  • Yes, I think they can be in love. I also think the way they act on that love should be different than when they are older.
  • Of course they can. They can be in love with shopping, clothes, cars, partying, sneaking a smoke or a beer, their iPods, their cellphones, the bling bling, going to the beach with their girlfriends. They can be in love with a different boy every week, or every day for that matter. Were you thinking long-term relationship kind of love? Um, the answer to that question would be -- no, I don't.
  • Yeah. I'm a teenage girl. I can be in love. I can also realise that sometimes what I *thought* was love, obviously wasn't.
  • why not, do you develop love with age and so called wisdom . ha!
  • I really don't think that teenagers can be in love. In my experience, there's is just too much that each person still has to learn about life and relationships. The person usually blows off friends and fun because they want to spend all their time with that person. I'm so glad I didn't stay with the person I was "in love" with in high school, because of what I know about that person now and I would have never met my current boyfriend who I hope will soon be my fiance. Those are the best years of life, be open to new ideas and experiences and you will be glad you did with no regrets of what you should've done. Never let anyone hold you back.
  • Yes because its a hormonal thing that happens in your brain, it's seems to be stronger as a young person and lessens as you get older and experience the euphoria more often. IN LOVE and Loving someone based on respect and experience are two different things
  • I'm a teenager (19) and have been in love with my boyfriend since I was 15, I know its love, hard to describe, but I just know, you know?
  • sure, why not
  • No, what they think is love is just their hormones in overdrive fueled by uncontrollable emotions.
  • yes.. im a teenager and i think im in love... no body had any right to tell if a person is or can be inlove, if there inlove with someone they just know it within there heart.. like sure they might come acorss other people in life and love them.. but i think its possible to be in love when your mature enough as a teenager in my opinion.
  • very very rarely do i think that happens, and i think for the most part it happens to be an infatuation. still i don't think that any emotion should be seen as less. it's appropriate for a teenage girl to be infatuated [because then when she's older she understands REAL love better, when it's not an infatuation] also i don't think it's for those of us who can tell one way or the other to tell her what she really is, she needs to learn herself on her own.
  • Of course - I have been in love. It is awesome to be in love.
  • It depends on the teenage girl. It wouldn't be accurate to make a general statement about ALL teenage girls. My aunt is still married to her first b/f - they started dating when she was 16. There are teenage girls who think they're in love at the time, and hten grow up and laugh at themselves because they realize how naive they were.
  • According to my observaton almost every teenage girl fall in love and if the things go fine, sometimes that love is for lifetime.
  • well, juliet fell inlove with romeo, didn't she? :P okay, so it probably wasn't all true...
  • I think that you can be in love, but it's different than falling in love when you get older. When you get older you see things differently... you love differently. It's more an all-around "falling in love" mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. I believe that when you're young and you "fall in love" you should never consider getting married. People change a LOT especially through their early 20s.. so it wont be the same person you fell in love with. Sometimes you'll still love them.. but usually not.
  • Im 17 years old and I have been in love before. They say you dont know what love is becuase your young, but really what does age have to do with anything. YOu know weather or not your in love. You have the same feelings weather your 12, 17, 22 and so on. what you have to do is determine if it's lust or love. now thats the tricky part. You know there is some kind of feeling there, just sort it out. so yes teenage girls can be in love..
  • I don't think that they have enough life experience and maturity to know what love is.
  • Of course they can be in love. We learn to love as children, loving our parents, learning from them. And when we start to grow up we love other people. But young people, because of hormones that are new to them and not knowing how to handle them, often get confused between love and lust, not always, but often. And some never do learn to separate the two or think they always have to come together. I know I fell in love as a teen, and even got married at 18. Still love the guy after 35 years of marriage. But we did get to know each other for 4 years before we married. You can't just 'fall in love'. You need to love the right person and work at it, too, both of you.
  • Most of what you hear as a teenager about sex and love is usually either a scare tactic from parents and school officials or somebody else's experience. My advice is don't let others influence your view of love. After all, is there actually a specific definition? Follow your heart. Your intuition.
  • Some of them, sometimes, yes. I've known high school sweethearts who started dating when they were 16 and have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the past few years. There are also a lot of teenagers - of *either* gender - who confuse love and hormones. I always settled the question by asking myself if I wanted to be eating dinner and brushing my teeth with that person when we were 40. The answer was only 'yes' once and it's been four years now.
  • i dont b'live shit 'bout hormonal changes...teenage gurlz are human beings and YES they MUST be able to fall in love ....PERIOD
  • If not then I don't know how I feel about my boyfriend! Maybe i just 'fancy' him. Of course I think they can! They are different to grownups and children in many ways but in this way they are the same.
  • yupppp... love is universal it has no age, race, or gender
  • Yes... Of course they can be in love. As a teenage boy, I remember being in love with a number of girls. (No... Nothing happened... Didn't have a girlfriend until I was 24!), but I KNEW it was love. In fact, MANY of them, I still recall with fondess. My point is that while teen girls CAN be in love, they should wait a while before deciding if they love the guy enough to "go further" with them, or more. Don't get in so much of a rush to "grow up". If you've got a boyfriend, great. If you don't, don't obsess about it... You will. And it will most-likely last longer than your girl-freinds' will. Be a teenager. ENJOY being a teen. ;-)
  • Yes. In fact, teenage girls, and boys, can feel love and the pain of separation more keenly than at any other age. Look at the questions here and you find the most extreme pain expressed over broken relationships, the most excitement expressed over new and blossoming relationships. I honestly believe that teenage sex is probably more exciting and more moving than at any time in a person's life.
  • That's very easy to believe.
  • i think teenage girls want to be able to fall in love.. maybe it depends on how mature they are.
  • The more innocent and unknowing you are, the more genuine the emotions, right? I think love felt by youth is a lot more pure and true in the closest definition we give it then with anybody else whom always have to justify or explain everything based on how they feel. But I don't really know what I'm talking about, I don't remember feeling anything remotely close to love for really anyone in my entire life, and I'm 26. Sad. The closest time is currently, but what I'm feeling now for someone I've been seeing I don't think could exactly be called love. I'm just going on about how teenagers have their hormones and whatever changing and making everything turbulent about their life and how they feel, so scientifically speaking, I believe it's supposed to be true that young girls can fall in true love. If teenage love is nothing but a mutant form of sexual infatuation and want, then I don't see how it's much different for a lot of older people, anyway.
  • Any one can fall in love to any one at any age/ but it depends on nature of that girl? factors like what she is expecting from the lover like sex, care , money , pleasure etc.
  • Anyone can fall in love, at any age, at any time. Teenage girls are more likely to be in love because of their hormones and wild crushes. But now for teenagers, it isnt just 'love' people can rate each other, fancy each other, see each other so really there is more love in the youth than you think!
  • i think for sure teenage girls can be in love. They may not have the experience of being in relationships but that doesnt mean that they feel any less than anyone else. I am 18 and i was in a relationship for 2 years with my boyfriend and i was in love and i know that for sure you just know when you are in love and i knew. But now that we have broken up i realized there is alot to learn about making relationships work but that doesnt stop how i felt for him. So i think they may have alot to learn but it doesnt mean they have to hit a certain age before they are capable of loving someone i think that is silly.
  • yes I do
  • No I don't. They might THINK they'e in love, but it really isn't LOVE. You have to have a certain level of maturity until you can experience the true feeling of love. I've learned from experience-- I believed that I had found my one and only at the age of 14, later on - I was in a world of hurt.
  • I don't think so. They can be in infatuation, but not true love.
  • i think any teenager has a hard time figuring out love but i think once theyve experienced a cpl times what they think is love they can then really figure out what they want and how they feel enough to truly fall in love without it being 'puppy love'
  • yes i beleive you can be in love at any age i was i love for the first and so far only time at 18 i'm now 21.
  • I think they can be in love, but not really know what love is all about. A lot about love is experiencing life, and dealing with different relationships, to finally find your comfort zone, and someone you truly know you will be with for the rest of your life, and as a teen, the person you are with, you're just hoping you're with for the rest of your life. They are still developing, as are you, and you never know where you'll be 5 years from now, much less the rest of your life. It's puppy love, but love non the less, however, I think too many teens try to hard to find love, instead of enjoy their teenage years without the restriction of a serious relationship.
  • depends how mature is this teen girl is how many life lessons they have learned how much she hs gone thrugh to know what true love really is like not the fairy tale kind love hurts sometimes and u have to fight for it in order to finally truly know what it feels like when someone truly says he or she loves u n means it and that it can never be perfect n the first guy u meet that tells u he loves u most likely be the last i think tht they can be in love if they are mature enough to handle disapointment sometimes and old enought to not play games
  • yup because i am now! im 15. having feelings that i'd never had before. =P
  • Yes, there are many different kinds of love. Just because teenage love doesn't last forever doesn't mean it isn't love, it just isn't the same love that say a married couple might have.
  • yes. I fell in love TRUE love at 15. That being said love or not I was StILL too young to get married and have sex or have a baby.. you can be in love BUT as a teen you do not know enough about life or are you mature enough to face certain parts of that "love" and future
  • Im Sure you can.
  • I feel you learn how to love, or how you want to be loved from a special someone throughout your entire life. as a child you learned how to love or how you wanted to be loved from your family. sadly enough in this world sometimes it's not always normal. just remember your whole life (past, present, and what you want for your future) is a learning experience. love life all of it. bottom line is thats when you start learning but not when it stops.
  • Love when your younger is no less real to you then when your older...good parents know this and are there when their heart gets broken...being older we know it heals and many heart breaks are ahead...but what the child feels is real...
  • Yes I do. I think there are different types and stages of love, and an important one is what happens when you're young. You're learning how to love and be loved - that's pure, and genuine, and real.
  • Of course. I think teenage love is more powerful and more about the love then anything else. Usually with teenage love its more emotional, more true. So yeah I think teenage girls [and boys] can be in love.
  • Yes. But how you handle that love and how deep it actually goes I believe depends on the matureity of the teenager.
  • No. They only try to play out what they've learnt in movies and novels.
  • Yes, of course, but love kinda ripens as you mature. What a teenager would call love would be very different from what a 20, 30 or 80 year old would.
  • If they are in their early teens i doubt it as they are not yet mature and think every boy they meet they love but i think if you are a little older and mature enough then yes.
  • Yes But, their love may be like a breakable thread b'cos they r immature.
  • i certainly do
  • You can unless your autistic, but seriously teenage girls can be in love.
  • Yes, and it pisses me off when people say it can't be real because they're "immature". I had a two year relationship starting from when I was 13 or 14 (we split up mutually and peacefully and are still friends), and am currently 17 and living with my boyfriend. If I can have a job, be on the lease for a house, and argue without shouting and slamming doors, I'd say i'm mature enough for a relationship.
  • I'm a teenage girl. And I think I'm very good at falling in love. I just don't have a clue what to do with it.
  • i'm a teenager and YES!!!!!
  • I don't believe so. I am a teenager myself and I know you THINK you are in love but really you most likely aren't. You get the feeling you are but you just really really really like them a lot. You can't really be in love with them because even I don't think us teenagers are really mature enough to really deep down know that true feeling of love yet.
  • if they are with the boyfriend for more than a year and still say they are, then yes, i believe so.
  • No....
  • "Can", yes of course, that goes for a 10 year old too, but it's rarer and rarer the younger people are, because they have less control of their emotions. I've personally been in love for 7 years, and I'm only 17. Now, don't go makin any assumptions based on that; I haven't even talked to her for the 4 last years. 4 and a half in fact.
  • Well, there is a remote possibility that one of them actually falls in love (for real) but she would have to be very mature. Im a 14 year old boy and I think Im very mature in comparison to my friends, and I can tell you that theres not 1 girl in my prom thats actually mature. So yeah, it just happens in probably 1/1000 cases.
  • No,but sometimes,if 'sometimes' they surely give u greatest love in the world,but sometimes they only love appearence(not everyone OK),they have smoothest hearts in the world,if u can realize her heart,she'll really love u! First u should understand what is REAL LOVE!

  • With each other??
  • I think that a person's idea of love evolves as they mature and learn more. I believe that a teenaged girl can believe she is in love, but I also think that as she grows up she will experience deeper love that, when compared to the early love, seems much more genuine. People fall in love based on qualities that are important to them at the time. Teen love simply reflects the values and qualities that are important to a teen. Sometimes it's amusing to the adults in their lives, because we can view love with a clarity that you only get from maturing into adulthood.

  • ofcourse why wouldn't they not be able to
  • I was in a 2 year relationship... from 16 to 18... I was madely in love with this girl, no doubt in my mind that it wasnt true love.
  • of course. im a teenage girl myself. and i can be in love. and my parents have ben together since my mom was 15. so obviously its possible
  • Age is but a number my friend! Yes, they can. However, the teenagers mind hasn't fully matured enough to make that statement, but trust me...they can be.
  • I definitely think you can love someone as a teen, but to be in love with somebody, not likely. You might feel something that you think is being in love, but while I'm not totally closed to the possibility most times it will just be you being confused and getting "love you" and "in love with you" confused.
  • Yes. It can be. But real love between teens is rare. It can happen, but it's rare.
  • of course they can!
  • I don’t think the capacity for Love is in any way related to age. i do think people in their teens who are inexperienced with relationships are quick to believe they have fallen in love.. before properly assessing the relationship
  • I like tiny girls very much. [url= http://www.discountcampertrailers.com.au ">camper trailer [/url]
  • My wife of 44 years was 18, when we met. She qualified as a teenager/adult. she and i knew what we felt for each other. Was it love for her? You betcha. same here.
  • Not likely, but surely more possible than a teenage guy being "in love". People through those words around very easily, while its indeed a powerful Fraze.
  • Yes. Love isn't an age-restrictive thing. It can happen to anyone.
  • I completely think so, although sometimes that love isn't enough or reciprocated.
  • Yes, i do think teenage girls can be in love. Infact, anyone can be in love no matter what age you are. infact, age is just a number to love. So yes, teenage girls can be in love, and so can teenage boys. It is possible and it does happen.
  • I don't think that age is a factor here.
  • why not
  • Maybe the older teenagers, but not the younger. The young girls experience a "teenage" love which is not the same as adult love. Real adult love comes with growing up, with age, with experience, and with many years of experimenting with "teenage" love. Teenage love is like a training wheels - with adult love the training wheels come off!
  • In 1988 I met my now husband when I was 17 years old and we are still together despite all the doubters out there. So yes, it's possible!
  • I think it can better be described as infatutation not love.The same as teenagers are infatuated with their pop idols and go all gooey eyed.
