Connecting with Romeo and Juliet

From what I've read, Romeo seems to fall in love easily, and isn't afraid to break the rules. Juliet is more sweet and wants to please her parents more than anything. We haven't really read much of Romeo and his parents relationship, but Juliet and hers seems to be that they want her to be happy, but they also know whats best for her. The one big decision that I thought the most about was Romeo's to go to the party even though he knew that his family specifically was not invited. This shows the more brave side of him, and how much he thought he loved Rosaline. One thing out of these concepts that I can connect with is Romeo getting advice about love and moving on from his friends. I know that the people I get the most advice from about love is my friends, along with what appears Romeo.
I do the reading every night on my own, but I dont feel it necessary. I can barely decipher anything on my own and hardly understand anything about the book until we go over it in class. It has gotten a little easier as the book goes on and I learn the story more, but not by much. Reading in class is helping me get a deeper and more complete understading of the text. I would not know half the things I do now if we didn't read aloud in class.
