I wish ur books get publishd

Though this article is old.. I felt the need to state my opinion regardless. I do believe that "Teenage Love" exists. In my own experience, at my school the more people you date, the more of a 'name' you make for yourself.. meaning a 'bad' name. So it's actually frowned upon to date just to date. I myself, though I'm only 18, have experienced real love in high school. You can't put an age on love, and granted most my age are more 'infatuated' than they're in love, but there are a select few who have found something real. We all learn with time anyways, so having 'fake’ love at this age just seems to be a part of the growing/learning process in order to come to know what real love is. I see the 'fake' love (infatuation) as a stepping stone to 'real' love. This is just my personal opinion, but the main point I was trying to make; is that you cannot put an age on love.. love knows no boundaries and has no 'age' limit, no definite age to when love can be declared 'real'. It's unfair to jump to the conclusion that all teenage love is fake. Though most teenagers my age are foolish and naive, this does not effect their ability to fall into real love, (though it can cloud their judgment on whether or not it‘s real) they can still fall into real love without even knowing that it is real. Real love comes at you full force, at any age, time or place.

The problem most teenagers have with love lies in trying to decipher if it is real or not. Most make the mistake of thinking it is real only because they wish it to be. Young adults will learn in time, and until then.. I see no harm with infatuation being mistaken for love. Yes, some teenagers make rash decisions based on what they believe to be is love, but who are we to say it is not love? We are not “love” police, WE do not decide if two people are in love. People decide for themselves.

I agree completely, I'm a senior in high school and and 17 years old and i've never had a GF because i never saw the point, everyone always parades around thinking they're so cool, to the point where they have lost sight of what love actually is.

I'm not sure that a seventh grader should really be talking about love. Your opinions are interesting...but it's hard to define something like love...especially if you've never experienced it.

Ridiculous. You don't even talk about how love can bring pain as well. You're putting down whoever's in love. I'm a year older than you are, and I live in New York. No offense, but that's what really happens in your state, where everyone's white and want to fit in so much. Here in New York City, we learn to accept each other's differences because there's people from everywhere and we actually strive to be different, not to fit in. Teenage love really does exist. [true love too, mind you] I'm sorry, but this piece didn't make my day at all. >.<' Work on your spelling too.

i totally agree with you!!!
