i hate it when, after the first week or so, people are already saying, "i love you" to their partner. and then suddenly they break up after 3 months together. is it really love?

Don't Underestimate Love18% Voted for by Tweedle Dum, ForbiddensCure, Crazy-Dan, Aytac Atlas, 600 Miles Away. (9 total)
Well, think about this. What makes it not real? I can see though, how many adults would think so. For it always seems we say we're in love when we're not. But tell me this. What makes it so different when adults say it? Just because of more 'experiance'. No matter what age you are, even if your 4, you'll know what love is when you find it. Love is a complicated subject. Yes, we all think we're in love at one point in life when we're not. That apply's to you grown-ups too. But think about this, how can you say for the teens whether they are or not? How??? You aren't in their shoes, you don't feel their heart nor their deepest emotions. It's easy to get deep infatuation confused with love. It is. I've been there...Once. But hey, one time does count. Does it not? Fortunatly, I realized my mistake immediatly. It cost me dearly. And I mean dearly. But we all make mistakes. Now when you say teens can't be in love, you are saying fish can't swim. Because people, open your eyes, you might just find that through deepest hopes and dreams, love isn't to be underestimated.

Puppy Love!!! (Mostly)12% Voted for by pure-spirit, birdlover06, Weydon, 600 Miles Away, looking4realtruth. (6 total)
I am a teen nd I have never been in love, but my friends say they have/they are. I know SO many people who say they are in love after about a week or two, maybe a month, and I can't believe them, I JUST CAN'T!!! Maybe I'm acting as an adult by saying this but wat the heck! it just can't happen most of the time! My friend and her boyfriend broke up after they'd been going out for under a month and she kept saying she was in love with him, THIS WAS A BUNCH OF TEENAGE PARP! YES! You can like someone a LOT and be really sad when you break up, but it doesn't mean you're IN love!!! Just to clarify, I do believe that teenagers can be in love, but not as soon as you agree to go out with someone!!! I help out at a brownie pack and they were all horrified when I said I didn't love my boyfriend. Brownies feel that as soon as you say that you will go out with someone, you love them! I SWEAR! That's what teens seem to be thinking now!

It is out there but its there.8% Voted for by LostWithoutYou14, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, GinryuStargazer.
Ok, take this from a teenagers point of view. We know what love is. We experience it through family and friends. And it is possible for two teenagers to fall in love. Adults think that because were teenagers that we are immune to pain or that we cant experience love. But we can. We experience heartache just like everyone else in the world from age 1 to 100. It dosent matter. Love is something more deep then he likes me I like her. Its I would be willing to die for you. And personally I havent felt it yet but I know its possible. You were teenagers once, so you should remember how it feels. Love is Love no matter how old you are.

i have been dating a guy 3 years older than me for 5 in a half monthes now and some people say its a really bad thing because of the age but in our case age is just a number because he is the very first guy i have actually been able to be myself around in the many relationships that i have had!but my pooint is that u cant choose who u love or when u start loving that person, it is just one of those things u just know.

I'm 15 and in love.4% Voted for by Kayden S, ForbiddensCure.
I have been in love twice in my life. You know when you're in love when you accept someone for their faults (and even find them cute at times). Looking back, I can tell the difference from a crush and a love. It's just a feeling so incredible, starving and insatiable... you know. I disagree with the person above me inthat I don't believe time tells love. Whether you're together for a year or a week. I do think that a crush is often misconstrued by the teenager as "love". Arguments and how often you have them has nothing to do with love either. We may never truly know what causes love but I'll tell you one thing from my personal experience. Love needs communication, understanding and most of all, reason. You can't be blinded by how "hott" that guy looks, or how "beautiful" she may be. No, love should be based on the fact that you get along and have a passionate relationship with a balance of the physical and mental. You need to be attracted both ways, otherwise, it's not love.

Immature Tweenty Year Olds4% Voted for by Tweedle Dee, nays-lil-boat.
To be honest, love IS love. I get so tired of critics who exist in their own world. Critics are smart, brilliant and preety cool. But give me a break, they don't know everything. What does love have to do with age? WHAT DOES LOVE HAVE TO DO WITH AGE? I've had tons of dates, and I had never loved except once. Not everyone is in love after the first week, in fact most hardly don't even like the person who asked them out if they don't get to know them after a week. So how can they love? But if it is instinct. If it is feelings for a long time but their just now going out then why not? So what their young, thats great they learn to understand each others feelings. A 14 year old compared to a tweenty year old can probably make better decisions on cases like running and exercise, friends and family. It is not wiseness or smart moves that declare younger siblings any different than the older it is the age. If you treated a four year old like an adult she's going to act like an adult. If you buy everything the 20 year old needs, hes going to be a money asker and mow lawns til he's fifty. Age is not the difference. Its ever stinking person on the plannet. And depending on who that person is, I wouldn't doubt who they are and how they act around love if you have yet to see them in love. For they could be just as much as you or I, but you refuse to see it for you refuse to sink to that level and admit that they could be more in love, more in charge than what the furute holds dear. Give the children credit for once, can your mind not except what it refuses to regard?! They are the next generation, at least give them hope.

...Most teens that are in love are only in puppy love. I personaly know that I love somebody, though I am not sure that he even likes me. You don't have to be in a relationship to love.Voted for by CrazyRebel.

i was in love once too...Voted for by Chanell.
i was 15 when i fell in love. it was the most confusing emotion i ever had in my life. not only was the fallin in love part confusing but fallin in love with a GIRL (we lasted for a yr and 5 mths off and on). so yes teenage love is true and very real because those who feel in love as teens, still look back and wonder "what if".

Sometimes it is realVoted for by Wolf of Roses.
Many teenagers say that their in love, but alot of them don't even know what love really is. Most probably say it just because they think it's what they're supposed to say when they are in a relationship. But there are a few cases where it is true love. For the few of us that know what love is, those are the few who will know if it's real. The rest of us will just keep thinking we're in love and never know if we've actually found it.

I was Once in LOVEVoted for by Neartheedge.
Im 14 and have been in love before. For a minute I thought I wasn't going to find somebody who liked a girl that had a dark spirit or just plain goth, but i did and after 3 months we broke up over something stupid. I always thought we wood get back together but little did both of us know is that we were waiting on each other to ask for another chance. We figured it was 2 late but it finally took me 3 0r 4 months to get over him and yet i still think of him. Enuff bout me but Teenage love is sacred and actually hard to find cuz now today dont nobody have trust in their loved one, Love is something everybody shares. Now if you think your in love with him or her just cuz their hot NO YOUR NOT. You gotta love someone cuz their kind sweet and caring etc.,sure they can be hot but what about their personality? But all im trying to say is love makes the world go round

in loveVoted for by Hales13.
I'm 17 and have been dating this guy for 4 monthes. He's the first "real" relationship I've ever had, and I do love him dearly. I am a practical person, and not one to drop everything and go to him when he calls. It's not that pathetic kind of love. But he has brought out a side of me I never thought possible. I find myself taking little risks I never would have before. Oh, and we haven't fought about anything yet. I do love him, and always will, even if we don't work out *knock on wood lol* because he has been the only one to really bring me out of my shell and get me to do simple things (like try out for choir-- I didn't think I could sing) I wouldn't normally have done.

"love"Voted for by Tovid55555.
After research and thought I have come to the conclusion that it is immpossible to love a person. I understand the feeling and have felt it before, but still I do not think there is a magic word called "love". I know the feeling that you call "love" - I know it well....yet I believe that it is not the thing which you "love", it is the way they make you feel, and i'm not talking sexually here - the way that someone makes you feel emotionally is what you love and the reason that you need to share yourself with them. In terms of teenage love - anyone that says teenagers cannot fall in love is in my opinion Infact the feelings of love for them can be even more intense as for an "adult". For the record this is coming from a 14 year old boy who has never kissed a girl.

YeaVoted for by mismixsxy.
I believe in teenage love. I had teenage love before. He was my first in love and sex and I was his first in both as well. We would sacrifice everything to be with each other. I would get into trouble just to see him the next day. My parents were kind of strict about this whole boy situation, but its all clear now:-) YEa but everything we would do, we would go through tornados just to see each other and to make each other happy. he included me with his friends as well as I did. But I had to end it over jealousy. Yea, i begin to be jealous. I never snooped before until I saw this pic in our "love" picture book. it was another girl, maybe he just put it in there on accident. I didnt care to ask. Which I should have cause I do regret breaking up with him. But I broke up with him. OUr love was strong. Everyone said that we would never die. Well I believe that love stays with you throughout your life. No matter how things turn out. Maybe we just might get back together. But when memories come, they will always be with you. So I believe in teenage love.

Love or infatuationVoted for by deathofsunrise.
This is a topic my boyfriend and I have talked about quite a bit. We both agree that while love CAN happen between two teenagers, the term has been stripped of it's true meaning by couples who think, after what really amounts to no time at all, they are in love. This is because love has become a synonym for infatuation. Sure, a couple can be infatuated with eachother after a few days, weeks, months, or even years, but love is something that is developed and not instantly created. Like a small flower it starts with the seed of 'like' and grows through nurturing and caring. It's just our opinion, but as a teenaged couple of three months, we both believe it's not a term to be used lightly.

real loveVoted for by pnktrky.
"love is not i love you or you love me, it is i love you AND you love me." my senior quote. this love is for the other and the other for this. so if they really are in love with eachother it does not matter the age. im 18, a father, adn would be a husband if it wasnt for the fact that i had to leave the country in order to become legal. i lover her and she loves me. i believe i have found real love. you have to search and be patient. well more patient than search but hay.

I feel that the love I feel, goes far beyond anyones understanding. But may be the simples form of love is the one that IS understood.
