Who believes in teenage love?

Who here believes that teenagers are capable of actually loving someone of the opposite sex? I don't mean bare attraction based on the other's pysical appearance but actual love.

I'll post what I think...later...at some point....in the future...

Love is created through circumstance. For a couple, love might be best sparked during teenage years.

However, I believe most (if not close to all) teenage relationships are destined to fail.

EDIT: Girls also make me horny O_o.

Well it really depends on the maturity of the teenager. There are smarter teenagers out there than others that can make the right decision about love. And then there are stupider kids who make the mistake of having unprotected sex and ruining there live just by that one night. Teenager have their whole lives to decide when to marry, they can wait...

Girls make me horny O_o

*walks back in*

Well, I used to believe that any romace between anyone younger than like 21 was nothing more than two immature idiots who couldn't control the sexual urges that they were suddenly feeling towards the opposite sex.

And the fact that I went through seventh and eighth grade feeling that and being fully capable of ignoring them.

But certain recent complications, some of you know what I'm talking about (and its really not hard to figure out what it could be), have made me rethink my position on it.

So I'm not sure. I'm leaning toward yes, teenagers are capable of feeling true love, but... Still thinking.

Anyway...

I think it is possible. But I think it is very, very rare to find true love as a teenager. IMO, most teens are just horny

Teenagers can love of course, they just have a harder time dealing with and understanding it. Mainly they are just horny. Guys especially who are about 17-18. I'm 25 now and though I still love the ladies, I can feel a definite difference. I'm not the hormone crazed guy I was at 17.

I don't think our bits and pieces are completely together yet... you can't have true undying love yet.

Girls make me horny as well. o_O

Well, my parents met when they were 17 years old. They didn't really date seriously at the time, and they certainly didn't talk marriage then. But they did eventually marry, and some twenty years later, they are still together.

Of course, they had just recently come in from Vietnam, so their environment was very different. Maybe living in Vietnam just forces you to grow up fast in order to earn money and take care of all your younger siblings.

I'm 18, but I don't think I'm controlled by my hormones now. I certainly was back when I was 14, but at this point...well, you all know what my feelings on girls are. Good looks are nice, but great conversation is better. And if she has any interest in fiction writing...

And I know my roommate is capable of real love. He was 19 up until recently.

Then again, my roommate and I are definitely on the older side of the teenage spectrum.

What is love though? Many people argue it's just a feeling caused by hormones so we will reproduce. Most of the teenagers I know(friends and rest) aren't any where near capable of handling a full relationship. That's why they're never dating the same partner for more than 6 months.

I personally believe it's better to wait until a person's a bit older to pursue a relationship(unless you're in it for the sex)

I'm planning on not having a kid until i'm atleast 30.

lol... depends on what kind of love you are talking about.

I think any person is capible of loving another at any age... but being "in love" is somthing most people never grow to mature to. Age has nothing to do with it in my opinion.

Yes, I do believe in teenage love, but I also know that it is rare. Most relationships I hear about today are lucky if they last a month..but then you have the few that last up to 6 months..if they're lucky. I've been going out with my boyfriend Jason for 8 months now, and we're still going strong. We're also not one of those "let's go out just to have sex and let's call it love" relationships. I'm not saying that if you have sex in a relationship, that you're not in love, I just hear that a lot now'a'days. What I'm trying to say is that I do believe in teenage love. I feel that I'm in love, but I will also only be 16 in September. One more thing... I've noticed pretty much every post says "Girls make me horny", well I beg to differ. Girls do not make me horny.

that pretty much sums up how me and my last GF's relationship was... lasted a minute... then it turned into "let's have sex, don't call it love, and don't even tell people we are doing it"

Ahh yes, the good ol days

When women have kids around that age, they turn out to have mental or physical issues more often than usual.

I'm aiming for 24.

According to my definition of love, it's definately possible

Girls (although not all of them

) do make me horny...
