Why ? Why ? Why ?

Question

Why do adults say you can't love someone at 13? Why do you say i can't be really love?I mean you don't know what we are feeling! I know for some it isn't true love but maybe for some it is! Why can't we love at 13 when we could die anyday ?

Answer 1

We DO know what you're feeling because we've all been 13 before......but-
I think it can feel like love.. Why not? You're right, whose to say if it is or isn't?
I think adults get too caught up in the whole '13 is too young to even be thinking about love' idea that we seem to forget that it really can happen, despite the age....

Answer 2

Can you really honestly say you love a guy at 13 years old? You have not experienced life long enough to know how to handle someone of the opposite sex. What you need to do is concentrate on the business being a kid (hanging with friends, studying hard in school, getting a job) then when you're old enough (say like 45...just kiddin) then you can think of dating & marriage. Why are you worried about death away??

Answer 3

Of course you can love at 13. Children love their parents from the time they're babies. If you're talking about romantic love, then it's a bit more delicate: passion is really something you experience when you get a little bit older, for most people.

And you're not going to die anyday! You're gonna live 'til you're 93. lol

Answer 4

Because little one, you cannot.

At 13 your emotions run high, hormones are raging and EVERYTHING is a melodrama.

I wouldn't rush it though. You'll be an adult soon enough and realize just how good you've got it at 13.

For the record though -- I met my first crush at the age of 13. We grew up together and are still friends (I'm 32 and he's 34). Never ever dated but for the record, I do understand how you feel.
