Brilliant, no wonder it reminded me of itSeeIn2D said:
But seriously, my Aunt and her husband met when they were 12, and have been together for +40 years!
My mum and dad met in their early twenties but divorced few years ago.
There's no age gap that when crossed, you're in the "Able to be in love, this time for realsies zone"
In my view there's nothing preventing you to be in love as a teen.
It's just that much harder to asses it in truth, as everything you experience then is pretty new anyway.
As I said you and you alone know what you're feeling, though it's good to take those warnings into consideration as well
I'd actually say that yes, young people can be in love. Unfortunately, its the hot, hormonal, passionate kind of love. The kind that doesn't last very long and burns out very quickly. People don't become that infatuated with each other that quickly for nothing, but unfortunately most teenagers can only express themselves physically at that point, which is bad for a relationship. Its also incredibly mushy.
Young love is a thing. Usually a messy, uninformed, inexperienced, doomed-to-inevitable-failure, thing, but a thing indeed.
Definitely. The guitarist of my band and his girlfriend are a good example. Seventeen. Been together two years. Go great together. Care a hell of a lot about each other. And most importantly, they're there for each other.
Both of their houses just burned down. It's been hard on both of them, but them going through the situation together is making it so much easier for them.
Essentially when looking at them you see a perfect example of what a healthy relationship should be. No infatuation. No obsession. Absolute devotion. Absolute caring.

Nah. You need to get screwed over a few times before you truly begin to comprehend what love is.
I think yes. Problem is, it's always the FIRST love, and we don't know what the hell we're doing. Things go wrong, you screw it up, stuff you're not prepared for, and in the end you don't have the knowledge or experience to deal with it.
It's as legitimate as any other sort of 'love', it's just that it's not as often successful.

I know from my own experience that I thought when I was seventeen that I could never be more in love. Yet I am constantly being proved wrong. Now I am looking back and laughing at how silly my idea of love was back then. Who knows, I may do the same thing in another few years time.
