Teenage Love?
Do you believe in love in high school? Could it possibly exist?
No way, kids don't know what true love is... But, how many people do you know that dated in high school that are currently married and happy? I personally know about 4 couples very very well that are now happy after being high school sweethearts. Did they just like each other as teens and grow to love each other? When did the "like" change to "love?" In college? Age 21? 22?23? Or could they possibly have loved each other all along?
How can you put an age on love?
I, personally, believe in teenage love. I truly think it exists. Adults that did not fall in love till they were, in fact, adults, will most likely dismiss it. However, some - like my mother, for instance - do not dismiss teenage love. Do you?

I absolutley believe in teenage love,(: I've struggled with some... intense problems the past couple years, i thought no one understood me. Until one day a boy in the grade above me started talking to me, then he started telling me about him, and then the day came when he found out the real me, well the "screwed up" me.. i thought our friendship was over, but then he helped me, & talked me through everything. I must have cried in fron of him 20 times, and he always was there, no matter what. He was my bestfriend, until the day he randomly comes up to me in the hallway and says,
"Hey.. I uhm, i think i'm in love with you.."
My life changed forever, and thats why i believe in teenage love, i mean, im only 14(:
I really don't know what I think about the subject. I'm only a tween/preteen and I really don't even know if I can comment on this kind of thing. On one hand, I think it's fate for some teenagers to fall in love and the relationship is serious. On the other hand, I see a lot of silly puppy love crap.
????????????????
I truly believe in teenage love. 100%. I know that many teens just throw 'I love you' out there, when their feelings aren't nearly as passionate, but it does exist. Love is love no matter what age. Only you can know what's going on in your heart, so others cannot dismiss it.
Love is different to different people, but everyone'll know when Love has found them. :)
I think that some teenagers know what true love is and that some do experience it in high school. But there are teens that say "I love you" because they feel obliged to say it when they get a new boyfriend/girlfriend.
I believe in teenage love because I'm fifteen and I have a boyfriend that I've been dating for almost a year now. I think our relationship is something real even though we're both in high school.
All in all, it really just depends on the person. Someone can fall in love at any age, whether they realize it or not. It's there.
