Teenage Love?
Do you believe in love in high school? Could it possibly exist?
No way, kids don't know what true love is... But, how many people do you know that dated in high school that are currently married and happy? I personally know about 4 couples very very well that are now happy after being high school sweethearts. Did they just like each other as teens and grow to love each other? When did the "like" change to "love?" In college? Age 21? 22?23? Or could they possibly have loved each other all along?
How can you put an age on love?
I, personally, believe in teenage love. I truly think it exists. Adults that did not fall in love till they were, in fact, adults, will most likely dismiss it. However, some - like my mother, for instance - do not dismiss teenage love. Do you?

My aunt and uncle dated since 7th grade. They are now married with 3 girls. 16, 14, 13. They are happy as can be and I don't think that will ever change.
My grandma and grandpa were high school sweethearts, she got pregnant when she was 16 and they were married. They had 4 children. And they would still be happily married if he hadn't gotten cancer and died.
My gram, 86, quit highschool when she was 17 to marry my grandad. They are still happily married.
Personally, I believe love can flourish at any age. It depends on how mature a person is.
Teenagers are full of so many hormones (and that's all love is really, a chemical produced by the body) that it's impossible for it not to be love now if it will be later on in life.
A slightly different chemical, or a different love, perhaps
but still love
Teenagers are capable of having emotions. And, after all, love is an emotion. Which would mean that teens would be able to feel it, wouldn't it?
By the way, if anyone would come check out my work, I have some photagraphy published, and I also have written pieces pending, however long that takes.
