In my opinion we shouldn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. You may disagree with me but I say otherwise. People can gain emotional issues around Valentine’s Day and may get depressed. People also put too much funding into this holiday making it a waste of money and time. Finally the sweets and chocolates are extremely unhealthy to the average human. People also may put too much effort into it making it possible for their Valentine to reject them. This vicious circle can leave children and teenagers depressed and alone. We must put a stop to Valentine’s Day.
First emotional issues around Valentine’s Day may develop. For most Teenagers and children and I speak from experience when I say this, can feel awkward or uncomfortable thinking about love and dating. Especially when you’re sitting in class without a Valentine, this can be embarrassing to most. You may also become depressed if your offer is rejected or put down by somebody else. This may also happen when you are alone without a Valentine and people leave you out because of this. This might make you fell useless or alone. Another reason is that Valentine’s Day is only once a year. This festivity of love lasts only twenty four hours then ends the next day. So what happens to teenagers after Valentine’s Day? Do they just ignore their Valentine for the rest of the year?
Next we will be talking about the funding for Valentine’s Day. On average most stores raise their prices on this day of love, knowing that people might do anything to get their Valentine. So men and woman spend way too much money than they should, and for what? A simple card or a box of chocolates? People sometimes also go over the top with Valentine’s Day. What I mean when I say this is that people put too much effort into this celebration of love. The decorations are also a waste of money; you might only have them up for Valentine’s Day itself. If the decorations are only up for one day then what’s the point? A person may spend hundreds of dollars for the most amazing gift they can get only to be rejected by their love and cast away. So all of that money you’ve spent would go to waste.
Finally the treats and chocolates are very unhealthy so some people. Chocolate in a heart shaped box may be a common gift to your wife or girlfriend. This candy is also extremely unhealthy. Chocolate and candy in general may have a lot of calories. The more calories that’s added on to that the more weight you can gain, which can lead to obesity, heart disease, and Diabetes a disease that you can acquire from gaining weight. Candy can also cause moth problems from tooth decay to gum disease. This can give you stomach aches, make you vomit, or just all out make you ill. So you may not make it to school the next day or be embarrassed by everyone around you.
Valentine’s Day needs to no longer be a holiday. Due to children and teenagers felling left out and annoyed by Valentine’s Day making them fell depressed and alone we need to get rid of it. The funds for Valentine’s Day are also a waste of time, effort, and money. Decorations and cards are just a scam to get people to pay more money. The person you give them to might not even acknowledge your gifts and they might never see them again. The chocolates also contain many calories making you unfit or obese. These are the reasons Valentine’s Day should not be celebrated.
