On Valentine’s Day affection can be shown to a significant other. This affection can be shown to make one see how much he/ she is loved and appreciated to another.  This affection can also bring happiness amongst the two. When asked what a good way to show affection was one student answered, “A good way to show affection to a significant other is to buy them something nice like jewelry. It’s also a nice thing to take that person out to dinner and/ or a movie.”

Valentine’s Day can also be spent by spending time with friends. Friends are also there for each other. Friends are the people that you can go to with anything about. They are there for support and always have each other’s backs. They can spend Valentine’s day together just hanging out and talking about how much they appreciate having them as friends. On most days of the year friends like to joke around and mess with each other. On Valentine’s Day there is a little less of that and a little more of thanking one another for being a part of their lives.

Some people like to be with family and Valentine’s Day. Family is full of people who love and care about each other the most. “I’ll be spending my Valentine’s Day with my family because love isn’t just about boyfriends and girlfriends, it also is about family. Families do so much for each other and some kids don’t even realize it. I like to spend my day with my family because they love me and so they know how much I love them back,” says Anna Mattish.

Over all, Valentine’s Day is a day full of showing affection. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a relationship or not. Family and friends is people who love each other and deserve affection on this day along with a significant other.
