I currently do about 40 minutes of exercise a day and are really happy with the results.
I have two weeks off work and was wondering if I trained at the gym for 2 hours per day would I see great results?

Just look at professional athletes and see all the problems they deal with for stress on their body. Should talk to trainer or someone to make sure you don't develope problems later in life.

Overtraining is bad. When you exercise you cause tiny tears in the muscle that heal while resting. If you exercise too much your muscles can't totally recover.
Whether 2 hours a day is overtraining depends on what you do.

over training increases free radical damage, in the long run

Yes, it works for seasoned bodybuilders, but if you are a teenager you should NOT over-do it to work out with heavy weights. High reps is good for anybody, though.
