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?

So I've read a heck of a lot of these comments here, and they are all from the views of older people.
I would like to contribute, from the point of view of someone in highschool.
I am a freshman. Fifteen years old. My boyfriend and I have been going out for 4 months. We fight ALOT. Everyday. Multiple times even. Have we ever given up? No. We've been through some pretty bad times, with him sitting on the street, hat over his face, sobbing. That was a really bad fight, and he sat down and cried after looking in his pocket and finding a note I had secretly put in his pocket earliar that said "You're awesome.". We do love each other. We want to be together, forever. We know that's hard. We know it'll take effort. But we're up to it. I know I'm a total bitch to him sometimes, but we can make it I beleive.
So yeah. I beleive in teen love.
We don't have to know what anger is in order to feel it, it's something that's required in the human body the day we are born, some people don't feel as angry as often as others and some people even have to have counseling to control their anger, Isn't love the same thing then. Doesn't every child love their mother and father? Why can't teenagers love one another. Honestly I've never experienced true love, but because some teens are more willing to take more chances on love than others, adults frown upon it.
Telling a teen that "we don't know what love is", is like telling us that we don't know what anger is. We've been on this earth long enough to know that we love our family, why do we not have the right to say that we love someone other than family?
