In this country, anything that anyone does is going to be socially unacceptable to some assholes! Do what makes you happy and worry not about what others think!

Answer 2

Kenny, If you are seriously looking for an answer try this one.

As you grow older, you grow out of the things that you held dearest to you. You loved baloons when u were a 2 year old, now you dont give much s**t about it now. You grew out of it.

In a humans emotional growth, we attain a place of stagnation where we dont grow out of things that very often. This biological age can be different for different people. History has shown repeatedly that the younger you start a love the less chances that you can stay committed to for a long time. Hence the usual s**t advice "u hav no idea wot love is". This does not mean that all grown ups always know and keep their loves constant. Just the probability is higher.

Hence the unacceptability.

Answer 3

OK, I'll try and not give you that s**t... It's not socially unacceptable first of all. The thing is, when you get older, i.e. 20s or 30s or whatever, you have a bigger concept of life. At 15, you've probably heard you've got your whole life in front of you. That can mean growing up. If you are 15 you might feel grown up, but being grown up is different. It's dealing with different pressures of life, i.e money, kids, house ownership/renting, taxes etc.. These normal, everyday things put pressure on a relationship. It's being able to manage these things with your partner that makes people say, "You have no idea what love is" because you don't have any pressure at the moment. I don't want to be patronising. I fell in love when I was 17. We parted and I met someone else. Was married for 15 years and ended up with my first love again (who I'm still with). That is very rare though. When you get to 16, 17, 18 things can change. At 18 for example one or both of you could decide they want to do a particular job or move somewhere else to make money - separately. There are so many things that could change your current situation. Just live for the moment for now and enjoy each other.

Answer 4

Adults tend to think you can;t be in love when you're still considered a child because you haven;t experienced enough of life yet.

They are also scared by the depth of this emotion as it may lead to behaviours and desires they do not consider you to be ready for, e.g sexual acts, and the desire to marry etc. They don't want you to set your heart on one path when you have not seen the others. The irony of this is you could be just as immature and inexperienced at the age of twenty, but it would now be acceptable.

It's mainly because people are uncomfortable with people who are still considered to be children having adult emotions, especially of such depth that some would defy their parents to be with their significant other. I guess parents are also scared of their children loving someone else more than them, as this is probably their first experience of this and they're scared to lose their beloved child.

Many things really lol, but it doesn't mean your love isn't true. I'm an adult now, and I am deeply in love with my bf, but when I look back I know I was in love at the age of 16 too. You know the truth, and emotionally mature youngsters are definitely capable of such emotions. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Forget society's opinion. It's mainly fear that fuels their denial.

Answer 5

I don't believe that its right to say you don't know what love is because if you feel it then its true. I guess people just can't accept it because 15 years old is still considered a child and your not old enough to have sex, smoke or drink and maybe people think your not old enough to understand Love. The people who say these things have obviously been in love before and split up and are with different people.
Different relationships teach you different things, they teach you how to work at a relationship and how to avoid mistakes I think thats what people mean when they say you don't understand. They have had years experience of relationships, Maybe their right, but only time will have the answer. Some people fall in love young and stay together forever and some it takes longer.

Answer 6

In psychology there is a term called the social clock. This social clock has to do with what is acceptable at certain ages and points in life and can vary from generation to generation or between cultures. So one who prescribes to this theory would say that this is considered socially unacceptable because it is not normal for humans of this age or stage of physical, emotional, mental, and moral development to either be in love, be capable of falling in love, or be responsible/ mature enough to handle true feelings of love. Since many perceive falling in love to be something that occurs later in the teen years or adulthood and therefore may be uncomfortable with such young people reaching that stage in a relationship and thus deem it unacceptable.

Answer 7

I got that when I was 16. It isn't true. I don't see any problem with it though just when you are this young, most of the time the relationship will not last because both of you are still growing and might part later with different goals and going in seperate directions. Though sometimes it does work. Good for you and don't let anyone tell you different. I haven't heard of it being socially unacceptable though???

Answer 8

it's not at all unacceptable and the feeling is without doubt very very strong...but the only question you need to ask yourself is, all over the world how many people in their let's say thirties, are still 'in love' with the person they were with when they were 15? I don't know, but i would guess not very many. So just don't think the world will end and that this person is guaranteed to be the one

Answer 9

its not socially uacceptable. In some cultures,people marry at that age. High school sweethearts can definitely last if they work hard to keep the relationship strong. If u dont wanna live without that person and u would put them before urself, u could be in love. Just Make sure the feeling is mutual so u dont get hurt.

Answer 10

It is not unacceptable at 15. That is the very age when it happens to most people and is important that you experience it, but it is also just as important that you don't act upon it, this is part of growing up and maturity, you are on the edge of this and it is for you to be chased, your first love will always be in your memory and then you mature and grow up, intact and remember that love fondly in it's innocence.
Good Luck!.

Answer 11

You may know love at 15. I did, and am happily married to the man I loved at 15. Do wait until you are old enough to support yourselves before getting married, though, and do wait until you are married to have sex. It makes things much much easier that way. You do a lot of growing up between 15 and 20, and I know you feel grown up now, but you still have a lot to learn. That's why many adults will tell you that you can't be in love. Enjoy being in love and enjoy growing up because it happens way too fast!
