Girls only need love from their husbands. They don't need to be dating since they have no idea what love is.

There are these sayings that say, u dont have to be a certain age to be in love. But when u are just a teen u dont know how to control emotions or feelings and u often dont know how things are since u had so little experience. and i dont think it would affect there life in a better way...maybe waiting until u guys are a little older then love might affect in a more positive way. since right now we are still blooming and growing they call it the bloom of youth, u dont nessarcerily know how true love feels like even if u think its love many people can be wrong, since our heart is the most deceitful thing on earth. hope i helped

17 is a very difficult age. You are trying to show your parents you can do things on your own, and most generally failing miserably. Also, you are at a phase in your life when your connection with your immediate family has been established. Now is the time for you to begin to connect to other people and advance your people skills. This most generally results in a "first love". There is definitely nothing wrong with this. It is a part of growing up. And, yes, you may become distracted, but you need to learn how to divide your time and attention responsibly. And even though a lot of "first loves" end up in misery, it is a life leason that is necessary to learn. A break-up hurts no matter what the age.

I assume that you mean "Should a teen fall in love at 17?" Of course everybody "needs" love, especially teenagers, but the source and scope of that love is the real question. If you're asking about dating, dating is for the purpose of marriage. If she's ready to be married at 17, then she should date, granted most 17 year olds are not ready for marriage. On rare occasion, you'll find someone with glowing stories about the people they dated and how it was so great for them. By and large, however, the overwhelming majority of people can tell story after story about how it tore them apart and put them in situations that they would have never dreamed of allowing themselves to be in.
Long story short, I have no problem with a 17 year old being in love, if it has a purpose. Dating just to be dating 9 times out of 10 results in damaged relationships, broken hearts, and mistrust that makes marriage even more difficult.

My very first love, and loving experience, was at 16 through 18. And, now at 32, I still hold those memories very dear to my heart. I learned about myself, my body, about loving someone, and how I can lose that very easily. I learned that relationships are fragile. And, I wish I could have a "do over". So, the answer from me, is yes. I think I am a better person today, because of my first love while I was 17.

Kids always need love. I'm 33 and I still need my mommy and daddy's love and approval. At the pre-teen stage, kids start to assert their Independence and it feels like you can't win for losing. You show some concern and you are "prying" and if you back off and give them their space "you don't care!" I have an 11 year old step son, 8 year old twins and a 3 year old and no matter how "uncool" they think kisses and hugs are, they would be upset if I abruptly stopped. Yes I say kids need love, even at 17. Love their moody asses!

If, by love, you mean love from friends and parents and people who genuinely care about them - yes, of course they need love! Everyone needs to be loved. Everyone deserves to be loved.
My mother wouldn't give me love when I was in high school (she preferred to use her fists and wave knives and screech crazy things at me), so I found it in my amazing group of friends that I had then. (Five girls and four guys - amazing people.) I also had a couple of teachers that I could hang out with at school. I would not have survived if I had not had those people to love me.
Love is very important.
On the other hand, if you mean love like boyfriend, sex - it can make your life better just as much as it can make it harder. It depends on the kind of relationship you're in. If you're in a genuine, real, loving relationship with a guy - then it will make your life better (so long as your relationship isn't the only thing in your life). If you're just having sex a lot and not talking or anything - it could make your life worse, especially if you got pregnant.
Definitely find some great girl friends and hang out with them. It's amazing how many different things girls can talk about - because we are so emotionally connected, we can talk about deeper things that we often can't with guys, and having some strong female relationships at this juncture in your life is extremely important. (I mean true friendship, not hanging out with people so you'll be popular. I was well-known in school, but I was not considered popular by any means (the popular kids rather despised me).)
But everyone needs love. Everyone wants to be loved. And, most important, everyone deserves to be loved. (Unconditional love is probably the most amazing thing in the entire world.)

Being in love at 17 made my life so much sweeter! I met my prince charming when I was 17 and I'm now 24 and we've been married for four years and have two beautiful toddlers. My life couldn't get any better. I'm glad that we fell in love so young.

It is always nice to be with someone at an early age. You will definitely remember that relationship, and in some cases they end up staying together in adulthood. I married my high school sweet hart, granted we did not go to the same school. we got to gether when i was 16 and i am know 22 and have been married 4 years in April. So i believe it is good to have relations ships at an early age. it is apart of growing up and learning how to be in a mature relationship.

teens especially need love because it is one of the most difficult of life's phases. You are going from child to young adult with all kinds of pitfalls in the way. Knowing you are loved will help you make the right decisions and will give you the self-confidence you need. Good luck!

Everyone loves others its a normal thing. Children love parents, child loves favorite toy, its a normal progression to love someone outside your family. But if your talking about procreation then yes it will effect your whole life, especially if a little one enters the picture. Rather love unrequited than love with baggage.
