Why do people think Young people could be in love?

Question

So this isn't nothing personal. But why do people say that 13-14 year olds cant be in love? So they are young but you have no idea what they are feeling. Or like i was reading a question about a 12 year old whos in love. why did most people say, "Your to young, you dont know what Love is." Why?

Answer 1

i know it is tru that 12-14 should not love because they may end up messing up their priority and the may  miss use their feelings

Answer 2

ok i'm going to give you my experience on why i think even 22 year olds may not be in love. i'm only 18. and when i was 14-15 i told almost every boyfriend i loved them. it seemed like i did but i only really liked any of them. well last year i met a guy and after a few months i thought i loved him. but i didn't and he broke me heart. well now i'm with an amazing guy who i love soo much. and the reason i think anyone who hasn't experienced a loss can't really love someone as deeply as someone who has lost someone. also at 13-14 you haven't lived with a significant other, you haven't experienced what life would be like with them, their bad habits, anything like that. so i'm not really about your too young to know love, i'm more of a "you can't love someone in a couple weeks" kind-of thinker.

Answer 3

If they knew the other party a long time, even without dating, yes, it's possible they love them.  But most of the time they've been dating a week,"knew each other" for a month, etc.  That's not love.  It can grow into love if given time, but right now it's a p*****n crush.

Answer 4

I don't know. Adults forget what it feels like it's called young love not puppy love.

Oh, and my brother married the girl that he met while they were 14 and no one said they was in love... and look there 18 and married.

Answer 5

I dont know

because we are young?

people think the same thing about s*x

why do parents always think you know nothing about s*x?

my mom geyts mad when i laugh at a joke on tv if it involves s*x

she says "What are you laughing at? You shouldn't know why that is funny"

im 13, not stupid

i know for a fact that young ppl can be in love

XOXO

Answer 6

people judge others by their experiences and what they have seen and most of us have seen teens madly in love one week only to hate each other the next... maybe it's not fair to the young couple, but odds are against the relationship lasting very long

Answer 7

For most younger people it's more of an infatuation or a puppy love, not REAL love. I thought I was in love when I had my first "boyfriend", if you can call him that, in 8th grade. What a joke that was. I didn't truly fall in love until I met my husband. We started dating at 18 and were married at 19.

I think a lot of it has to do with maturity. Most teenagers, especially younger ones, are not very mature.

Answer 8

I'm 17 and very much in love. I think it's unlikely for anyone younger than 15 to be in love, but it all depends on the person. I think some people are so immature that they couldn't be in love till their 20's, easily.

Answer 9

Because 99.9% of them aren't and usually end up making stupid decisions because they think they're in love. I guess it's possible, but very very rare.

Answer 10

I don't know.Maybe because they are stupid and ignorant.It doesn't matter how old u are u can still be in love.They don't know what love is if they say that,or they have never felt it themselves.Allot of kids that I know are in love and they love eachother forever and ever to come.My mom and my dad met eachother and started going out with eachother at the age of only 13!They broke up and had a few fights,sure,but that don't mean they didn't love eachother,they are now at the age of 58 and 56 and they love eachother so so much.You may not find ur one true love at the age so young,but that doesn't mean that  u don't know what love is.I think that a little little kid can change the world,just like a person can never be to young to love!Its stupid the way ppl think like this.I am now 23 years old and I'm so deaply in love.I have a 7 year old daughter(yes with my husband)and I am pregnant with #2 on the way.We fell in love at the age of 15...and it stayed from there...we love each other...were we to young to know what love is?NO!Didn't think so...ppl are just iggnorant losers,we all know it,they know,and so do we.But b4 I go,one thing that really gets on my nerves is that when ppl say "Age doesn't matter" well aren't they refering to being in love?ya they are,and yet they still go around saying "Age Doesn't Matter!" and at the same time saying "Your to young to be in love?" come on now,don't u see something wrong with that there?Ya,me 2!

Answer 11

ok trust me, im 99 percent sure than teens under the age of 18 cant be truely in love. im not saying that everyone thinks theyre in love but theyre not, but ive never been in real true love even when i thought so cuz im a teen. but u can be in puppy love. it could also be lust. but when you say to ur bf, i love you, yeah u do love them, but u love them in a puppy love or lust kinda way.

Answer 12

When you are older you too will make the comment to your child that they don't know what love is. Because by then you will have experienced a deeper love. My daughter would tell a guy that she loves him and then a week later she would "love" someone else. My son told a girl he loved her and I asked why and he said that it was just an expression, it didn't mean anything. When he met his current girfriend I asked him if it is still just an expression and he so no it is real this time. He is 19. Young Love is great because you go into it without walls, when you are older it takes longer for the love to get through because by then you have been hurt.  You will not remember the ones that you said I love you to when it was just words, and when you find your first "Real Love" you will know it and you will always remember it. When it is over it will hurt like nothing you have ever in your life felt. At that point you will know that you were never really in love before. I am 37 and I have no idea what the boys name is I first told I love you, but I remember when I was 16 and I met my first real love. I saw him a few years ago and part of me will always love him.

I have gone on and on but you have to understand that adults have been through many things in life and they know what they are talking about. We just tend to forget that we were once a teenager in "love" and had some old person tell us that it wasn't real. It is a vicious cycle that you too will take.

Stay young.

Answer 13

They say it because they are older and can remember back to that time. They feel different things that they didn't back then. Or rather, feel in a different way.

When you get older you love people for reasons beyond he's sweet and he's funny. You will love them for ways only an adult can understand because only adults deal with them. Like selfsacrifice, commitment, fullfillment, and more.

I believe that people of all ages can feel love. Its just a different kind of love. And some people forget what it is like to be a teenager and feel every emotion so deeply its almost painful. Yes, even love.

Answer 14

my cousin married her boyfriend after meeting at the age of 14 or 15

they married at 18 and are still together in their late 20's

teenagers can fall in love its just not normal

Answer 15

YOUNG PEOPLE CAN BE IN LOVE!!! EVERYONE CAN HAVE LOVE

Answer 16

Because they're older and they're probrably married. That's their definition of love. As the generations change, love gets a different meaning. And most teen couples tend to break up~

Answer 17

i think they think that because they dont have enough experience

i also agree that most younger kids that age dont have much experience

but i think that it is possible to be in love at a young age

its just alot harder because love is a complicated thing that involves more than just really liking someone

its about spending a life together

and i guess some ppl would wonder why a 13 year would want to "settle" down so soon

idk thats just my thoughts on it

Answer 18

come on its not love you just like someone you dont know anything its not the same when your really in love worry about school you probably like someone thats it

Answer 19

People make LOVE out to be something so strict and serious. It's the simplest thing. It's as natural as breathing. Anyone can be in love. I was in love at the age of 7. Love... it's not really a big deal. It's simple.

Answer 20

because your still going through purberty.  most people dont finish until they are 18 or 20 years of age. all you are feeling is LUST and wanting you be loved soo you trick you mind to thinking  your in love. like those people who see a illness on tv and convince themsleves they have it. and they have all the symptoms....

Answer 21

Simply because it's a medical fact that their brains are far from fully developed.  And invariably, parents know from experience that "love" at 13-14 rarely lasts.  So the odds are it isn't love in the sense that adults experience it.

Kids have never been adults, but all adults have been kids.

Answer 22

you can be in love at any age, don't you love your mother at ages 1-whatever. if you 12 years old can't be in love then how do they love their parents.

Answer 23

Well, I don't dismiss the fact that younger teens can have strong affections for each other...it's just TRUE, I remember being that age, and the feelings I had at the time. But these kids haven't been around for that long and they don't know what love is because they haven't been in love before...they just THINK that telling someone a secret and holding their hand at the movies is love. It ISN'T. It's a REAL relationship, and maybe a real KIND of love, but it isn't the same love adults have. I remember it being much more like strong friendship, and fascination.
