Too Young?

I somewhat understand why people say "you're too young to know what love is".
So how young is "too young"?
I've always wondered that!
And I've had people tell me that I was "too young to have a broken heart"
So how young it "too young" for that too?
I'm just really curious about it all.

how old are you people say the same thing to me and i dont think that your too young for love because it is how you feel an not how old you are as in my opinion

12 is pushing it.

No one says that to me anymore, becuase I haven't thought I was in love. But they told me that when I was like 13 or 14

well how old r u right now

Right now I'm 17

There is nothing wrong with being loved, in loved or in any sort of that! On the moment we came out to this vast world we wer instantly loved... (motherly or fatherly love ^__^')! As we grow old we too learn how to appreciate their love and how to return them in our own way... however, its the matter of how u express your feelings. If you like this guy or girl, en just to show and express that emotion your pushing it to much... acting in a way that is not suppose to be done at your age... datz the problem... >___

I believe anyone under the age of 14 is too young.

I remember being told that i was too yung to understand and today I can understand what they were talking about now.

That's a difficult question. I suppose whenever you can distinguish the difference between love and infatuation?
But then I suppose even some people who do know the difference will swear it's love, when it is infatuation - and not really note the difference until it's over.

Well that's just knowing the difference actually. This is hard.

Let's say 16. I say 16, because that is the age where you really begin the changes into adulthood - and love is easier to detect with age and wisedom.

But it could be younger, or maybe even older in different situations and with different people.

I dont think thats true...love has many forms. You can see a very young childs love toward there mothers and father from an early age. You love your family.

Romantic loves grows with a person with age time and experience. Its not that youngsters dont know what love is...its that us older people stop and think back (as they too will one day) and remember the love we knew then...and the love we do now and the two really dont compare.

Yeah, that makes sens

I dont think age should have anything to do with love. Obviously when you're younger, there are going to be those "don't mean a thing" relationships, but sometimes, young people do find the person they love and who they want to be with for the rest of tehir lives. I konw I've found mine.

I don't think that's a question that can be answered. I believe it depends on the person. I know a girl who is 17 years old. She swears she is in love - yet she acts like a 12 year old. She's immature and has no idea - she has no plans for the future nor does she really understand what commitment is all about. However - I know another girl her age (just one year younger) who understands love and knows she's in love. She realized what she had and her heart took over from there. My cousin who is 14 (or maybe 15) isn't in love and never has been but yearns to be - it's her only current aspiration (beside her education) she's a hopeless romantic. Though she's never had it she's knows it. It's a beautiful thing I think. I was 15 when I fell in love - I knew I had found it and I loved every minute of it. I don't think any of us will every really understand love or KNOW love but we can get the gist of it. We can assume we know...

So do you think that's it has to do more with maturity then with age?

I think 13 is a bit young, but i have been with this guy since i was 13 and i fell in love with him probably when i hit 14 and 1/2!! so i guess it really depends on the person!!! But he is much older then me too so maybe that helps because he has his future planned out and mine just fell in place!! so i guess i cant really describe the feeling i know that i cant live without him in my life!! :-)

It all depends on the person, but i have to say below the age of 14 or 15 is a bit young to say that. Normally teens confuse love and puppy love (infatuation).

It depends on each person. I'm not sure that a 12 or 13 year old could understand it but you never know. Yes, I'd say it's maturity.

I don't think it's just teens who confuse love and infatuation, adults do it a lot too

^Yeah, but i'm just saying. A lot of teens confuse it. Some adults do as well, but most adults have more expierience with love.

I get what you were saying. It just sounded like you were completly stereotyping it.

As you grow older you will find yourself looking at things from an older perspective.
