writes:I always see people making comments such as "you're too young, it will never last" and "it won't last forever because you're too young". But I was wondering, is that actually a general belief? Does everyone think that, just because you are in your teens, whether that's 13 or 19, that you can't know what love is, or feel it? That just because you're young, your relationship can't possibly last forever? What are people's views on this and why?I was just wondering because it seems to be a common opinion, and I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 17, and we've been together for over a year and it upsets me when people think we're going to split up any minute just because we're young !!Thanks for any thoughts/opinions!! :) x

Yes you can feel real love at 16.
But since you have nothing to compare it to, then you may think that any little crush / infatuation / bit of lust / is in fact OMG UNDYING LOVE!!!!11
We all thought our first serious boyfriend was THE ONE and when it ended we thought we'd never get over it.
The other thing to remember is that between the ages of 15 and 21 your personality, and taste in just about everything forms and changes as you figure out who you are. The odds of two people changing in exactly the same direction are remote so you may just find you fall out of love as you grow.
I know it's awful to be told it's not real because you are too young, but most of us just know how we felt exactly the same at your age... and then split up and now look back at how immature we were and how what we have as adults is so much better.
Good Luck!! xx

 It's all depending. some couples make it. some don't. Just enjoy the experience. if you make it, congrats. if you don't, it wasn't meant to be. stop guessing wat the future holds and just enjoy what the present has given u! :) it's true that you're young, and there really should be more experiences ahead of you, but if you love each other and it works out - don't ever let anybody tell you you're wrong. but don't think that it's definitely going to make it or that it's definitely going to end, just let the chips fall where they will and know that there is no 'general rule' when it comes to relationships of any sort.
Best of luck,
