I've come to the conclusion that "young love" is a joke...

I like how so many of the ones that think you are wrong and that are totally in love are still in their early 20. So they haven't experienced much it would seem to me in the way of love. I mean how could you at 20. I am not saying that young love doesn't work for some I know for a fact that is does but as a whole I think it is just practice for future relationships and is important for developing relationship skills. I look back at relationships I had between the ages of 17 to early 20's and thought I was so in love and know now it was merely infatuation or lust.

Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately it is too long of an explaination to explain why this is true. And half the people that disagree wouldn't understand anyway.

it's practice love for the real thing. it can give you experience in the dating world

some of its real, it just depends on the maturity of the partners. I have seen a lot of high school sweethearts get married, especially the church kids..they seem to be very happy and in love. but if your in hook up mode and worrying about popularity there's a high chance it won't work

I disagree. I have been with my boyfriend since I was 16 and told him I loved him. I'm 20 and we are still together going strong.

most young people have grand illusions of love and they can really fool themselves. but some of it is real.

Most, yes. But that doesn't mean all young love is a joke. My boyfriend and I are very much in love, and amazingly we're both 21 - which is very uncommon it seems. However, we've both been through a great deal of trials which have shaped us each to be mature in our own respect.
My point being... young love, when both parties are mature for their ages, is very possible.

It is, and always will be possible for "young love" to survive. It's a matter of trial and error, and of course hard work.

Love exist everywhere and all ages. However love evolves, takes on new forms and new expectations as you get older.

Teens do experience love and are capable of love, just as a child may experience love, however as time goes on, the definition of love intensifies.

When you break up, did you never love that person? was it fake? was it a lie? It's simply a matter of fact that your love evolved and unfortunately, it didn't grow together.

So is young love a joke? It is what it is and just know that their will be mistakes and you will live through many love quarrels in one's life and at different stages of your life. So knowing that things may not last forever, does that mean we should all wait?

Of course not, live life for what it is. Fall in love and also feel the pain that comes with it's beautiful end.

People don't regret the mistakes they make, but the ones they didn't.
