romeo and planned a wedding for her with Paris. Juliet then finds out and decides to fake her death, without thinking about Romeo’s reaction which caused him to actually kill himself. Juliet then wakes up to find him dead and kills herself for real. This shows how much of a negative effect of their secret, quick, unplanned marriage had on
