writes:How come teenagers are not allowed to fall in love? I am 14 and have been in love with this one guy, we went out for over 2 years but unfortunatly he moved to the USA because of his dad's business and I did love him a lot, but even though we went out for over 2 years no adults believed me when I said I love him. I have read many pages and problems on here from people older than me and they fall in love then get their heart broken, which apparently only happens to teenagers. Maybe sometimes a 14 year old can know more about love than a 34 year old woman. Love can come at any point in your life, just because we are young doesn't mean we do not have feelings.

 It's fear. They don't want you to fall in love. Most parents hope their children don't make the same mistakes they made, so they cover them as if they don't exist, ignoring that their still possiable.
The truth is, when guys and girls break up when young, even if they call it love or not. The guy moves on to the next, many times just playing the game. When the young girl, maturing faster than a male, receives real, authentic, adult size pain with the separation.
I'm sure we've all noticed how many younger females are asking questions about the older guy. It's not that their trying to break rules or laws, they're attracted to people who are at their "relationship" ability level.

The definition of love grows as you grow older, and is different from person to person. Im 16 now and have been going out with my boyfriend(15) for 2 years, hes my best friend and i dont know anyone better than him, if thats not love than what is? :)

 I think that adults assume teens can't be in love is because of their age. Age is typically associated with a certain level of experience, and we teens haven't experienced that much of life. Like most rules, there are exceptions, so there are teens in love. Love can be felt and expressed in many different ways, so it doesn't have to be just mature, "adult" love.

 i agree with lazyguy here
most adults wont believe kids are in love because one week they really love one guy/gal, a few months later its someone else, and they hate the last guy/gal
Also as adults most have been there, been "in love", thought they could marry this guy/gal and spend the rest of their lives together and later relised it was stupid and they were childish, ive been there.
Yes maybe love has no age limit but i dont think kids as young as 14 now enough and have been around long enough to sperate love and infacuation.
Also come on the website and see how many teen girls are "in love" with their teachers, ask them 5 years from now did they love them, i doubt anyway will say yes

reader, anonymous, writes (23 March 2008): I think that love can happen at any age . I'm 15 and I know I am deeply in love with my boyfriend so I think that if you know that you are in love and the other person loves you then why does any body elses opinion matter ? If you know in your heart it's right then nobody else should tell you otherwise. I also think it's horrible how older people tell us "oh your not in love " "it's just puppy love" "your too young " and other stuff like that. Just because when they were our age they never felt anything like this doesn't mean we can't! I think you should follow what your heart is telling you and ignore the world. LOVE doesn't have an age limit I hope this helped in some way ! :)

 Because the adults have gone through being a kid, you haven't been an adult yet.
We adults simply seen to many 14 yr old girls say they have met true love and then the relationship ends and a week later they are claiming the next guy is true love.
This makes us jaded. Offcourse, it is possibly that for you two it was true love, well proof them all wrong. It won't be long until you are an adult and can make your own choices including you two meeting up.
But for now the adults see a teen girl like they seen countless time claiming she knows it all better and that at 14 she is more mature then people two times her age. That doesn't exactly signal maturity.
If you wanted to be treated as an adult, act like one. 4 years, is that so big a sacrifice for love?

If you feel love then it doesn't matter what age you are. (no underage sex though!)
But at this age, your still not an individual, you are part of your parents family until you are 18 and the same with your boyfriend.
Just because he moved away doesn't mean you can't stay in contact and together. If your still serious about this when your going on 18 then you get to choose where you live!
I did'nt meet the man of my dreams at 14, I do know people who did meet their current parter at 14 and they are in their 50's, still happily married, now with 5 children.
Anything is possible if you both believe it!

You are like my long lost twin sister, I constantly try to stress this point to my parents however, regardless of my efforts they continue to deny the fact. I think that it is unfair, immoral and closed minded for society to make such a ridiculous assumption yet, these assumptions continue to exist! Anyone of any age, size, gender, origin or even mental state can experience emotion. It is up to that person to decide how they feel and no one else has the right to tell them that they are wrong. However, I do agree that underage sex is wrong!! :)

 I completely agree with you. I have been in love with a girl for about 18 months, and whatever people say, IT IS LOVE. I think that most adults just think that 14 is too young for "love" because they think that we are not mature enough to have that strong feelings for people. frankly, it pisses me off.

Apparently if you're young, you have no experience, have felt no emmotion but happiness, and have no worthwhile contribution to make. It's crazy! But I really agree with you, although I must admit, sometimes when I hear kids aged 12 saying that they fell in love and had sex, thats a bit extreme and I'm not fully convinced it was love..

 Hey man, I know what you're saying. I'm 24 now but I had my first long term relationship when I was 15 (for about 4 years). To this day I still think it was one of my more mature long-term relationships years later. I know that sometimes people look at your age more than your situation. My heart goes out to you and I agree completely.
