Hormones or what, please?

Question

Okay, People always say that teens don't know what love is, that it is just raging hormones. If this is true, why do teens feel love, errr excuse me, raging hormones for just one person, not every person we see. This is a serious question. I would like opinions, or even facts of some sort, if possible :)

thank you!

Answer 1

i think most do feel love... i felt hormones, s*x, masturbation, s*x... all i thought about. but i did/ do want to feel luvd.... *ewwww* :>

Answer 2

i think that its about someone elses emotions toward you. thats why a teen likes them, because they "understand" them. where as a grown adult wants to go steady and go above and beyond as the relationship progresses. but a teen CAN be in love, its just not always serious. hope i helped, good luck! :)

Answer 3

Did you know that only 1 out of every 1000 high school sweethearts end up in life long marriages? I'm willing to bet you didn't...

Anyway, as a teenager myself, I can definitely see where you're going with this. The thing is that I think that teenage "love" can be a little bit of hormones mixed with infatuation mixed with lust mixed with the same feelings people of any age group feel- the real thing itself.

You see, I've been dating this guy name "Thomas" for over a year now. We're extremely close, have done things others, especially elders, wouldn't approve of, and are lost in this thing we call "true love". Is it really true? Who knows.

Then again, does anyone really know the meaning of true love? Is it the love for a child? Is it something you just know? Is it something you feel? Is it something you see? Once you can answer all these questions, and have have them all right, I guess you will know the answer to your own question. I can admit that I don't, but then again, what good is knowing all the secrets of life?

Have a nice day.

Answer 4

Usually, its neither.

Its an infatuation, which has a lot of the same beginnings as love.  But actual love is a relationship that has developed past the infatuation phase (intense physical attraction, a somewhat obsession with the other person).  

What adults are reffering to as love, to be completely honest, isn't very common in teenagers.  It is possible, though.

My boyfriend in 8th grade- I knew I wasn't in love.

The guy I was with from freshman year through sophomore year, I thought I was.

But afterwards I realized that I wasn't

The guy that I'm with now, I am definitely in love with. I feel unlike I ever have before. He is my best friend, and while I enjoy being with him, He also makes me want to be a better person, so I've begun top spend more time with my family and doing things I love.  We each support each other in our separate endeavors.  We also don't have s*x, because I don't want to disrespect myself or him by giving into my teenage horniness. But its not like there isn't passion.   I'm still crazy about him after a year and a half.

Its just really different, and actual love takes time to develop

Answer 5

You'll understand when you're older.

Answer 6

I think some teens actually do feel love for someone, once your over the age of 15 I truly think it's possible to fall in love with someone who you've been with for at least 6 months but, when a teen has been going with another teen for not even a full day and they are already saying "I love you", that's not real love.

Answer 7

because we are young and our hormones r out of wack and we don't know how to control them (most teens don't)
