13/f
people are always saying that at our age, we can't really be in love, or that we're too young to know what love is. like when a couple starts going out, and they put "i love matt" and "i love alyssa" on their myspace, a lot of people say its stupid. ok maybe its not like "true love", the kind where you marry someone... but if you really, really like someone a lot, isnt that sort of a type of love? and what if youve been with someone for a really long time, even though youre only 13? me and my bf have been together for almost 2 years and i think what we have is a lot more than just "liking each other a lot." we've been through a lot together, and we've had problems, but we've always worked them out. we're like best friends and cant stand to be apart. if thats not love, then what is? and if its not, then how old do you have to be to really be in love?

So I'll see if I can help answer your question with them =]
Well, what I think,
is when a couple puts that somewhere, they shoule mean it. When you say I love you, you should really mean it. You shouldn't just say it for show. Nowadays, love is used so freely, nobody knows what it is anymore.
I think you can find love at any age,
but too often young people, like yourself,
lust after it. People say it, but don't neccessarily mean it. I mean, if you've been together 2 years,
even though you're still young, yes, it is more than just 'I like you, you like me'
But that dosen't mean it's true love.
I don't know how you feel inside, maybe it is love. Maybe it isn't.
You could just really have a strong relationship and strong feelings for one another.
But it dosen't mean you have to label it love.
There isn't any defined age at which you fall in love, but I think that 13 is a bit young to be in love for real.
You're still maturing and growing up.
But if this isn't love, as you grow older,
you will fall in love.
And when you do, you'll know =]
I hope this helps!

The reason why people always say "you're too young to be in love!" is because most relationships at your age consist of holding hands while walking around in the hallway. That's not love. Furthermore, a lot of people your age are a bit too immature to be in love.
Basically, if you aren't immature, you're the only one who can know when you're in love. When you feel it, you'll know it. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

When people say your to young to be inlove they just think that because having a developed relationship in our modern society only happens when you grow up. Love is whatever you think it is and whoever you want it to be with. There isn't an age for love, it just happens. I think its when you find that kindrid spirit, that person who makes you complete. Love is whatever you want to make it and everyone has different opinions of it. If you think your inlove with your boyfriend then you are! Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Love is also interpreted in different ways.
You shouldn't let other people judge your relationship, if you feel like it is love, then it probably is, but you also might realize later on in life that it wasn't love.
You really can't tell if it's love until after it's over, later on in life you'll compare it to other relationships and you'll realize whether it was or wasn't love. [ HeyyyEdith's advice column | Ask HeyyyEdith A Question ]
