Love, are teenagers capable of it? Options

[sadolakced acid]

of course, those of you who have gf/bf probably say yes...

however; think a second... it it really love? can teenagers who don't really know what love is, feel love?

would you die if your bf/gf died? like in romeo and juliet, an 'example' of teenaged love?

and also, is it ok to say 'i love you' if all you really feel is like, lust,infatuation, or fondness?

yes teens are capable of love, and yes most of the time people confuse it with lust and etc. not everyone would say they love their boyfriend if they were honest. if you asked me 4 yrs ago did i love my boyfriend, i would say no. i would say i like him. alot of people use the word love easily, but i don't. i could never say i love you until a year and 3 mths. i first met my boyfriend at 14 and we're still together and living together (im almost 19). yea, we did break up twice over issues within the relationship. but while were apart, we couldnt help missing each other and wanting us to be together. just because you break up with someone does not mean you love them in some cases. anyways teenagers can definitely feel love, thing is how do you know if it rlly is? you'll know when your in love. your in love when you see him/her as perfect despite their imperfections. when you need and want them in your life every waking moment, when you can commit to only them in every way; as in no looking at others, flirting, etc. you'll know when you don't even have to think twice when you ask yourself, when you feel it and know it.

i am a highschool sweetheart, i can't say we will be together forever. no one can say, only God knows. but i do know i am in love, i know i could never feel this way exactly for another, if it ever happens it will never be more, maybe close but never more. i belive you can have two lovers but it won't be the same, not like your true love. true lovers don't always get to be together though, life is complicated.
