love

[mr.parasols]

I'm 16 and have been going out with a girl for 2 years and 3 months, that isn't a 'crush' or 'lust', I know its not common but everyone here is generalising teenagers as emotionless, careless people. It all depends on what your classification of 'love' is, I'm sure everyones attributes to love are different and generally uncomparable. In my view, if love lasts forever then you can only love once, and if you break up with someone it wasn't love was it.

I believe everyone who believes it isnt true, has either had a bad relationship in the past or have yet to experience it. Very naive oppinions

[cocaine]

yup lol

I've been in a couple of relationships where I've thought I loved them but realised later that I didn't, and not just out of childish spite like "we broke up now I hate them, so I'll say I never loved them" as I'm friends with all my ex's, I just realised it wasn't love. I've been in proper love once and that was when I was 15/16 (three years ago now! blimey) so sure, kids can know it. I think maybe the definition of love changes as a person changes though, hence why older people think younger people can't know true love.

Yes I think we can.
I was in love, but the girl i loved changed, and i didnt love the new girl (if u kno what i mean) so i lost that love I had

love is a man-made feeling.

theres no place in the brain for "love", there's just emotions that all animals have - happy, sad, angry, etc. love is something that has no specific definition, everyone has their own, so how could you POSSIBLY say that a specific demographic can't feel it? teenagers have every emotion sense that adults do. sure, a lot of teens have crazy hormones and just want to do each other, but they have the same capabilities of love as adults, they just don't follow through as often.

i'm in love with my current girlfriend, and even if we break up i'll still always say that at this very moment i love her.

this just reminds me of that scene in forrest gump:
i might not be a smart man, but i do know what love is.

I'm in love.. so yeah.. Love is true/real for me.

Everyone has their own unique opinion

[:Edzy]

you can fall in love
you can fall out of love

simple as (y)

[leah]

There is no age of when you can fall in love.
It just depends when you meet someone that you fall for,
you could be 14 when you meet them or 40.

[Paulio]

Some people do but some people just think they do. Most people between 14-18 just fall in and out of "love" every 2 weeks.

When some one who is age 11-16 and say they are 'in love' is nor real love and they do not know what real love is - what they feel is lust or a crush.

LOL k so when you're 16 you know nothing about real love BUT OMG WHEN YOU HIT THE AGE OF 17 WOW YOU KNOW WHAT LOVE IS!!!! what aload of **. You can feel love at ANY age. It's more of understanding your feelings which you don't untill you're older. Geez I bet half of you have never had gf/bfs with the responses you give.

and I completely agree with you mr.parasols.. though I never though about the 'if it doesn't last forever then it was never really love' that's not true.. what if your partner breaks up with you? you could still be the one in love. Plus I think you can love and fall out of love but then it brings up the question WHAT ACTUALLY IS LOVE?
