Love has boundaries, whether limited or not. we all feel pressures from one another on how to act towards our partners,loved ones and families. messing up and feeling doubtful is common.In a world where teenagers have it the "toughest" with changes and growing up. we as adults and younger grownups are taught to pass down knowledge to our children and so on so that they have a better understanding of life and its meanings. But as the teen age world collides with emotions, the word "love" becomes a two sided coin. I'm a student in high school, from afar i observe couples and ho they act in the amidst that every couple iv studied have one thing all in common. before they even know each others last names or even met the family, couples all around us are saying how much they love each other. but how is it possible for couple to love only after knowing each other for a few days? love is an eternal bond of two people that is shaped over time. So what do you think of teen love and that of long term couples?

Insightful discussion, well done!
Some people call teenage love as puppy love. Puppy love as in, they just have a kind of mutual love and feeling and it's not deep at all. It's very rare to see any teenage couples controlling their desires and wait until after graduation. It's rare to see that. But in my class, there's one girl who also has a boyfriend in other courses but I don't see them engaging in any intimacy. The girl is one of the top students, yea. So, I think most of the teenage couples just need some kind of immediate love that's all, I don't know how to say. Well, in my school, a large majority of the students are dating. Very few girls I find have no boyfriends. Hmm...it's the norm of teenagers now. Perhaps when they date now, they may get some experience?

I have met couples who fell in love, got married, had kids and now in their 80's. If those relationships were not real love, then what is it? I guess some people get lucky not to have to look for so long to find someone they can live with for the rest of their lives.
I think, teen love can be the most intense. I had first love when I was 13 and we split after seven years. Even though we didn't end up together, I have cherished that relationship until now. It has taught me what real and pure love can be, it just so happened that people can outgrow each other and had to part ways.
