I JUST NEED HELP WITH THE SPEECH! i've got ideas, but i'd really appreciate some more! Debate is next week, so feel free to give ideas whenever!

Im SUPPORTING this motion, we agree with this.

Answer 1

the first hurdle is to define "love" - I would challenge your opponent to do that.

Answer 2

Seems to me this question can have no definitive resolution since the concept of love is completely subjective. Was Juliet in love with Romeo or simply infatuated? Certainly the case can be made for infatuation because today's social norm for love leading to permanent commitment would require a much older age range than 13 and 17 like Juliet and Romeo. However n the 1th and 17th century that age range was perfectly reasonable for marriage. What objecive qualifications determine love. The fact that you are wiling to sacrifice for someone certaily could indicate love, but does it have to be romantic love. Some people may have such a love for their fellow humans that they are willing to die for them, though they may not know them at all.
I think love is certainly possible at any age, the question is, what kind of love, mature love, romantic love, brotherly love? There can be no definitive answer.

Answer 3

Due to rapid hormone excretion they tend to fall into lust rather than love. Love can only come with realy knowing someone over a long period of companionship. Use this somewhere and you'll sure to get the debate really rolling along.

Answer 4

teens can't fall into real love as the emotional social side of the brain isn't fully devloped until 30.
It get s a little better in the early twenties but the brain is a different shape than that of real adults.
there are loads of researchers looking into it and the results are forever cropping up in journals.

Are you ready to go to the head of the class? Carefully study the word, limerence then present your case that most of what teenagers think of as love is really nothing more than limerence or infatuation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerence
