so heres something commonly discussed. is it possible for teenagers to actually be in love. I think it honestly depends on how mature they are. Probably the big diffrence between adults is that they've been out on there own and have more expirence with diffrent types of people. Also you just are more secure with what kind of person you are and what you'd like to see in someone else. It still will probably always be percieved as someone just beeing foolish when they claim they are in love and will stay together forever when they're 17. People used to get married when they were around that age too. Although on the other hand people didn't always marry becuase they were in love
teenage love
By floppyneck - Posted on November 29th, 2006
I've always wondered this too. As a typical teenage girl, in high school, I had many boyfriends. But I know I was not in love because I got over them within a month. One boy, however, took me a full year to fully get over him. Was it love? Who knows (I'd like to hope not, he was an ass.) but now I am dating someone for almost a year and I do believe I am in love with him. He's different from the other guys in the sense that I can be my complete and total self around him. He's seen me without makeup, farting, barfing, everything, and still accepts me the way I am. Thats love, baby. But, I agree with the maturity point. It really depends on the type of person you are. I remember I would always roll my eyes when my friends who went through boyfriends like toilet paper would proclaim how "in love" they were with their new man, after about a week. It took me and my boyfriend now 6 months to drop the "L" bomb. Anyway, I think its possible to be in love as a teenager, but I think some people just throw the word "love" around too much and when that happens, its hard to tell/believe if they really are or not.
