Studies, you have your whole adult life to worry about love. Trust me, more time that you can imagine.
Be good to yourself, study hard and be good to your family and friends. Love will come to you all in good time.

I will say - definitely studies. But how can one live without love? So, you should have a balance with a little overweight on the study side. Why? Well, when we are teenagers (which is long past for me), we tend to make really impulsive and not "correct" decisions, you know what I mean? I look back at my life, and I had that awesome boyfriend I dated for 4 years, we broke up. Of course, it was very hard, etc. But now I thank god that I didn't stay with him. As people getting more mature, they understand more, and think very differently. They change their points of view on subjects and have more experience.
What I am trying to say, if you are a teenager, enjoy both, but do not let love be your priority. It most definitely will go away.

At any point in life, "life" is the first priority. One must constantly strive to live every moment of life meaningfully till the last moment.
When you are a teenager, the focus should be building a strong foundation for future life. More than studies work on "learning". This will ensure that you are successful in the profession/work/service that you finally get in to.
Love is essential at all stages of life as long as you do not mix it with "lust". Love makes us feel "wanted", and "positive". It can come from all sources - parents, friends, boy/girl friend, or spouse.
May I recommend that you set up a goal for yourself and remember obstacles are the "things" that you see whenever you take your eyes off the goal.
All the best!

Why not study LOVE? Just kidding. Wow that's a tough question. If love interferes with the studies then it's the wrong kind of love. It's more of a desperation rather than love. Bad love, you want to tear your hair out. Good love is easy, and has rhythm and synchrony with life. Actually, studies will be easier with good love.Things will fall in place. It's like finding the right puzzle piece.
Have you ever tried to place a puzzle piece that wasn't the right one, but at first it looked like it? That's bad love.
Dispense with that and focus on the studies, because one day you'll be pushing a baby carriage and wishing you were back in school.

According to Erik Erikson, people seek most love and affection during these years (teenage to young adult). This is because of their need to feel affirmation, security and safety from others. So don't be frightened that you feel the urge to prioritize love more.
Though there are also teens who prioritize studies more *ehem!* because of their determination to have a bright future, the need of finding a partner is still not forgoten.
Always remember, If this stage won't be satisfied, the adult will be fixated on to seeking that need until his mature years in life. So balance it and give both your fullest ability. Just be careful not to take things too fast because if you do, you might end up in heartache.
Hope to be of help!

Me speaking from experience, studies would be first then love. Get school done first. You will thank yourself later. Me I regret getting married at age 19. I wish I would have waited but now I am 27 divorced with four kids. And going through a battle for my kids and so stressed out.

Love is a waste of time at such a young age. You should be social, but not "in love". Do yourself a favor and study so you can have a good life and then the love part will fall right in.

Studies love can wait. We're only in elementary school,middle school, high school and hopefully college for a short amount of time. Put school first you have your whole life to find love. As an adult you probably won't that same dorky little middle school boy following you around anyway. Put school first.

Naybe your thinking that love (because when I was your age I thought that) but believe is study, study first because love come later in life, you can have maaaaaannyyy love during your entire life, but you have only one time to study because then you get married have other responsibilities you can study then...
