12 year olds say I love you..?

Question

My friends have "boyfriends," and they say they love each other, and I don't think that's very.. I don't know how to put it...

When you were 12, did you have "boyfriends" and "girlfriends..?"

Answer 1

yeah i did .. maybe they are going threw puppie love  

Answer 2

People fail to remember that love is just a matter of opinion.

Its a comparison of what you feel now, to what you have felt before.

If you feel that you like the person you are with now more than anyone else you've ever been with. Than this is your measurement of love.

So yes....I do imagine a 12 year old can feel a "love" for their partner. The difference is at 12 you haven't been in many relationships and haven't dealt with the hardships you will have in say, 10 years. So when you are 22, you will have a much heavier measurement of love.

Answer 3

i think most people had "boyfriends and girlfriends" back then, but it was mostly just the 2 week flings of sitting by each other in classes. so it's really doubtful that at that age you can really be REAL boyfriends/girlfriends, and especially able to truthfully say they love each other.

Answer 4

I know this question? I'm 12 too and my best friend is dating a 15 year old and they both say they love each other. When they say "I Love You" Maybe they mean that they both like each other very much , but they're both too young to say I love you.

They don't probably know the real meaning of i love you. Yah so teens say they love each they just mean they like being with each other.

Answer 5

When your twelve you think you are in love but you really arent. Its normal to have girlfirends and boyfriends but really it means nothing and it is nothing serious. When you are twelve years old you are still trying to find out who you are as a person, not figure out other people along the way. Its a crush or an infatuation what your feeling because your love the guy that says one flirty thing to you in class or someone who pushes you on the swing. Love is about friendship and knowing everything about a person and loving them anyway. Normally you dont find love in middle school and more in highschool but still most of its not true! Just play the field and have boyfriend and girlfriends but dont commit and just have fun. Its so much less drama if everyones just friends!  

Answer 6

While yes you can have a bf or gf at 12. I dont really think that anyone is mature enough at that young of age to fully understand what "love" is.

Answer 7

Most of the time children misinterpret 'love'. When i was 12, i did hear my friends saying, 'that girl looks good, I am in love!'. This line shows its just attractiveness to the other s*x, that makes them utter the 'love' word. Love is too advanced for a 12 year old.

Lets say, you love your mother and father. You have a good relationship where you understand them. When a 12 year old says 'i am in love' he/she just had been attracted by the looks of his/her lover!! The physical attraction is called 'lust' not 'love'. So don't be worried, your friends just find their 'loves' attractive, without understanding their feelings....

Answer 8

its to0 young to have boyfriend when i was 12..

Answer 9

Nope, nobody is capable of "loving" at that age, nor are they at 14.

Answer 10

yeah. but its not real love. and you are right about how young kids throw the word love around
