  1. Teenagers can truely be in love. Love is a complicated thing and you can't choose to be in love. Love finds you. So any time in your life you will fall in love.

  4. Yes, some teenagers can truly be in love. Most teenagers aren't cable of feeling love at such a young age but their are the select few that are mature enough to understand true love.

  5. Teenagers can truly be in love because they are younger versions of adults. They have the same feelings and emotions of an adult and can even be stronger. Anyone one with emotions and a brain can feel true love.

    I think teenagers can truly be in love. You cant choose when and with whom you will fall in love with. Love is complicated and unexpected towards anybody and anyone can fall in love. It doesn't matter how old you are, love exists at all ages.

  9. There is no age to love. You just have to find the right person. some people find it young and some people find love when there older.

  10. Teenagers can be in love because they have the same feelings as other people do.

  11. I think two teenagers can be in love, I mean anythings possible, but I think there is a very slim chance of it being real true love between two people.

  12. Teenagers can be in love as easy as anybody else. There is no age limit on love, nor is there a universal rule that a teenager can't find the person they want to spend their live with.

  13. I think that teenagers can be in love, because you can not control when and where you will meet someone that you love. Teenagers may be to young to get married, but they can still fall in love.

  14. Teenagers can be in love, but they have to be mature individuals. They must base their love on devotion and caring, not lust and peer pressure.

    I don't think teenagers can truly be in love because they haven't been around very long and i think this is why most people wait till they're older to get married. People change through their teenage years and don't find out who they are until they've gone through a lot of life experiences.

    Teens can be in love if they are willing to truly love.Love is willing to lose everything for that person or thing, willing to change, giving grace to that person, and willing to commit to them. This is why teenage love usually doesn't work because teens don't want to give up everything and change for another person. Most teens are selfish and like their lives and don't want someone else to change that.

    I think anyone can be in love. Anyone who had opinions and has feelings can be in love. Anything is possible. My neighbors went to school together their entire lives and now they're married! Love can start at practically any age. Love is a complex thing and you never know when it's going to hit you in the face.

    Teenagers can be in love, but rarely things do work out. Young love can be real, but short. They are still young and inexperienced; don't know the true meaning of love.

  19. Teenagers can be in love. It's something special and can happen to anyone at any age. Some people fall in love as teenagers and can become married later in life. It can happen to anyone at any time.

  20. yes, i believe that teenagers can fall in love. theres no age limit on love just like hate anyone can feel that way about another. love although is a very stong and meaningful feeling, many dont really understand what love is or what to do with it when they have found it. plenty of teenagers date and think they love others but there always breaking up with ones they said they supposevly loved. some people will be together for two weeks and say they love each other but how do they really know they do? only few teenagers i believe truly know what love is, what it feels like and how to use it but most of the kids these days are ignorant and have yet to learn what it's truly like to fall in love with someone, care for them, be able to have fun and be silly with them.you need to learn how to trust each other and have the ability to talk with one another when problems get in the way and be able to stay with each other no matter how big of a fight or arguement you two shall have. when you love some one there happiness is segnificant to your own. I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

  21. I think that sometimes when a teenager says they love someone they don’t relies what they are saying. I think only the ones that truly do love someone can love but i think most times teen love is fake

  22. teens can never be in love because they have awkward hormones and are not developed enough to know who they want to be with for the rest of their life.

    I agree with Luke teens can truly love but they have to be mature enough to love. Teens have to be mature to love because truly loving someone is not just loving their looks but their hearts.

  25. I respectively disagree with Lexi. Sure, teenagers haven't been around for a while, but they are capable of giving and receiving love.
    You made a good point though!! Great job!

  26. isaac i think that teens can be in love but it is very rare that it is true love becaues in high school love is just a status and not real

  27. I agree with Zach that teenagers can be in love and there is no way to control feeling for somebody else. Teenagers are to young to get married at the moment but they can always fall more in love and end up marrying each other a little later then life.

  28. I agree with Callie because she states the exact feelings I have towards love, there is no age limit.

    I disagree with Mitch because not every teenager is the same, some are mature enough to truly be in love.

  29. Teenagers can't ever be in love because there always fighting and can never trust eachother.

  30. I disagree with "ravinous pear" because hormones are scientifically proven to give teens more emotions including love.

  32. Jalin I agree with you because kids do not know what they are saying they just spontaneously saying they love each other.

    Zach I disagree because Teens cannot be in love because they are yo young and do ot know what they are doing.

    I disagree with your statement that teenagers can never be in love because they can! It doesn't matter if you are 16 or 60 love can appear at all ages. You cant help when or whom you will fall in love with.

  34. i dissagree with autumn because teens are not developed enough to reed their emotions and know if their in love

  35. I agree with Bailey because teenagers are young adults they are mature and can love like any person

  36. Lexi612, /Why do you think this?Expeirence is great to be sure about differnt, but sometimes you have to jump in head first. when you first know your your parents, or mabey a new sibling, you love them immedaitly, why can't they same concept be applied here?

    ReplyDelete
  37. I disagree with Lexi because i don't think it really matters what age or how long they've been around to really be in love. Even though people do change during the teenage years but they won't change that much for the most part they will probably have the same personality. Also you can be young and get married if you truly think the person your with is the one.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I disagree with Lexi612 because anyone can be in love if they think they are. I don't think it matters how long you've been around, it just matters if you've met the right person to fall in love with.

  43. i disagree with savannah. teens can not fall in love now a days. to teens all dating is, is a chance to brag about who they are dating. i also think that when you find love, it cant be a short thing. true love lasts forever.

    I disagree with Moriah not anyone can love because when people are younger their love is mainly based on looks. But that is a really amazing story!!

    I disagree with Lexi because I think teens can fall in love but she doesn't.

  48. Lexi,
    I disagree with you because teens can love people whether they are family or friends. Teens may however not be mature enough to choose who they want to spend the rest of their lives with, but they can still love. I think that teens can be more focused on finding someone with good looks than finding someone that they love.

  49. I agree with luke when he says when they are mature enough, teenagers can be in love but some teenagers aren't mature enough and don't really know what love is.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I believe that to truly love someone with all your heart, and if you believe in love enough, true love could be accomplished by anyone of any age group. It doesn't matter if you are a teen or not. Love has no limits. And if love doesn't, nor does true love.

  51. savannah: i disagree with you teenagers can't be in love because they can never trust.

  52. I agree with jrlval2 about how they can be in love but it usually wont happen until they can be more mature.

  53. John, i disagree because when they are young they don't know how love really feels

  54. Teenagers can fall in love. Age doesn't determine the quality of relationships, the people in them do.

  60. i disagree with mrlval2 most teens are not mature. and they cant tell when there first in love because its the first time

    ReplyDelete
  61. It doesn't matter if you are a teen if you love someone. Love isn't based on maturity. It is based on the true feeling that you have with another person. Maturity has no say.

  62. I disagree with Isaac in that some teens can find true love. I agree that for some its just a status, but for others it is the real thing.

  63. I disagree with AlexLY because teenagers aren't just like adults. They are younger and might not have had as many life experiences as an adult would. Also a lot of teenagers change once they are adults.

    I think teens are suited for love as much as adults are, if they truly feel ready to. I've seen it happen before, and it is a truly beautiful occurance.

    I do believe that teenagers can be in love. Just because they are labeled as teens and how that they don't know what love is or what it takes. They can have gone through enough trails to be mentally or emotionally grown up to feel and express and experience begin in love. So yes I do believe they can truly be in love.
