Q: Male/17
Hey, I’m usually the one giving advice. I don’t need advice. I just have a question and I want to know your opinion. This question is for deep thinkers. Long answers are encouraged as well as comical ones.

I’ve seen quite a lot of “love” questions, asked by adolescences. What would you call "true love"? Many people have been saying “I have a boyfriend and I REALY love him” and “she said that he loves me” or things like that. I’ve seen these questions being asked by 13 year olds! Teens DO have deep affections for people, but I really don’t think that they are capable of TRUE love. How can there be love if teen relationships only last 2 months or even 2 years! 2 years is quite long for a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but shouldn’t love last a LIFETIME? I agree that teens think that they are in love (I’ve been there) but I wouldn’t call that love. I would call it more like, “deep affection”. After all, if love between teens is really “love” then they shouldn’t break up, right? I think that teens are too young and “unexposed” to have TRUE LOVE. Even adults. They mistakenly call their relationships “love”. If it was actually love, then shouldn’t there be less or no divorces?
The reason there are divorces is because 1, people think a divorce will solve all their probelms, and 2, they are way too easy to get and not looked down upon as much anymore.

I think true love can exist between 2 teenagers. But the thing is, I think it can only exist between 2 mature, responsible teenagers. I can homestly say that I am one of those teenagers, and I have the same boyfriend for 2 years.
There was only one time when we broke up and that was because we were both scared since being in love at such a young age, and din't understand where the relatinship was going. We took time apart, and reevaluated our lives, but the feelings didn't fade. The love still stood there and our relationship feels just like it was when we first starting going out. We rarely fight because we know eachother so well that we understand why one of us is reacting to eachother or what we've said in such a bad way.

I just wanted to give some insight into the question from a teenager's point of view.

I do agree with you though, 13 is pushing it. When your 13 its called "puppy love." Its where you really really like someone and you probably spend too much time together for your age. I also don't understand why girls in middle school now are walking around pregnant. I used to think that was only a high school thing.

Thanks a lot. I agree. Love can exist in teen life, but they must be responisble. I hope you and your boyfriend stay with each other for the rest of your lives!
