I am sick of the guy who obsesses over the girl: the songwriter, 3458345 telephone messages, love notes, picnics under the stars, the works. Girl breaks up with him and he mopes for the rest of his life. Love. no, loneliness, lack of confidence, insecurity.
And high school. face it. your high school relationships are probably going nowhere. "high school love." that's a contradiction in itself. rarely does one find "love" in high school, and when students claim to "love," it's usually merely an illusion created by their idealistic brighteyed and bushytailedness, as well as a need to feel wanted, or to attach themselves to something concrete. Or perhaps they're bored and feel the need to get caught up in the whole dating fad. After all, it does get them the attention they crave. They're just abusing the word to fit their own false, superficial situation. So I ask you to think a little more when you confess "love." If there's one thing I hate, it's people who don't take things seriously about using the word love. And yes, i'm one of those people who takes everything seriously about using the word love. |

QUOTE(brownsugar @ Sep 26 2007, 06:51 PM)  But what if y'all grew up together and you were like family (you knew them all your life) and you could really say you loved them? Like the way you love your best friend. But then you dated them for like two years, and you really fell in love with them? I know a couple like that...they got engaged their senior year, and married their freshman year in college. They are both like 26 now and seem to be working out just fine, but yeah that's a rare, rare case. My Fiance has been my best friend since we met in 7th grade, we started dating our Junior year. We graduated last year, and we are getting married next Halloween :) I know that this is not always the case for everyone, but it does happen.  |

so, love has an age? when exactly do you think it's "serious" enough to really be love?

^ when they actually know what love is.
hugging in hallways, middle school flings, and crushing on people you've never talked to before is NOT love. |

i think true love can be found at any age. i mean there are people who've been married for years claiming love and end up divorcing. there are high schoolers out there who are able to find true love. i don't really think of it as a contradiction.

You're right, true love CAN be found at any age. However, the problem is that everyone THINKS they have found true love at a young age, which is almost always not true. Yes there are special cases obviously, since there are people who mature early, but does your average 16 year old teenager know what love is? let alone what color shoes they want to wear that day? the issue is not that love can only be felt at a certain age, but rather the distorted view of love nowadays. Teens assume they are in love because they what..hold hands? have sex? That is not love. |

^ I don't think you need to know what love is in order to be in love. Love has no real definition...if only a definition prevented you from experiencing anything, what would be the point of experimentation? You wouldn't need to experiment. You would know what it is. No one would go skydiving to find out how it actually feels like if they already know. Fact is, no one knows what love is for sure, and only the individual person can decide for themselves. And that usually involves some trial and error.

i believe if a person is happy getting "butterflies" in their stomach when they see the person they think they "love", it's better than not feeling that way at all.
children may be naive, but they have the right idea. they know no rules or parameters, they just feel. sure, there are teenagers who superficialize it, but if they think they're in love then who are we to claim they're not. of course, there are others who do abuse the word, claiming to be in love while cheating on their mate or having flings. in that case, i believe that individual is just being selfish. that's when the word truly is demeaned. |

All of you who have shared your stories about people you know who met in highschool and are now married or whatever. That isn't the point. I said you can't really find love in highschool. Sure maybe they were together and met in highschool, and then continue dating in college and so on. I'm saying they most likely finally found true love when they were in college of after college or something. It most likely wasnt until there relationship lasted till college or after college was when they finally knew what love really is.

^i guess that would just depend on one's definition of love.
i mean what is it really? why should it depend on time? does that mean people who have only been together for six weeks do not love each other as much as people who have been together for six years? i just don't think there's a time issue. sure, a maturity issue, but one can argue that there are just as many 20 something year olds that are as immature, if not more, than high schoolers. |

Uh Tung, don't you have a girlfriend? And besides, you're out of high school...who the f**k cares what these "high school kids" do anymore. It seems silly to dwell on something that you're not even involved with.

It is possible though.
One can fall in love during high school. I dated this guy freshman year. The 2nd week we were dating, he dropped the l-bomb. I laughed. Literally. I was like...er..sorry but, it's too early for that. You don't even know me that well. I think in order to love someone, you have to know everything about them. I'm not saying you have to memorize their routines, habits etc...you just have to know them pretty well. You have to be able to accept their flaws, and even learn to love their flaws. |
