Love. Ah love, that's what I want to talk about. Now you might not agree with what I think, but that's what I want to know. Now I have come across many people who don't think it's possible to be in love as a teenager. Personally I have already met my first love, when I was 15. I will say this the rest of my life, now he might not be my last love but he was my first. I know what a crush is, trust me I've had plenty of those as well. But this was different, it wasn't a crush it was way more than that, no we might not have dated because of bad timing but I don't believe that makes my feelings any less real. Now I have even stumbled across teenager who also feel like it isn't possible to be in love at our age. So I ask you guys as fellow teenagers what do you think about love, is it restricted by age?

Love is absolutely not restricted by age! Technically, you start loving your mother and other family member within your first few days of living. As for relationships, I do believe that you can fall as a teenager. You may not always want to fall in love that young, but you can't help it when you do.
ReplyDeleteI do not think love is restricted by age at all! Many teenagers do claim that they're in love when they don't even know what love is, but it is possible to be true. Being a few years younger than typical doesn't change the way your feelings adapt to others.
ReplyDeleteLove has no bounds. And as teens we are learning bits and pieces of what we do love. Be it in people places or things. So falling in love as a teen I think should be encouraged. Fall in love with the words people use. The way the sun kisses the earth. Fall in love with smiles and laughs. Textures and tones. I feel as if people don't think teens are capable of love is because we are so imaginative and creative. We fall in love with the idea of who someone is and not who they really are. So instead of insisting love can't be real so young we should be encouraged to love endlessly.
ReplyDeleteYou can't put an age restriction on love like you can movies and games. You can't say "love is rated M for mature, only for 18+ for possible future, intense feelings, and possible heartbreak." Many adults have a mindset like this, but the truth is that love is ageless, it doesn't matter if you're 10, 16, 20, or 60. How can anyone say that we don't know what love is when they themselves may not know? We don't have a definition of love that tells us when we are in love. I personally think that if anyone truly knew what love is, it'd be us teens.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can put age on love. Love is love no matter what and age is just a number
ReplyDeleteLove shouldn't come in age. Falling in love can sometimes be easy. For all we know, you could fall in love for the first time at age 5 or even age 50 because love finds you at the right time.
ReplyDeleteWell, you can't deny love just by a persons' age. You can love that person all you want, but it's whether or not you should act on it. If an 18 yr. old is in love with a 30 yr. old, then they probably shouldn't date. That's a 12 yr gap, we're talking about. Plus, conflicts might start up because of the the difference.

ReplyDeleteI don't think its impossible to love somebody at a young age, however, I do think that with little knowledge on who and what kind of person we need, it is hard to say you truly love someone. Do we ever really know when we are in love? You can be with somebody for years, think it is love, and then find somebody else down the road and realize you never experienced real love until somebody else showed it to you.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with this. Do I think people can be in love young? Yes. Do I think that people can be mistaken and only THINK they're in love young? Yes! It's hard to know who and what you love until you know who you are. When you're so young, that is all constantly changing.
DeleteI don't think love is restricted by age. You know when you are in love or just crushing on a person. I've known since I was 14 that I found my true love. Now, ending up with him is a different story. But I know that I will forever love him.
ReplyDeleteLove has no restrictions. I can relate to what is being said by what a crush is. But first love is something special. First love is something that can never be taken away. We all have our First Kiss and it's even more special when you get to share it with your first love. I'd like to quote one of my favorite movie characters ever Mr.Forest Gump "I may not be a smart man but I do know what love is". I've lived my life by that quote and I will never stop. If you haven't had your first love yet don't worry they will come. They are going to be someone special and when it happens you will know.
ReplyDeleteI think love can come at any age. So what if where teenagers!? We can still know what it's like to love someone. Maybe it's different maybe it's not but love is love, and it comes in all shapes and forms.
ReplyDeleteLove is terrifyingly beautiful. I really am terrified of it. But it's also a beautiful thing. Falling out of love isn't easy but it happens. It happens at any age.

ReplyDeleteLove is such a weird concept but it is beautiful when done in the best way. Love shouldn't be thought differently depending on your age, and no one should be able to tell you how real it actually is.
ReplyDeleteLove is weird and complicated. I don't what else to say on the subject.
ReplyDeleteI don't think love is restricted by age. We feel love all throughout our lives. Whether it's from our parents or friends love is there. A romantic love is different but I still don't think it's restricted by age. If love is restricted by anything it's time. At 15 you can love someone but by 20 you might not. Over time people change and so do their feelings.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, love cannot be restricted by age. Love is a feeling, and age does not hold value on love.

ReplyDeleteLove is love and you can't pick when you are going to find real love. Yes it could be in your teens, it could also be 10 to 20 years from now. You don't pick when you find your true love, it will find you when the timeing is right.

ReplyDeleteI feel that you now when you are in love with someone and we you just have a crush on a person. I feel the true meaning of love is something that is hard to make out at first but you will now when you truly love this one person and you don't want them to go away
ReplyDeleteLove is such a hard concept for us to grasp because it is a man made concept in itself. what is love? how do you know you're in love? Some may say you can "feel it in your brain" or that "love is putting someone before yourself" but, is it? I don't believe that people can't feel love when they're young, but i do believe that they should try and grasp the concept of love before they say that they feel love.
ReplyDeleteLove is not, and cannot be restricted by age. Love is something that is experienced by everyone, whether platonically or romantically. It's something that keeps a lot of people going. Everyone is capable of feeling love and acting upon it. I think you just know when you love someone more than just a crush. Love is such a strange and terrifying thing but it is incredible in itself.
ReplyDeleteI don't think love depends on your age. My grandparents have been together for 70+ years. They have been around eachother since they were 5 and 6. My grandma said she always knew he was the one
