True love at a young age; Is it possible?

This is always a thing that people have many opinons on. A lot of people feel like that if you aren't a certain age and you love someone it's not true love. Then there are people who believe that true love can happen at any age(not like at age 10). What do you think about it?
I think that you know whenever you're really in love with another person. And I feel like if you're mature and you have these feelings, then it's possible for it to be love. It really bothers me when people(my parents) try to tell me that I'm not really in love, or they try like making jokes about it when I talk to them about my boyfriend. I'm not really young tho. I'll be 18 in a couple months, and I've always been told that I'm very mature for my age. So I've never ran around using the word 'love' unless I really mean it. And I feel like this is the first time I've ever really been in love with someone. I hate when they say stuff when they don't think I'm serious about this. I really am serious about my relationship with my boyfriend. I am very mature about the whole thing. Well at least I try to be. I hate whenever anyone thinks I'm not serious. I've been dating him for almost 9 months and we have never broken up. Another thing about love at a young age, a lot of teens feel that it's love if you have sex with the person, or adults don't think it's love unless you have sex with them. I agree with neither. I'm still a virgin and I plan on staying this way until I'm engaged. I do think that sex is a way to show you love someone, but it doesn't mean you love them because you do it, or that you only do it because you love them. There are many ways to show a person you love them, I just chose to do it without having sex. I know that I am in love, and this is the first time in my life.
I do believe that you can be in love and still be under 18. I don't really feel like age should matter. If both of you are feeling the same way, and it doesn't go away after a long period of time, then I do feel like it's true love. There are other reasons to prove this also. But this is just all my opinon, and a lot of people might agree with me, and many might not. I just don't like when people put an age on love. Love isn't determined by age, its determined by how you feel for another person and how much trust you put into them.
Feel free to leave your feelings on this subject. Thanks.
