+416 It's actually kind of annoying that older people think that kids in middle or early high school can't have a real relationship with someone. Even though we're young, it doesn't mean we can't have real feelings, amirite?

Yes and no.

You may have seen one of my posts about this actually-- I kind of agree with OP, but the problem is most middle schoolers keep mistaking minor things for love. I don't doubt there's a wise one out there who has an idea of what is and isn't, but for the majority....

@677515: Exactly. I have no problem believing that true love can exist in high school. I myself fell in love my senior year in high school, I am now a sophomore in college and we are still together, after more than two years. So I do believe that high school students can experience love, but that it is a rarity.

Premature and irrational feelings. There's a reason why you kids won't be considered adults until you're 18.

The problem is... if it happens instantly, that's not love. That's another 4-letter "L" word. So when you run around talking about being "in love" with a different person every month, it's hard to take you seriously.

I think it's possible, but it's rare. And I think that 99% of the people who say they're "in love" in middle or high school have no clue what they're talking about. But it definitely is possible to seriously like somebody and have a real relationship when you're young. It just doesn't mean you're in love. And all the people who say they're in love after the first day ruin it for everybody else who are smart enough to know that they're not really in love yet.

You can say you're in a relationship with someone when you truly love them and been together for a while, however, If you get a new boyfriend every week, then dump him, that's not a real relationship.

Most teenagers don't know what true love is, it's more like overly dramatic obsessions. just saying

It's kinda true though. Especially with this generation. What you have is infatuation.

Im 13 and I admit of once thinking I was in 'love.' But I wasn't, and teenagers aren't mature enough to 'love,' because we all have about 15 crushes and we haven't even experienced the real world to know what it feels like to love something.

My parents started dating in 9th grade! They are still together after like 30 years and have an awesome relationship! But for most kids in that age group that will never happen.

I was talking to this 15-year-old that I barely know today & he told me he & his gf have been together for 4 years & have been have sex for more than 2 years. My only response was woah & ew.

i'm a middle schooler, but to be honest, i kinda agree with not understanding love in middle school. it's everywhere here in my school. i guess some people re just trying to grow up to fast, and have no patience of waiting until your old enough to understand this stuff. not me of course, i don't really care for love right now.

We release endorphans as teens that create hormones that create disfunctional thoughts and feelings, only very talented and self controlling people can control these emotions.

It really depends on the relationship and the individuals involved. Like, I know this one couple who started dating in 10th grade, got engaged after their graduation, went to colleges close to each other, and ended up married. Then again, I know another couple who's in my grade (12th), who started dating, told each other, "I love you" EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY, then just broke up one morning. How can you say I love you, then break up like it never happened? That's not love.

It all depends on the people. I don't know if you can have as strong feelings towards people when you're younger, but maybe I'm wrong. I guess it all depends...but I know a lot of girls like to say that they're "like, soooo in luv wit their BFssss!!!" when you know that in a weeks time--at the most!--they'll just break up. It's just...really weird. I think a lot of it is that teens want to be in a relationship just so they can they are IN one; no matter WHO they're in one WITH. Does that make sense?
