No necessarily... a lot of high school relationships work after high school. And the couples that wait until they're married to have sex that begin dating in highschool aren't basing their relationships on 'lust', they're basing it on love, trust and a variety of other things. Though, most of the two week relationships are completely lust. But after a long period of time, who's to say they aren't in love?

i know this wasnt at me, but, youre right. the majority arnt "love", but i do know a married couple who dated since high school and i know a engaged couple who did, too. and yeah, usually if you arnt hooking up, there is more than just lust.

A few of my friends have been in relationships for years. My boyfriend and I have been together for six months, too. And even though I don't think we really love each other yet, our relationship definitely isn't based on lust, since we've known each other for years prior to our relationship. A lot of people follow the lust stereotype and give teenagers a bad name, but a lot of teenagers don't. Just my opinions. :)

I completely agree. A lot of people just assume that because you're a teenager it's just lust, but A LOT of relationships in high school actually last through college/university and get married. I know several couples that have done that, and have been happily married for 30+ years. So, was it lust for them? I don't think so.

That's the exact thing that came into my head after I read this.

Maybe that's your opinion but I'm eighteen and I sincerely love my husband. And I'm serious when i say that if we can never have sex again, I would still be in love with him.

Yeah, I'm 14, and I know there is no way I'm going to fall in love this early into my life. I thought I was in love last year, but I gained some common sense and realized it was just a crush. I still like him, though. =)

I'm 13, and do agree that everything I have felt in the past has not been love. It's simply infatuation. I don't know if I'm ready for love, actually!

Im about to start high school. I feel hormones are starting to work. I can't stop thinking about girls.

No, not all. Love is like a best friend and you'd do anything for them, you always want to be together, and it's sincere. I'm appalled that you place 11 and 14 year olds in the same category. If anything, it's the people in their 20's that are full of lust. For them everything is about sex.

But theres a difference between teenage sex and adult sex.

I know it's not love, but he makes me feel special, and I like being with him. He's mad nice and I hope we start to date after a while. I'm just happy to have a simple crush on him :)

I'm 14, going on 15. Everything I've felt in the past has been lust, but this time, it's real. I love him.

I do think that most times it is infatuation, but I do believe in young love.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Thanks for writing this. So have to link this the next time this shallow, snobby rich girl I know complains on gmail about being in love'. I do beleive it is possible to be in love at those ages, but most people are WAY to immature to even know what love means.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

What I think is that love is possible for anyone, any age. But some people try to grow up too fast, and don't wait for love. they just believe it's what they feel.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I do not think people should judge young love. You don't know how they feel, you aren't them. I am thirteen years old, and I can actually say that I am in love. Hate all you want.

Soooo, say I was 15...is it love?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's possible but still not likely.

That isnt very long.

It's over a quarter of their lives, so is is a pretty long time for them.

That still does not make it a long time.

Love starts out as an infatuation. Until you really get to know your partner and begin to finally realize that this is the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. Therefore no one at any age can determine whether they love someone. Love doesn't have a certain age to begin and most definetly a certain age to end.
