Is it just experience? or like, not exploring what else is out there? What makes adults know what love really is/means, and teens "clueless" about it? I just dont understand why teens "dont know what love is"???

But what if i think that i have found someone who means everything to me, but people still doubt it. Isn't that kind of steryotipical(sorry for spelling) of teenagers? Maybe some of us dont take a little crush and assume that that's the person were suddenly going to marry?? I dont think its fair if i honestly think i'm in love with someone, and everyone doubts that it's "true love"...??

Love is old fashion. Sadly but true. How can a teen know what love is when he or she is taught that love comes with a $ sign. How many parents buy their love? Can't give a hug or a friendly pat anymore,because you are sentenced to be abusing a child or a student. No more warmth is permitted in our societies. And who pays the price? The teens.
Love begins at home. If there is no time for love at home, then what is the meaning of Love. I'm not judging anyone.
Love is :understanding, forgiving yourself and others, giving without expectations, listening, laughing, crying, receiving, respecting yourself and others,not doubting yourself or the other, having confidence in yourself.
Love is a feeling fulfilled, deep down in your gut you feel it. It's not something that goes away the next morning. You can't buy it but you can share it.
If you're with someone and you can't wait, it has to be done now in case it won't last.....that ain't love. That's called infatuation. Love can wait. And love is not sex. And it's not all about sex either.
If teens don't know what love is, get the parents and grandparents to get involved by not buying everything the kids want. Start by sharing, talking, teaching the VALUES of life. And love will find it's way to their hearts and knowledge.
By the way, not all teens are clueless about love. Those that don't follow the trends of this consumed society, know what love is.
All we need is love with a big hug.

Not all adults know what love is. If they did there wouldn't be a 50% divorce rate in the US. Part of the problem for teens is inexperience with relationships, but I think there is just a lack of experience with life. When you're a teen you probably don't know who are...not really. It takes until you're in your 20s at least to know who you are and what your goals are. Before you know that you can't really know what you want in a mate.

I am 50 and I know that teens DO know what love is - we all know. To say that young people don't know is silly, they love parents, grandparents and sisters and brothers, baby cousins and friends.
Love is caring for another and wanting their happiness more that you want your own.
I think what people mean when they say that is that teens often do not understand the implication of decisions that they may make at their age - remember that your parents have been teens and you have not yet been parents!
So, I think teens love, and love deeply, but because of their limited experience may make decisions about choosing a life partner that are not based on extensive life experience, but don't worry, life experience comes with time.
Meanwhile, love, live and be happy, nurture those you love and as my granny used to say to me when I had my first boy-friend - "BE GOOD, AND IF YOU CAN'T BE GOOD, BE CAREFUL"
I met my first husband when I was 16 and he was 19. When he died we had been married for almost 20 years and still loved each other deeply (people had said that it wouldn't last!)

Most people don't know what love is until they fall in love. It is very rare for you to fall in love while you're a teen.
There are some teens who do know what love is, and there are some adults who don't know what love is.

Love is KNOWING that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone after being with them for a long time.

because you're a youngster! The time period "teen" did not emerge till the 1950's because you've been considerd a gentle new child or a gentle guy/woman. there have been also larger expectiations of "young ones" because they were, before the 50's and after in maximum parts of u . s . a ., meant to calm down and get married, have little ones and all that jazz. those young ones did no longer have time to really get nasty. effective some human beings might want to were quite harsh, yet thats existence. Its genuine, that maximum persons sense undesirable about bullying, perhaps no longer for years afterwards, yet faster or later in time, they sense poor about the way the dealt with someone. young ones now a days haven't any element occurring. intense college is common adequate, hi I purely graduated OMG, 4 years in the past. 0.5 of my instructors GAVE US THE solutions and that i went to an "stunning" rated college. No duh, they gave us the solutions. yet what takes position at the same time as those 15 vals you graduated bypass to school and they could't hack it contained in the genuine international, they get positioned out to dry with the aid of professors and classmates for his or her lack of expertise. college isn't as annoying because it change into. And a range of of the time, bullying is over ameliorations of clothing or style. If each body in intense colleges wore an similar uniform there does no longer be as many complications. each body looks as dumb as each body else, only for a little while. yet young ones are mean. I had a lady textual content me at the same time as i change into 15 saying she change into going to come back to my living house, she change into absolutely on her way, she stated, to scratch my motor vehicle including her living house key. She couldn't force, I texted her, because she quite couldn't, she under no circumstances had her DL. shes 23 now and nonetheless would not, thats quite unhappy, she cant' be depended on in the back of a wheel. besides, she keeps that crap up and tells me that i'm a grimy whore and that shes going to screw my boyfriend who change into giggling next to me the entire time. in case you understand its no longer genuine, then do not allow it hardship you. in the experience that they see that they could't get an strengthen out of you they are going to stop, yet don't be afraid to study some protection strikes purely in case. effortless blocking off and stuff like that, you under no circumstances understand, teenage ladies like to wrestle lately.
