Love At Our Age?, Young love Options

[cookieskater2]

Do you believe in love at our age?Meaning for me around 14-15? And when I say love I mean REAL love. Like true love, not lust, infactuation or sex..I mean like love. Not "omg i think my new bf is cute hehehehehe!!111" Love isn't just a feeling or emotion...it's also going through trials and obstacles with someone and still holding on because you care so much about them. You care about them more than your own self and you can't get them off your mind...do you really think it can be real love? And do you think the feelings of the two people involved can last through everything and never ever fade away?

...What do you think?

most of the time young love are usually infatuation especially if you're around the 11/12 age but it doesn't matter how old you are, you can experience love at any age.

I hear that a lot .. but sometimes I find it hard to believe. I guess I have to wait until I experience love myself.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call those elementary school couples love. I know this goes against what most people has beens saying, that love can be experienced at any age, but I just find the idea of little kids having boyfriend/girlfriend and calling that love to be crossing the line somewhat. I'm 18, and I still haven't experienced what I would consider to be "love". Sure I've had a boyfriend, and yeah, we went out, kiss, did all the usual couple stuff, but I still wouldn't call that love. It was more of a fling than anything else.

While love can be experienced by anyone at any age, I believe the mature type of love can only be experienced when one has gained lot's of experience of the world. And real love is that type of love. Because little kids don't have that type of life experiences, their version of love is what they can derive from TV, movies, music, and as we all know, those tend to portray love as more of a physical thing than the deep emotional attachment that one find with mature love. And I think part of the reason why kids are getting boyfriend/girlfriend so quickly is that they feel that it is the "cool" thing to do. The boyfriend that I had stemmed from an urget that I had that I wanted a boyfriend. Didn't work out that well in the end, needless to say.

My opinion? That yes, love can be experienced by any age, but the type of love that kids have while in elementary is at most, puppy love. And yes, we should all live a boyfriend free drama world =P

I think at any age kids can fall in love.I`m 12 and a lot of kids my age like 11-15 are saying they love their boyfriend/girlfriend.And some been with eachother as long as 5 months,1 year,2 year..and they keep going.But I understand what you`re tryna say about kids being young saying they love eachother..just like some kids who just started to go out say they love eachother..

I don't consider 5th graders having a bf a big deal. I personally think its kinda cute. Like my sisters friend (5th grader) buys a gatorade for his gf everyday to show his "love."

Age doesn't matter. Its just a number.

And that too! It sort of seems that maybe over the years, the younger will act like the older more & more. That's scary.

I think its best if they experience love now its better to have more experience

[marzipan]

it doesn't matter how old you are, you can experience love at any age.

i agree, but i think 5th and 6th graders don't understand LOVE love....they have b/fs and g/fs, but i don't think it's anything serious.

And exactly how old are YOU?

I'm going to merge this topic with the second one listed above.

[pinacoolada]

I agree..age is just a number. Those who do not believe that love can exist in relationships from ages 13-15 probably haven't experienced it yet.

[*xcaitlinx*]

yes, i know it's possible. i'm in love and i'm 15 (almost 16). like people say---age is only a number. my boyfriend and i are very mature and we love eachother a lot even though people might think that it's impossible at our age.

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

Maybe..

this is what my friend wrote....


children that are 5yrs old could feel this "powerful" love. & for children, this love would be even more powerful than when they get older because their thoughts aren't clouded by sex or that obligation to die for the one they love.

think about it. you wonder how much the "love of your life" really loves you, so you ask: "will he die for me?" & you judge his love by whatever answer he gives you.

children don't think about death.

this thought: "will he die for me?" doesn't cloud their thoughts. all they want is to love and be loved back. the exact amounts don't matter. obligations like "dying for the one you love" or "giving sex because he loves you" or "making your girlfriend your first priority"...etc don't matter to children.

just love, & be loved back.

as we get older, we claim "i just want to be loved and be loved back," but we place so many obligations to it. so many rules, so many preconceptions of "how to 'truly' love." or "how to act to prove your love."

we make it so complicated.

so--- basically, my answer is: we can love at any age.
children have it best.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

There is like a slight chance nowadays but I think it's possible. Me parents met when they were 8 ^_^ happy married yo!

I agree..

Older people have "rules" of how to express their love, or how love should be expressed to them. I think love is flows like water. Water flows everywhere, therefore love can take different forms.

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

NO WAY. you are way to young to be in love. i mean you have your whole life ahead of you still. i can like someone but not love them. its like this. my cousin was in love with this dude (and he with her) since she was 15. Now she is like 20 years old and to say the truth she is getting tired of it. It does not mean he isnt a fantastic guy because he is, but she never lived out her youth being single. you know like meeting new guys and going out to the movies with friends with having to invite your boyfriend everywhere. and those lost times wont come back again. i just think that love at 15 is not the best thing in the world but it could happen

[pinacoolada]

Maybe that's just because you haven't experienced it yet..

You can't really control it. It's really different for everyone, some can love at that age, some are not capable. But it certainly is possible. Because if what I'm feeling now isn't love, then I don't know what else it could be..

and oh yes..exactly, "you have your whole life ahead of you" so why not love? Some may enjoy it, some like your cousin, may get tired of it. But it's life, you just let it go. If you need to be with that person, then be with them. Just because you're young it doesn't mean you have to hold back. It doesn't mean you have to wait. You just love when you are in-love. And usually, nothing can stop you from being with that person. Or at least trying.

I don't care if I spend the rest of my "youth" with my boyfriend. He makes my life much more fun.

By the way..I'm fourteen = ]

[myPESTICIDE]

I really doubt anyone can fall in love in teen years. You may think you're in love, but really it's just a huge crush. Maybe you just wish you were in love, so then you think you are? Idk. But you're too young to truly understand love. So am I, and half the people on this forum.

[xCrys]

Hey I'm for love at any age. (this topic is way old haha) But I believe people can truly love eachother at any age. Come on, what does age mean anyway? It's just a number. Its maturity, commitment, communication, trust, companionship, etc etc, that make a relationship, and if they can have that at their age, then they're lucky -- it just means more years they can spend with their loved one <3

[Something Vague]

I believe alot of kids at our ages think they know what love is.

We tend to feel the need to tell eachother that we're in love with them the minute you start dating. Call me old fashioned, but that's just wrong.

the word you're looking for it "like"... like!

[xmy_sweet_reveng...]

True love can happen at any age, but i think that age is slightly too low atm. i guess it depends how strong you are at heart tho

haha...well, I agree on the "We tend to feel the need to tell eachother that we're in love with them the minute you start dating". I hate the fact that teens like me put "I love you _" the first day they start going out. Well my boyfriend did that at first..and I knew he just liked me a lot. But now..I'm pretty sure it's more than that.

And no,"like" is definitely not the word I would use. Besides, how can you judge how other people feel? How do you know it's impossible..

[Comik-knerd]

No i believe that true love can not be held untill at least.....18 but even then... When your that young it's not true love its...hormones. you can love one another but not true love like the love that our perants have for us and eachother.

[*Teenage Mutant Ninja Meg*]

possibly. but i think most teenagers arent capable of it. sadly -_-
teenagers are getting the misconception about what love is truly about. but i think there has to be some people that understand. so for the most part, no.

I agree. I don't think you can truly love someone unless you've been with them your whole life. My parents have been married for 20+ years and are still discovering new things to love about eachother. Teens these days use the word love too lightly. It's not something that just happens.
