You are not too old to be in love. But you are too young to understand what love and committment really are. Unfortunately this is something almost every teen goes through and some day you will be telling some 12-17 year old that the are too young to love.
They tell this becuase love is not something that happens in a moment. It is something that grows and deepens over time.
The person that takes care of you when your sick, that is willing to be there for you no matter what, no matter when, no matter how, is in love with you. Love is more than just saying or hearing the words I love you. Love is more than tingly feelings you get when you see someone or think about them. Love is ultimate committment. Most people 12 -17 because they do not have life experience to really understand what committment really means.
And that is why adults say what they say.
I am sure you have been in the situation of giving advice to someone younger than you...advice that was good advice based upon your 12-17 years of life experience. But that person said..."you dont understand"...but in reality...you do understand.
The adults talking to you....DO UNDERSTAND..and someday....so will you!
Guess a lot of old people answered anyway. Gee we all seem to say the same thing too and none of us talked to each other before hand. What do you think that means. Can all of us be wrong? The fact will be that you are intelligent enough to read and learn from what has been said here. Than watch, in a few weeks someone will ask the same question, and you will answer with our old people answers.

Yes you are people too. I am and old guy and I remember when I was a kid and thought I knew it all and found out a little later that I did not know nothing. You will find out soon.
Yes you can love at your age. There is always a but involved. You have not lived enough yet to know what real love is about. I know you have fun and feel like you are in love and you really are. But believe it or not there is a lot more to it then you think,.
Enjoy it while you can because it all starts changeing as you get older and you find out what life is really about.

I'm at the end of your age range, being 17, but here's my best answer. I think a lot of people in this age category abuse the word love and are willing to say it far too often. I believe that people at the end of this age range, probably over sixteen, can love because some of them are mature enough to have an understanding of love. I think it's unfair to say that no one around this age knows what love is. That's very unfair, actually. I know plenty of couples that are my age that started saying "I love you" after dating for a month; that's asinine, I'll admit. I've been with my boyfriend on and off for two years, and it took me until October of 2005 to tell him I loved him. We've devoted a lot of time to what we have. I think that constitutes love, but I think a lot of what teens consider love is just a bunch of crap. But, as I said, I also think it's very cruel that so many people dismiss all teenage relationships. Some of them can be fruitful; just because most of them aren't doesn't mean that all of them are worthless.

Love is a feeling which is always relative to a person's view on life. As you get older, you learn yourself better and the way you see and feel things change. What you felt was love when you were a teenager has now evolved and feels a little different at 20 something. You're learning to love and will continue to throughout your life. You'll develop varying levels of love for different people.
So, when someone says you're too young to know what love is, they're looking at it from their perspective. To them, you're not feeling what they consider love. But you are, because from your perspective it's what you know to be love.

You are never to young to love I believe you can fall in love very young I did at age 13 my mom told me it was puppy love but I knew it was much more then that sometimes it can be very hurtful if the other person don't love you the same way because sometime your love or their love can be stronger if that is the case then some one will end up hurting sometimes love hurts! Starting out young in love you have to know how to be strong being strong and ready for what lies ahead good or bad GOODLUCK Baby boy!

You're not at all too young to love. The point of that saying is the FACT that you are more ruled by your hormones at that stage in life. When you get older you actually come to the realization that all of these guys (or girls) that you could have sworn you were in love with as a teenager...you weren't at all. You're like a bomb. You are certainly capable of love tho.

i believe you can love a stuffed toy or a pet or going to the movies and hanging out with friends,but even that stops after time.
i think you can love but its just that you don't know what being in love means, for example i don't think you can commit yourself to one person only at such a young age,
growing up means your constantly changing and learning new things about yourself, what you like today you might not like tomorrow you still haven't established who you are and what you want,
as an adult you know what you want out of life(most of the time) lol

They don't want you to lose your focus on them. Like they don't want you ignoring them for a girlfriend, or spending money on them. They just think that theres no potential that the relationship can go on for a long time. There are a lot of stories about people becoming all messed up after breakups. My parents tell me that too, but i do it on my own without them knowing, like who cares lol.

I totally agree with you. They don't know how we feel inside even though they've been down the same road that we're just experiencing. I know I'm in love and I'm 17 so who's to tell me that I'm not. I think that because they don't realize that times have changed and they want to protect us.

You are too young to love. You aren't even old enough to be coherent, or click on spell check, or turn off your caps lock. THANX :-)
