I have a lovely husband but here in the school that I work at lots of students are really upset that they didn't get cards and no one cares about them - it sucks

No one has to suffer on Valentines day, maybe your students didn't get the cards they hoped for, but someone in their life loves them and who needs a card when you have love.

You should mobilize and do something about it at your school. Try starting a program that makes all feel loved. After all, this is just one day of 365 in a year and is all about allowing the card makers, florist and other merchants to make EXTRA money. Nothing more. This is actually the time of the year when I DON'T buy my wife flowers. I try to instill in my sons and my daughter that showing your love is not a once a year thing.

Why do you suffer? It is just another day that people use to get your money for the flowers and cards. There is TOO MUCH emphasis on so called holidays. A person can be in a crowd of a 1000 people and still be alone. A person like myself THAT is alone is content to be that way. I have friends who I can be with, but I choose not to as I like the way things are. Alone and not hectic.

But yeah.. It is just a retail way to make money now, that's all I see it as... In fact, that's how most traditions are being played out now.. even Christmas and Easter etc...

More progressive schools have a new policy:
if anyone gets a valentine, everyone gets a valentine:

Reason: so that none feel "forsaken" by
Awful Lawful God said: "I will forsake you";
Grace Us God said: "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee".

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.

Because it is soooo COMMERCIAL -- businesses are making oodles and oodles of money from all the sappiness of the people who want to celebrate "love". People love LOVE - they want to think they are in love, they want to have love, they want to believe they have found love -- and what better way to celebrate it than declare a day for love.

Well, don’t you worry now!
You can tell your problem to me if you have!
And that would lessen the heavy hurts you are feeling right now for your valentine’s day.
Don’t you worry now! I’ll be a wall for you to lean on!§§§§

take it with a pinch of salt.. then its not so bad.. if you have a partner just have a laugh with it. do something different like go snow boarding or something.. if you're single, then its a good excuse to either stay in and pamper yourself or get you single mates round and get drunk! there.. sorted.. why hate it so much?
