From unbreakable bonds to \u2018special relationships\u2019 \u2013 there\u2019s a lot to learn about love from your school work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 10 of the best love lessons we can learn from all those facts and figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Romeo & Juliet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> English<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> Literature’s (and Shakespeare’s) most famous teenage romance. Two 16-year-olds from warring families find each other and will do anything to be together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> Keep some perspective. Your high school relationships shouldn’t take over your whole life \u2013 and certainly aren\u2019t worth falling out with family and friends for! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Chemical bonds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> Chemistry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> This is a process where two or more chemicals react with each other, and then combine to become one. Chemicals that bond together, stay together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> Find someone who reacts to you the way that sodium looks at chlorine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dido & Aeneas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> Classics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> A classic case of love-bombing. Aeneas strides into the city of Carthage where Dido is literally the queen. They enter a heady romance before Aeneas ups and leaves to return to his mission. Dido never gets over it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> Don’t tell someone you love them and then ghost them \u2013 it hurts!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The UK-US \u2018Special Relationship\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> Politics & History<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> After WW2, these superpowers formed an alliance that included agreements on trade, war, law, culture and policy. And you think your romance is special?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> From romance to friendship, it’s nice to have each other\u2019s back in relationships.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Picasso\u2019s self-portraits <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> Art<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> Picasso painted 30 self-portraits, from when he was 15 all the way up to when he was 90-years-old. If that isn\u2019t self-love, we don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> Don\u2019t forget about the relationship you have with yourself. Go on, show yourself a little more appreciation (no oil paint necessary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Henry VIII & his six wives<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> History<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up: We can all agree that Henry VIII had commitment issues. So keen to divorce his first wife Catherine, that he literally had a new Anglican church invented, as it was illegal under Catholicism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson: Put thought and care into your commitments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Law of gravity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> Physics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> After sitting under that apple tree, Newton taught us that all objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction. And that gravity is what pulls all objects to earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> Falling for someone can sometimes hit, hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. King Edward VIII & Wallis Simpson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> History<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> Before Queen Elizabeth II, there was her father King George. What some of us forget is that his brother Edward was king for a brief while before willingly passing on the title. He fell so deeply in love with the already-married Wallis Simpson that he abdicated the throne for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> Sometimes, love is more important than leading the British Empire. Okay, this one\u2019s not so relatable\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Trigonometry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> Maths<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up: <\/strong>In trigonometry, the cosine rule relates all three sides of a triangle with an angle of the same triangle. It\u2019s a tricky one to remember but it can help you calculate missing side lengths or angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson:<\/strong> Love triangles are difficult to work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. The sisters in Little Women<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Subject:<\/strong> English<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum-up:<\/strong> Louisa May Alcott may have included love and courtship in her novel but the real star of the story is the sisters\u2019 friendship from childhood to adulthood. We see them fighting over boys and then learning to forgive each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love lesson: <\/strong>Nothing beats sisterhood (chosen and not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, these love lessons will help to guide you through the rollercoaster that is relationships. And whether you\u2019re lucky or unlucky in love, the biggest lesson to remember is to always treat people with kindness \u2013 not ruthlessness like Henry VIII.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
