Teenage Romance

One of the unique advantages of being a high school teacher is being able to watch my prospective reading audience in their day to day lives.  I get to see their interactions, thought processes, sense of humor, and romantic relationships.  Now I am a true believer in love and romance.  I think that everyone has the chance to meet and fall in love with someone but I also believe that this usually happens when people are much older.  I CANNOT stand teenage relationships and the dialogue that usually goes along with them, generally the relationships look something like this:

Day 1: "Oh my gosh John and I are totally dating!!! I really like him."
Day 2: "Sooooooo, we totally kissed last night. (insert details about the kiss)"
Day 3: "We are SO in love!  I just love him so much!"
Day 4: "I love him so much and we're going to be together forever."
Day 5: "We were alone last night and well I just love him so much."
Day 6: "We are so in love."
Day 7: "We broke up!" *insert mindless blubbering here*

Teenage relationships can teach a kid many things but ultimately I feel they are a waste of time.  They are usually only ever about one of two things, finding someone to do things with or sex.  I don't think that there is ever a deeper connection than lust in these types of relationships.  Call me cynical but I just don't ever see the outcome of these as positive.  In 99.9% of the cases I have seen they break up (cue alligator tears and drama) or the girl gets pregnant (babies having babies) neither outcome is a happy one.

Herein lies my struggle, like I said before I am elbow to elbow with YA as a teacher, I know what they want and I know it needs to be incorporated into my writing and guess what they want?  Teenage romance, I am literally making my vomit face just to express how I feel about it.  I hate those relationships, I hate how shallow and meaningless they are, I hate seeing the negative outcomes, and most of all I hate seeing the unrealistic expectations that come about from reading YA books with teenage romance in them.  I know I need to give my audience what they want but I HATE what they want, it makes me think too much of the nausea inducing popular novels of late, I'm thinking specifically of a vomitty vampire series.  I'm thankful that my current novel doesn't have a romance so I don't have to deal with it but my next sci-fi series will have romance and I just can't get over my utter disdain for teenage love.  I have to learn to block my reality, school, from my writing and create romances that are both believable but not sickening.  I have to learn to be true to myself but also give my audience what they want, I just don't know how to do that.  So here's my question to you dear readers, I need some time to think and process how to proceed with a healthy YA relationship in a book.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Help me not feel so cynical about this!
