Teenage Love?
August 19, 2009
Do you believe in love in high school? Could it possibly exist?
No way, kids don't know what true love is... But, how many people do you know that dated in high school that are currently married and happy? I personally know about 4 couples very very well that are now happy after being high school sweethearts. Did they just like each other as teens and grow to love each other? When did the "like" change to "love?" In college? Age 21? 22?23? Or could they possibly have loved each other all along?
How can you put an age on love?
I, personally, believe in teenage love. I truly think it exists. Adults that did not fall in love till they were, in fact, adults, will most likely dismiss it. However, some - like my mother, for instance - do not dismiss teenage love. Do you?

My novio and i have been together for almost a year dec 18 is our anniversary... hes a very ginuine person and he has told me that im his first love well i believe hes mine as well but i need to pace myself through this because one of my past relationships only was a year and some months... ppl say we act like a married couple its hard to accept i tried something different, and such wonder came out of that decision if he can prove hes willing to fulfill this us and show he loves me, then i will eventually stop fighting him... only thing about teenage love is if youve been through what i have, its extremely hard to let go and move on... but i believe we will make it... funny thing i forgot to mention is we werent attractive to eachother and after a few months came time and faith and young love... i just know if i can accept what is and not hold back that he will see and believe it more that i still love him... so yea my virtues are his blessings and his honesty is my promise... time will tell

Love has no limits, therefor you can fall in love anytime and any place.
yeah like my sister, she fell in love in high school, stayed with the guy for four years!!! but then they got in fights and it fell apart... you know true love wont always happen dont think the one you have fell for is "the one" it happens all the time... and yeah its tough she still loves him but he dont love her... so it wont always happen the way you want it...

You don't decide to fall in love it just happens when you least expect it there for its a feeling.

I believe in teenage love. i really like how she mosty used questions in her article but she didnt always answer them. i think there is no age on love. there is all kind of love. friend love and "true love." Some people thinks relationships are games and those people prob. wont find there love like that. other poeple take relationships seriously and those people will prob. find their love. it's there choic what they pic. but people need to stop saying love in high school isnt real. they might say that just because they dont have a love. it may take people awhile to find tehre true love but for some people it doesnt take that long for some people.

I agree to a certain extent.. it really depends on the individuals involved. To me, true love is complete sacrifice. It's hard to find teenagers who are ready for that. Most teenagers see love as a feeling, something that is quick and requires no effort, something that is transitive. When people get older, love changes from a noun to a verb. So again, it really depends on the people involved and if they are mature enough to make that transition.. if they hadn't had it from the beginning.

i believe in teen love because i have been in love before. its like nothing else in the world matters except for that other person... and i have never fallen out of that love, even when we broke up.

I think that falling in love is easy but staying in love is what is hard and takes committment. Love is not a feeling its a decision.

I agree that teenage love certainly exists, but i also think there is a reason some idmiss the idea. The truth is, the vast majority of teen relationships don't even last a ful year. There may be instances where two teens are really in love, but it is not common. Teens just think they are in love while they are going out with someone because of these little crazy things called 'hormones' that are raging around in our bodies, and they amplify any feelings we have. So i both do and don't agree with this article. I also think it was too short and I can't really take anything seriously that doesn't go past the author's own experiences. If you included some facts it would be better.

I'm on my way to beliving teenage love is a true thing. But it is rare! Mighty rare indeed! I personally love no other than my own family and friends but I haven't exactly ''the one'' to claim my love to. Love is complex subject that we change the definition of throughout our trying lives.

I think I agree with Qwerty but I also agree with you guys. I think teenage love is there but at the same time it isn't. There have been TONS of stories about Teenage love and how people who fall in love young, marry young and stay together for 30+ years say that they felt like they kinda missed out of things in life they would have liked to expirence. So i guess it just depends on the indiviguals.
But alot (and i mean a LOT) of teens love the idea of love and not love itself. Some people also think its love, break up, meet someone new and that old love seems like nothing compaired to what there now feeling.

Ay Dakota she isn't wrong. Thats her views so stop taking sides. Dont force your opinion onto her. Acknologe that your views are different and move along. Dont tell someone else their views are wrong because you dont agree. Try to be more open minded. People with open minds tend to have stronger relationships and fight less. So please dont be pushy.
