3. Take pride, don't hide! 11%
   And not only love is about vocally expressing ones desire for and to other, it's also about letting the world know you're in for something special. Bollywood stars. Just look at the new lot – John-Bips, Ranbir-Deepika, Saif-Kareena. Just because they tell the world there are no gossips about at least them as couples. And things remain smooth with no misunderstanding between them. We really need to take a lesson from that. So why not feel more special by telling the world and be on a high!

   Teens 2009 love their freedom. Maybe that's why the thought of committing to one person for the rest of their life in enough to send them into hiding. We strongly feel possessive in a relationship is a thing of the past. Today, its more live and let live. After all distance does make the heart grow fonder. Not to say that commitment is a big "never" for youngsters today.
   
    
5. No strings attached!
   And just in case things don't work out the way they should, moving on in life is the mantra of GenNow. Unsuccessful relationships are either met by end of all relationships or end of a life. Today options are unlimited – if things don't work out there are no hard feelings. "You go your way and I go mine so that we both move on."-adds Amit Anand,a Teenager. "Values like support, faithfulness, mutual respect and honesty once ruled friendships. Today, it is just that they seem to be replaced and cut down to TWO PRIMARY EMOTIONS – Feeling good and mutual admiration/cooperation."
