    Adults will say no it's not true since they lived that moment before

    teens will say yes it's true we know it's we just know and can feel it

    It has to be real... but then again it also can last but then again MOST teenage boys are immature... it doesn't mean all of them are it is true that some are immature ... but how do adults say that you can love as a teenager because love isn't real so it can't last... but how do they love there spouse... if love isn't real for a teenager

    Sometimes. In my opinion, it starts with either Lust or the idea of having a boyfriend/girlfriend. Some people just need to be with somebody. I went out with my boyfriend at 14, and now I'm almost 20, so it can be really, or become real. I didn't love my boyfriend at first, I liked him, but it has definitely turned into serious love. I can say honestly I didn't really love him until I was 17.

    It depends on the couple and their will to commit, but at the same time circumstances do get in the way as people grow and separate in life.

  • Jaime

    It can last, if both people are mature and committed to the relationship. But about 99.9% of the teenagers who say they are mature and comitted to their relationship will not be with the same person when they leave their teenage years.

    I would also say that people in the later stages of their teen years are more likely (although still highly unlikely) to last, simply because they would be more mature and (probably) more experienced.

    But the odds of it are so, so slim.

  • Jaime

    And I would say it can be 'real', to an extent. Again, it's a maturity thing- and 99.9% of the teenagers who say they are in love right now, will realize in a few years that they are mistaken.

  • Wintersolstice

    Yeah I agree it's all down to maturity rather than age...

    Also agree with rachel - over time any feelings you have for someone can grow into love. I mean I had a crush on a guy when I was 13 and by the time I was 16 going on 17 I think I could in all fareness say I was in love with him. Deep down I guess I still am but he can't be part of my life so I just have to live with that.

    Some last... not many. you really want to have lasting love, it wont be as a teenager. so... nope

  • Haylee

    If it doesn't last, do you not consider it love?

  • Haylee
    17 years ago

    I'm only 14. i think i've been in love, but i don't really know because i'm so young, and so many adults say i couldn't be.

  • Somber Esprit

    Teen love can DEFINATLY be true love... but i don't know if it lasts.

    people grow and change so much as teenegers and it's hard for both people to grow in the same direction.

    i was in a 3 year relationship as a teenager. i would say it was true love. it was NOT based around sex so there MUST have been something more. but we grew apart due to different life experiences. he couldn't accept the changes in me, and i found it hard that he hadn't changed at all. i was too mature, he was immature...

    in short i guess i'm trying to say, YES there is true love as a teen, BUT it's not likely to last.

    I believe in true love in the teen years but i also believe in love comes trust and in your teens you trust alot more people because your a little more naive(well i know i am)
    ok I'll give you an example my aunty Hilary she married her boyfriend shes had since year 6 they've been married 19years now. where as my uncle Craig his marriage only last a year. what im trying to say is dont get your hopes up too high but do trust people and you will be rewarded.

    love you all

  • Elizabeth

    Yes, teen love can be, & is, true (but by teen I'm referring to 16, 17, 18 year old, not some prepubescents). My boyfriend & I are one of the MANY examples of teenage love!

  • HisBlueEyedAngel
    17 years ago

    Well yes it is real for some people if they let it. I know lots of people who have been together since they were in 7th grade and are married and have kids so some people it works others maybe not. I am a teen and my boyfriend and I both feel that we are going to be together forever pluse we have lots of sighns that prove we are ment for eachother you can all say your to young to understand but no I am not.

    I believe that its true i love a boy, he used to love me too, but not anymore i still love him tho no matter what i say .

  • tears i cry

    Thats not love love is a mutual feeling between to beings

  • broken reflection
    17 years ago

    I don't believe in the word love all together: But I believe it could be possible for two younger people to last, just like it's possible for two older people not to last.
    I think if one person in the relationship is always ready to fight for it to work, then there's hope.
    But not love>its a meaningless word now, so overused its overrated.

  • Sarah

  • CassandraXVeronicaXONealaXLawson

    There is no real answer to this question sometimes it last sometimes it doesn't there has been many people that have dated since high school and 12 years down the road are still happy :)

  • marilyn marti

    Its possible..it takes two ppl to make a relationship work..the only problem is that its hard to find a boy that is at that level of maturity in the teenage years! right now most boys just want to have fun and get alll the gurls to like him so its hard to find a guy who really wants a committed relationship..but if both really want it then it sure as hell can happen.we know what love is no matter how old we are and isnt that what really counts?

  • Brittney
    17 years ago

    It's possible, and as many people have said it depends a lot on maturity level. Also, the two in the relationship have to understand that everything isn't about them and they have to want to be there for their other. It's not likely that it will work but there are many cases where it has so I guess it just depends on the relationship.

  • handsome

    A teenager could mean 19years, i'd say that's almost matured

  • Fluffy
    17 years ago

    It's a possibility. But, there are a number of things that would have to contribute to a long-lasting relationship.

  • Catastrophic Beauty
    17 years ago

    It can last. I know a lot of adults that were together since they were teens. I guess it just depends on wanting it to work and making it work.

  • Quiet Storm

    To adults teen love is just puppy love but it doesn;t matter how old you are when you fall in love.

  • Independent
    17 years ago

    Age aint nothing but a number. It doesn't matter how old you are. But if your like 12 or something than i would say no. But once you hit yur teenage years 13 and up i think that you can be in love. it doesn't matter because love isn't based on an age.

  • ABrookeD
    17 years ago

    It's not age that determines whether it's real or will last. It's maturity. My cousin started dating her ex at 13 and it started out as puppy love, but they lasted almost 5 years. They were in love and still are, but my cousin was the one who ended it because they are miles away from one another in seperate colleges....and she was confused about her life. Yet he still continues sending her cards and letters and flowers telling her he loves her and can't stop thinking about her. It is possible...but very, VERY rare for a teen relationship to last. Besides i'd say 95% of teens who claim they are "in love" have no clue what love is.

  • Lyla

    There is no question in my mind that teenage love is real. I'm not saying that every teenager who thinks there in love is, but for those who are it is definatly real. More then likely it will not last the rest of their lives, but it is possible for teenagers to feel real love.

  • Beauty In The Breaking

    I think that it can seem real to us at the time =P I'm 17 so there for still a teen for a few more years and I know many people that have been together since they were 16, 17 and stayed together till one or both of them died but...I think that as teenagers most don't realize that for it to be actual love and for it to last it takes a lot more then just feeling an emotion that you can't think of any other name for but love and enjoying hanging out =P
    Will what your feeling be strong enough to last and hold up under the stress of the world outside your parents house and outside school? Life is cruel and hard and when you have no time to play around because you have to worry about paying the bills, putting food on the table and things like that...will what your feeling survive?
    I'm not saying that teenage love can't last, I'm just saying that most of the teens that go around saying how much their in love are going to face a lot that will test that love and most times it's easier to give up so they do =P
    How mature both parties are is one of the ruling things though ^_^ Not thinking that your mature but BEING mature and knowing whats out there helps too.
    I wish all you teens that feel your in love the best of luck but...I think the times we fall in love as teenagers are mostly training for a real relationship later on since so far I don't know many that have lasted over 3 years between my friends, family and people I know =P

  • Hermosa

    Of course teen love exists and is true...people at any age can fall in love most teen loves dont last because teens dont have the experiece and dont know how to keep it together and how to fight through the barriers. But yet there are some exceptions.

  • Marly
    17 years ago

    Love is love. It either works out or it doesnt. I dont think age plays a role in this part of life. Atfer all my coisin married a girl he spent all his teen age years with and now they have a family and they r sooo happy.

  • BrokenVodkaBottle

  • Elizabeth

    ^ I totally agree with you Angelina, alot of teenager say, "I love you," too fast, believe they are "in love" or assume what they are feeling is "love", when in reality what they are experiencing is a portion of the symptoms commonly associated with love, like lust; for sex, money, publicity, etc., or simply that they LIKE that person, say, because they’re fun to be around with (…& so are friends). If you say, “I love you.” to someone if you really mean it; if you really love them, and if you don't love them; or mean it at the time, or even if you are confused; second guess yourself, then don’t say it. You're not obligated to say, "I love you,", state that you are " in love" or feeling "love" everytime you date someone. Realize that you are not in love everytime someone makes you laugh or smile, who’re fun to be around with, etc.

  • selene

    It can, certainly, but as history repeats itself..no. Most teen relationships do not last. It's all experimentation really.

  • Sumit Ojha

    My answer is No...
    But, in some case it's YES
