Are teens really too young?

what is love? is it defined by age? or really, how does one know when they are "in" love? I think at some point, if you are human you need love, or else you will most certainly die. however, to be "in love" is sort of hard to place. in love can mean really two things, first, that you like that person more than any other person, and second, you like that person so much that you will stay with them like a good stock would stay with a stock holder, though they have their bad times and are hard to be with, it is worth staying with them in the long run because you would still like that person more than anyone else.

i completely ignored your question. yes, there is an age where you have to be too young to say your in love, if a couple of 3rd graders said they were in love you would think it was cute, but also be very surprised to see them married in 15 or so years. however it is more about emotional maturity then actual age to say you are in love truely.

it depends when I was younger every week I loved someone new my history book in school each chapter has ciara lvz . someone different each chapter lol it wasnt love obviously . more infautiation. but then I really did fall in love when I was15 and to this day I still care for that person and always will so there is no such thing as too young for love but its not that often that teens fall in actuall love , at the time they believe they have but most of them haven't and they realise that when they do fall in love

I don't think teens are too young to feel like they are in love. Though it's VERY easy to confuse lust and love when you don't have much experience with either emotion, teens certainly feel "love".

What's different, in my opinion, is LIFE. Love is beautiful but it takes a hell of a lot more than love to make a relationship work. When you are 14 or 15, you haven't had to build a life for yourself and then fit love into it. You don't need to figure out life goals (career, financial, location, children, etc.) and make sacrifices or compromises that truly test the love you feel.

When you're older, you get to learn that it's not all fun and games - juggling work, money, family, friends - strains all relationships at one point or another.

Also, girls are more inclined to think, "I don't care! I LOVE HIM! I'll do ANYTHING!" That's all well and good but what happens when you wake up 10 years later and you don't have a college degree or a good job, you spend your days cooking, cleaning and taking care of kids and you are absolutely miserable because the "love" (lust, infatuation, butterflies) you felt has evolved into an obligation and irritation.

So, sure, teens can feel "love" but I don't think they can be "in love" in the way it takes for a long-term relationship.

I hated being a teen but I think the fresh, hopeful, eager and thrilling rush of young love is one of the best roller coaster rides in life.

Love - heart full of feeling, caring, lust (yes, teens feel it)
Love - head full of planning, building a life together (not yet)

i think it depends on maturity. everyone is different. a little middle schooler or someone who says I love you to every person they date right when they go out really don't know what love is. I think sometimes people get love and infatuation mixed up.

It really depends on the person, not the age.
