Love-charm is something very widespread in society and from a long long time, but especially for the last ten/fifteen years I think. Now, you're seeing ad for some "magical method" to find love everywhere… on your cellular, on the web… Really, who hasn't already received an email with some questions and instructions you have to follow to attain your love ? And if you don't send this email to all your friends, your love will hate you of something like that ?
In this video (School Days, 1st part), the charm in question is linked to cellular. Here, you have to put a picture of the one you love on your cellphone during 3 weeks. If no one sees it during all this time, your "darling" falls in love for you. I found this belief pretty cute… you have to hide your love, like a shy person (okay, when you are using a charm to find love, you're obligatory shy !) as you're keeping it in your secret garden, it's really moving.
I don't believe in love-charms and I never did one, but it remembers me my childhood. When we were child, it was really simpler. I remember that love was something magical. In nursery school or primary school, if you love someone, you say it to the person and it's okay (most of the time). You go hand in hand with her (/him), have some kisses, and promise an eternal love to each other !
In real life, it's less magical than in childhood. As you grow up, you know a kind of disillusion, love is not so simple, not so sweet, not every time mutual… When you're a teenager, love is more like jungle : an world with no-mercy and many dangers !! Lot of people have some difficulties to accept themselves and the others aren't very helpful. At this time, popularity is very important, flirting is a question that must be addressed… I think that, most of the time, at high school, love is secondary.
After this "dark period" love becomes less cruel but is ever complicated… It has to be conciliated with all the rest of our life, studies, job, real life…
I think that beliefs we have in childhood are put by our parents and by adults to "keep" children's innocence, and let them dream about love as a magical thing =)
