Oh yeah I know what you meaqn & you are right!
Love is great, but I'm enjoying not being in love right now thankyouverymuch
Well thanks for agreeing with me. I just hate it when people claim they know what love is and teenager can't fall in love. Like I said, love cannot be explained. It is different for everyone. And teenagers can fall in love. Just as much as an adult does.
Love is just cruel. Has anyone else ever experienced a problem where your gf for a while is pulling one of your mates and you see them? I actually got rugby tackled by someone else to make sure i woudnt do anything. Needless to say i will hammer the bastards teeth out with a steel toecapped boot. How has anyone lese dealt with stuff like this?
i don't know.....I would tell her to stop!Hehehehehe.........
I think we're at a stalemate here.
The older people here would say that young teenagers often mistake their feelings for love, exaggerate their emotions, etc. It's (with respect) the lack of maturity and experience that leads to such confusion.
The younger people here, on the other hand, believe they're perfectly capable of love -- just like the older people here believed when they were young -- and that nobody should tell them what they do and don't feel, or understand.
The logical reasoning to this would be that when the younger people get older (more maturity and experience), they may agree with how the older people are thinking.
I think that these people don't respect love!Love hasn't got age!
Adults just confuse the fact that teenage love is love, just that, like I said, it's qualitatively (and probably at least a little quantitatively) different than adult love. Neither adults or teenagers seem willing to recognize the difference.Quote:

Falling in love sounds painful, what if you trip? Or fall down a long flight of stairs on accident? Or, or...
Well nevermind. I think love can definately exist when you're a teenager. People used to get married when they were 13 so I don't see what the big deal is, it's all just a developed facade because some adults are idiots and got their hearts broken.
Do any young people ever wonder why older people always say younger people don't know or understand love? It is just something you learn when you get older. Not to say that kids don't still have feelings, it is just that the ability to understand those feelings can only come with experience, and therefore time.
I turn 18 soon and my boyfriend turns 18 in a few months. We are 17 and I think that our relationship is very special. He is my first boyfriend. When we turn 18 in a few months, we will still have the same feelings. Some people start dating at 11, but I am 17 and my boyfriend now is my first boyfriend. We met a few years ago and it took us awhile to get together. Now we are very happy. His best friend used to have a crush on me, so it took even more time to get together because of that, but we are very happy.
Things are great for us. I love anime and manga love stories where the couples are teenagers.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, Ayashi no Ceres are my favorites. I've been a fan for 10 years of anime/manga love stories. They have wonderful teen love stories. I've been a Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon fan since 1995. I love Tuxedo Mask. I always wanted a wonderful love like that. Now my boyfriend and I are 17. We are almost 18 and we are happy and in love. Love is very real for everyone.
This, however, does not mean that the older people are right.Quote:

While it is true that alot of whiney teenagers mistake their feelings for love, that does not mean that all teenagers (or even a majority) 'can't love'. To make a statement like that is purely asanine. Now, I haven't been in this debate at all, so I'm a little out of touch with what has been said, so bear with me please.
You do not need to understand a feeling for it to be there. I'll agree that alot of young people don't understand love, but that doesn't mean that they don't, or can't, love.Quote:

I never experienced such a thing, but I think the people who automatically say you can't be in love based on your age are just as silly as the teenagers who call themselves lovers after Taco Bell and a movie one Saturday night.
