Poopingman Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I believe Striker may just be wording it the wrong way. Simply put, most teens are too immature to experience/understand love. Not to say theres any solid, well-worn age limit in which it becomes possible. I would assume it varies from person to person, but sits at or around 20 or up. Well that's obvious. Most teens are too immature and ignorant to understand a wide variety of things. But that doesn't give people the right to say "teens can never be in love." Well thats the thing, its not impossible. Its just highly unlikely, big difference. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 words. I have a question for you. Do you think ALL persons under the age of 18 are unable to experience 'true love'? That's the key issue here; if you meant your earlier statements as general and only indicative of the greater percentage of teenagers - then I have no problem with you. If you actually hold the view that all persons under 18 cannot experience 'true love' whatsoever, then I would have to reiterate the fundamental problem I have with this perspective as demarcated in my post a page ago.

TotalTalker Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 There is no age limit to love. But I find it very disturbing and annoying when young good looking women are with old men who are like millionnaires, or even billionnaires, and they say they "love them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysp Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 im in highschool and everyone tells me im too young for love still, and im going to be a senior, it pisses me off because ive been in love, i know how wonderful it feels to fall asleep everynight knowing there is someone out there who cares for you as much as you care for them, and i know how bad it feels when you get your heart broken, but everyone i know who is an adult says im too young. its annoying and stupid.

Guest Kickpointy Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Its not prejudice, 11 year olds are not in LOVE. Not in the real sense that you get when you are older. I dont think there is a majical age where all of a sudden someoen is capable but 9 times out of 10 the average young teen is not as mature as they think they are.I'm 14 and my longest realationship was from 3rd grade to 7th grade. If she wouldn't have move we would still be dating. So no, I think it isnt stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlanders Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I look at teenage couples, and their "relationships" seem based on superficial feelings, nothing deep or intense. I wouldn't even call those things crushes, heh don't even mention love, there's no passion or desire or any feelings, they just hang out in public places like a bunch of idiots. They just seem to enjoy the attention, or the social status 'having a bf/gf' gives. I'm not saying everyone is like that, but 95% of teenage couples are. Age limit? No. But teenage relationships are for most superficial. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warri0r45 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Well there are exceptions to everything, however I don't believe this thread has proved this testament and I also have never met any teenager that I believe is in love. So it's all up to you to decide what constitutes love? Just like you said, striker, there are exceptions to everything. There seem to be quite a few of these exeptions attesting to your incorrect belief that people under 18 can't love. Am I getting this right? Do you really believe that 18 is the magical age at which love automatically becomes possible? Or is that just what you want? Is that just the criteria that you use to judge if people are in love?

____ Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 People mature at different rates depending entirely on what happens during their life. 18 is just some superficial age at which some person - some time ago - said this is when we pretend it makes a difference.

You see, that was the only issue I had with your comment, the drawing of a distinct line where people can or can't know or have love.

Sumpta Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Haha, Striker does it again. Single-handedly he takes on the hoards of angry OT'ers. Strangely enough, I'm on his side in this argument. I have severe reservations with the claims of all who so vehemently vow they know what love is. How come I don't hear anybody say: "Haven't the foggiest, but I hope I'll know when I die."

I have severe reservations with the claims of all who so vehemently vow they know what love is. How come I don't hear anybody say: "Haven't the foggiest, but I hope I'll know when I die." Sumpta - define love. I'm not saying for one minute teenagers have the capacity to love each other like a middle-aged couple can - they're still developing emotionally. But as a teenager, I still have the capacity to feel emotionally attached to someone else and to want to spend time with them and to also like them in a more caring way over a sexual desire to be with them. In these years, I'm defining who I am, and that involves working out who I feel emotionally attached to, and who I want to share my life with in a more long-term relationship. Basically, what I'm saying is that the term "love" varies on what age you are. At 17, I believe that I love the person I do care for the most I can - for me that is love. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumpta Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Sumpta - define love. I couldn't. I think I have loved, yes, more than once, actually, but it's just different every time. Classical true love, I doubt if it exists. Basically, what I'm saying is that the term "love" varies on what age you are. At 17, I believe that I love the person I do care for the most I can - for me that is love. Fair enough. This I can follow and believe. It implies that there is not one love, or one way of loving. It's this realisation that I was talking about, this is one of the things that makes a person mature, I think... Knowing not to have all the answers. Welcome to the club we've got T-Shirts. Don't push it. I have a good memory, I haven't forgiven you yet for insulting me :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
