I think most people when they are teens say that they love somone and think that they love someone but what they are really doing is finding out what love is. because you cant love inless you know what that is which at 14 through 18 you dont your basiclly testing out love, kind of taking it for a test drive. so never say i love you unless you know what it is and also really mean it because in the long run it only really hurts you. |

STACY, first of all, CA is for the critigque of poetry, so I don't see why you posted this here.... Secondly: Maybe this is the basis of what you think teen love is, but I feel differently. There is no age limit on whether you can be in love, or for anything, really (I'm not saying a 5 year old should be watching porn, but you get my drift). I believe it should be based on one's maturity level, and I, at 15, am deeply in love with who I believe to be my soul mate, the one for whom I was intended....he saved me from a bottemless pit of apathy, and he made me LIVE. Now I do have a sense ofmorals, and the will to fight for them, all because he saved me. So I think you generalization, which was spoken in concrete terms, that teens aged 14 to 18 do not know what love is, is VERY close minded. Besides, on one's 18th birthday, are they all of a sudden blessed with this incredible insight as to what love is? I think not. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

I'm not quite sure why you posted this here as well. You would probably get more responses at the Feelings forum. E-mail me or post something here and you or I can move it. Also, Romeo and Juliet were around 13 years old when they fell in love. Of course, when you realize how old they actually were, it kind of changes the whole context of the poem. Brad |

If you can only know love when you turn 18 or older then when does one know hate? Is there an age limit on that as well? Perhaps at a young age we love for different reasons (does not a child love its mother) and cope in different ways but I still feel at any age one's ability to have a wide and varying emotional range is present. I think sometimes youth mistake loving things about a person with loving a person but nonetheless they feel love, maybe it's just misinterpreted sometimes. I don't think love can be measured (except maybe in sacrafices and compromises) so it's truly difficult to say who loves and who doesn't and how much and how deeply and how true one's love is. Therefore to set an age where love may start to be considered real, seems to be a futile proposition. And I agree with the rest on the matter that perhaps this should have been posted elsewhere such as the "Feelings" board. Take care, Trevor |
