Half or more of all adult love doesn't last a lifetime either.

Teen love is very real. And powerful. Perhaps at no other time in our lives are the joys and pains felt as strongly, or experienced more deeply. Who among us, after all, can ever forget our first love.........So do you remember your first love & do you believe at Teen love?

Teen love is only experimenting with your sexuality. It is merely trying to figure out how to go about things and whatnot. For finding your first girlfriend it is nothing but just trying to make your way into a more adult kind of relationship.

Teen love is not real, it can't be real, the only thing about teen love that is real is finding out what you want to do, like to do, and are planning in the future. Teen love is only powerful if it is induced that way, as a real love. You don't know what real love is at that age. The only love you have seen is from TV, Movies, magazones, etc....

No one may know what true love really is, everyone thinks back on it who is married and says is this person the one I want to spend the rest of my life with? To hold every single second devoted to them? To grow old with them? And to still have a loving relationship with them till I die?

People who spend their entire life looking for a true love may never find out what it is. Thouh the only things that we can say about love is everything you have seen from the movies, Tv, etc etc, etc... We only have ideas and theroies of what it feels like, what we want it to be like.


Don't get me wrong, I've had my girlfriends many times before and each time I wondered in awe as their beautiful faces if this was what a beginning love was. But what can one feel at a tender age? Other than being liked, and liking someone? Pain, betrayl, and anger leads to the ending relationships to most of teens. Still even if you try and keep in touch, it's still very awkward as you see another man/woman with the one you had a relationship with.

The only way you know what true love is, is when you have your own opinions of what it might be. Not someone else's. true love only exsists in what you think it is. Take the information from what you have seen, and done, and put it into a perspective of what it might be like. If you believe in finding the one true person in your life, it may never come, but if you don't do anything about it...then the chance will never arise....so you must think and plan ahead.

***if you're in love then you're in love...there's no right or wrong way to love***
-EDIT-
this world's idea of affection/love/and morals and so twisted, that above quote i just said is sadly abused, i say those words when it comes to a morally upstanding RELATIONSHIP of two people...not "other" things

i'd rather avoid the teen "bloom of youth" personally, but that's just me :)

Yeah that's right but when a (teen) relationship keeps for years & have passed every test..........It is real love!I think so........

Yes, but how often does that happen? I guess teen love (while it isn't exactly the bestest 'love' in the world) is important because it matures into adult love, with experience and time.

There is only one real problem with teen love. And that is the fact that teens so very often mistake other emotions as love. That does NOT mean that teen love is something laugh at, mock, belittle, or whatever.

I have a freind who has been dating the same girl all through Highschool and Jr. high.. well cept for one year where they decided it might be best to have some "away" time. Never found out why they wanted away time. But they got back together the next year(sometime over break if I recall) and have been close since. They have been making plans. They got it all the way up to marriage even.

They got plans to make it through college and the like. They are going to different colleges though. When asked why not try to go to the same college response was from both, "for him [blank]* is best, but I need to go to [blank2]* to do what I want, it is only two years, and we have plans to meetup now and then etc...".

You know my freind is planing to take a 2 hour drive every week or so that way he can see her. She also plans to drive down on occasion.

I can go on.. particually since they aren't the only couple with such plans... and some of the couples are different grades.. meaning one is already going to college and they have made it work like that for 1 year or 2 years depending on the couple(and they still havn't broke up).

However, to be fair I must also say I got plenty of examples where it is botched up and messed up. Particually for the girls that go for the ... err.. .bad boys ... here. Not the best describtion but it gets accross how they act at times. Then the girls end up getting pregent and dumped.. though amazing enough that doesn't happen too often. Sometimes the guy will even stay with the gal.

All I have to say is that just cause something is often mistaken and generally rare, doesn't mean it does not exist.

I agree that teen love can mature into adult love, but in most cases I think that teens only think that they're in love. I have a hard time discussing the subject because I've never been in love, so I guess there's a point where other teens would tell me I just don't understand. What I do know is that I've seen my peers throw around the words "I love you," like it has no meaning whatsoever. That bothers me.

Teen love seems to blossom when they're caught up in the moment. This past winter I thought I was in love with someone. I've always been skeptical about love, though, so I wasn't about to say that I loved her. Still, I thought I did. Now, I look back on it and I realize I didn't feel anything towards her that was even remotely close to love. Sure, I cared about her a lot. I wanted to be with her in a more intimate fashion than the friendship we already shared, but it wasn't love.

Teenage Love exists on rare occasions. Mostly it's one of those situations where someone says "We'll be together forever!" and they end up breaking up a couple weeks later.

Emotions are greatly amplified as a teenager, for obvious reasons, making it difficult for relationships to hold any real meaning. It's possible, but unlikely.

Regarding Aeris 1's post, anime and manga isn't real life. TV isn't real life, movies aren't real life. It's a fabricated, scripted reality. You can't really compare the two.
