Intelligent Discussion: Young Love

I think that having a boyfriend and being in love is perfectly okay. Now the whole family thing is overboard. It is natural to fall in love, even if it isn't the real thing. Im in love with my boyfriend, to some ppl it isn't love, but to me it is. There is nothing wrong with having a bf. Not everyone gets a bf to be like everyone else. Doesn't everyone listen to music, eat out, go out with friends, have friends, and so on... So is that just being like everyone else, to fit in? I get your point but I dont think its right for ppl to say they are in love. It brings good in many cases. Learning about commitment and heartbreaks makes you wiser about the future and the 'real world'. I dont think it should be obsessed over but I think its okay for us teenagers to be or think we are in love. Its our own choice to do as we please, its part of life.
'fallin in love is one of the best things in life'

For me dating, and falling in love, are just a way to get to know different personalities...to find out who, or what kind of person, you can spend the rest of your life with. It has never really been serious for me...just a fun way to get to know people. I don't think there is anything wrong with having a boyfriend...maybe having one just to jump on the bandwagon...or taking a relationship too far...But it is a great feeling to fall in love. I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

To say you luv someone is sayin alot. Luv is a really powerful word i think and many just say ' i luv you' just for the hell of it, or cuz they want to fit in, or brag bout them havin a bf/gf that luv each other. But i think that u have to be really mature to understand the meaning of love, and the pain and grief that comes with it. From datin u learn alot bout wut a commitment means and how heartbrake feels. Very rarely teenagers end up in a relationship that involes 'true love'. Many times its just a trend thats set out a school. You see others datin and sayin 'i luv you' so u think u compelled to do the same. But how many ppl do u know that met in high school a dated and ended up marryin each other?...and not gettin a divorce? I believe u have to live life first be4 u can understand the meaning of love....heck i don't even know wut it is.... to me love just seems like a word (powerful word)there to make ppl feel better of worse. I mean wut is luv? how do i know i am in luv?....soo many questions left unanswered. But i guess love is a part of life and its ur own choice to determine whether or now u claim to be in love. Everyone has there own opinions and everyone had there own feelings and everyone is allowed to act upon them differently. Everyone wants to find love one day and some just find it sooner then others....it a way of life....love can cause u pain and can cause u pure happiness it all depends....Love is love.....and it depends on who u are as a person to reconize it.....

Dunno if i made any sense at all lolz!...but it does in my head lolz...just when i try to type it all out it sounds way different....ne wayz g2g byez!

IMO, it really just depends on the indivduals personal desires for life, and how mature they are.
Thinking of a family while in school is way to much..
But people should not be having sex in school like they are either.
I will put my basic thoughts on this matter..
I think that it is essential that someone learn young what life is about.
As with someone who is smart it turns into this..
'A broken heart is a heart that has learned what it is meant to do in life.'
So many people are lost in middle->high school.
They do not really know what life is about.
People who find love, and loose it during this time..
If they are able to come out of it and think deeply about it..
They soon realize what it is about, and many times this motivates them in life and sets up the proper barriers needed for society today.
It will make some excel through school, learning in a way they never used to.
And it will excel them in a professional job title.
Or really just something they have always wanted to do.
It really does set some people on the right track for life as it was meant to be.
As for society, it sets them up to realize what to take and not take in society.

Who to hang around with and who not to.
They learn of the people who hold them back and the people who help them excel in life.
Love is not a matter of finding a partner for family (in school).
To me in school it is about matter of finding out on your own what life is about.
And showing yourself what you could have when you are ready in life.
In other words.. Something to show you the true path 'down the road'
This is somewhat my views on love itself for me not to long ago..
Some people find it, others cannot.
But hopefully with guidance from others they can be guided in the direction that they seem to be one of many absent from after a broken heart in school.

bc their mates r on d comp...

I am 14 now and I do believe that being in love is possible. Yes at 11, 12 it is puppy love, i remember thinking i was in love with this class mate boy was i wrong. It depends on the maturity of the person though. you see the one person who is the most popular, right to them love is just a word no real meaning. In most cases Popular kids are shallow I have a family member who is popular and goes through guys really fast, school hasn't started and she has dated the whole football team, When she was in 7th grade she thought she was in love she would follow a boy named Ryan around, she even dug through his trash, now that he has asked her out she dosn't "love him" anymore. (9th grade also). Love is not something to toy with you cannot fall in and out of love a crush is what you fall in and out of love is something that stays with you forever. I am also in 9th grade like my family member, but i am the fat girl in school, i have never really been liked by guys, so i have looked but never really loved a guy till this last year I would think about Him non-stop, and we would mess around, my family hates him but i don't care, we would spend allot of time together, finnaly i told him and we didn't start dating b/c i was moving, but he keeps verry much in contact you see because we know that we both love each other but we love enough to let let go We don't wanna to make the other not experince life because we have a long distance relation ship, so for now we are friends who are close. you see love is in the eye of the beholder, love cannot be defined, it is in my oppinion a feeling that you get when you could not live without someone, you wait by the phone all day for him/her to call, you write and talk all the time, and you hug,hold and kiss, so see we could no touch each other so we loved enough to let the other live thir life fully with out tieing them down.

And you will say i know because i referd to people as "popular" in social class with labels that i am immature, but face it labels are a part of high school now.

I mab onlt be 14 but i do know the meaning of love, and if you want to challenge me or say i don't go ahed you can even e-mail me TianicholeG@Aol.com

I belive Love depends on your maturity level.

Young people like to think they're in love cos it makes them feel older but i don't think relationships at young ages work out that often (i know some people who have ended up getting married and having kids)
At the ages of 11 + 12 if people say they're in love it's cos they haven't experienced that kinda thing before.
It's like they always say: you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince lol xxx

I was 13 when i had my first love. you can not control love. i agree though you shouldnt be thinking bout starting a family and everything else.
