Well it really depends on the situation. Yes, a lot of times young people think they have found true love etc etc and it does turn out to be puppy love. When you grow out of it you realize that, but at the time it seems so real. I don't think that feeling changes, everything else does. I don't think it's different degrees of love (in most cases), it's everything else that we learn about with every heartbreak. As you get older and experience more, you learn about your expectations, about how people change, about weaknesses in people, about the real things that keep people together because it takes more than just firey pa__sionate love. There are girls on here who's "puppy love" turned out to be the real thing and that mainly had to do with the other person, with the fact that the girls were very mature for their age and understood at some point the real stuff it takes to make things last beyond that honeymoon love. And Tess if you're reading this, pray I get a love like you and the hubby's! Send some of that loving vibe to me!! Hell, I think I deserve it!!!!

i believe a teenager can know when they've found their love. my hubby was a teen (late teen, but teen nonetheless) when we met and he told me he knew he was going to marry me someday. and we didn't ever have the luxury of lust to fool us. as a lot of these ladies know he and i met online (video game, not dating service). when you're online, you have to bond emotionally and that is the hardest part of a relationship and most people are blinded by the lust in a relationship. well, we've been married 3 years, 8 months now, so yep i believe a young'in can find and know true love. love doesn't have an age limit.

I think so. I've known my husband for 7 yrs... we started dating really really young. And I am married to him and I love him to death. I think it is different for everyone else though. I also think it takes a little while to realize that you have what you have. Just my personal view. You can be very much in love, and you can be for that one person, but don't get your hopes up that it will last forever, just HOPE it will. Just keep your faith in your relationship! Oh and V, lol thank you... but man, there have been a lot of ups and downs, but in the end it's so so worth it.

It depends. The majority of teenagers have had some point at one time or another when they thought they were completely head over heels in love, when they actually weren't. Most adults believe that it's puppy love because teenagers are growing and changing so much they feel it is impossible for them to continue growing and changing while holding that attraction to each other. However, I feel it is just as likely for them to grow closer as grow farther apart. There are a lot of people in the world, it seems so difficult to find your perfect match with such little time spent alive in general... difficult, but far from impossible.

While i think sometimes teenage love is "puppy love" I think there are many cases that it is real, true, and genuine love. My parents met as teenagers and over 40 years later are still together and still in love. When i was 16 i met a guy that i was genuninely in love with. We were together for 5 years and in the end it didn't work out but even now at the age of 27 i look back and i don't view it as "puppy love", it was real. We just grew apart and the more i grew and matured i understood myself better and realized what was important to me. Now i am with my husband, we have been together for 6 years and married for 3. And believe it or not i'm glad i was with my previous bf for 5 years, i think it shaped who i am today and gave me a different perspective on life and made my relationship with my dh possible.

Well i am 16 and i have a boyfriend who i have been wit for 1 year and 7 months. We love each other. We have been through a lot together and we know that we love each other and want to be wit each other. So of course i believe that teens can fall in love wit someone for real.

Im 24 now just to give you that info- Matt and I started "seeing eachother/dating" 6 months after we started hanging out and becoming really good friends- the attraction just came i guess. We have now been friends for 9 years exactly, been Dating for 8.5 years and married for 5 years! We have 2 kids, 4 and 1.... We have been through everything together and i couldnt immagine it any other way. When i think of us as teens we were inseperable and so totally in love! We still are but i suppose things change as you get older and actually get to SEE the person you love WHENEVER YOU WANT! I have to say I am sceptical of younger people who say or think they are in love and this is "the one" ... but i guess you really just never know how it will go. Cant hurt to try, but it cant hurt to wait before getting settled down either!

i think teenagers can find true love with somebody they want to spend their lifes with. my mom started datin my dad when she was 16 and they are still together! and their not the only couple i seen thats done that, but if you really want to be with the person for the rest of your life you got to be mature about it and not have a childish relationship..or itll go nowere..but yep i thank its very possible
