Sitting here, listening to the other interns, I'm realizing just how badly people look down on dismissal for romantic relationships. I don't even know if they realize I'm here, but one actually went so far as to make the comment that that's the WORST thing you can do to get dismissed. I mean, honestly? They don't get it...
I feel for the others like me who have been dismissed for this particular reason. People may see it as purposeful rebellion, but a lot of times, it starts out small, as a friendship, that grows, which means it could happen to any of them really. I find it interesting that they think they're immune to stupid decisions in the face of raw emotions.
Of all the things you could get dismissed for, I'm thinking this is the LEAST worse of them all. You can get dismissed for substance abuse, for a bad attitude, for stealing. Almost all the other ways to get dismissed involve mal-intent towards another human being, or towards yourself. Not so with romantic relationships, though I will be the first to admit that just because it lacks malicious intent doesn't make it right. Not at all.
I'd rather be in trouble for loving and being an idiot, then for being an idiot by hurting someone else. That's just psychotic...
