Are Teenagers capable of Experiancing true love?

If you give me a full good answer, it would sure help me out alot of my English class. We are reading up on Romeo and Juliet and i was asked to think about this seriously.

I was wondering what you guys think because Iam kind of stuck. So I figured you guys could help me out and i can get some opinoins.

Can teenagers experiance true love?

Answer 1

They are capable of experiencing hormones.I mean ,I hate to say it because there really is not anything like teen love.
But sometimes they become over dramatic and want to declare their love and prove it to each other.When the newness wears off , then they become bored and want some one new.

Answer 2

Yes. My greatest love happened when I was young(age 16), we even became engaged...I loved without selfishness. I loved with out brains for that matter. I stayed true even through the abuse...I think it is easier for teens than for adults... we learn the ways of the world... this is okay...this is not...financial security, and so on and so forth. When you get older you try to make the responsible decision in a lover. Will he work, will he stay out of jail. I walk away from my true love (age 18) because he was abusive and couldn't stay out of jail. I wanted better for our child, but no love has ever compared. Every physical flaw I had memorized still do. I have been married for almost 6 years and I couldn't tell you where my husbands flaws are. I don't thirst for the details. I think with true love you learn to love even the flaws. Before we married were both like background check and job check...so on and so forth. I guess you could say it is an arranged marriage by us, and we are learning to love one another. Here there are just a bunch of guys and gals that we do not feel would make good companions. It is like every one has been in jail or is abusive, won't keep a job...so on and so forth. As you get older you go through many heartaches...breaks, and with each one you loose a part of yourself. You don't want to go through those again and again so you try to make better choices. So yes they are probably more capable of true love...with possibly more poor choices. I would say that as adults we are better at making choices and less likely at experiencing true love if they loved before. I have a theory that, that is why it is in the bible about not having sex before marriage...Both adults and teens confuse love and lust.

Answer 3

Biologically, yes. Socially, it's unlikely. "Back in the day", we're talking R&J time here, teenagers had a lot more responsiblity and less freedom for what seems now natural pursuit of selfishness. In our culture, teenagers are inherently selfish and therefore are incapable of 'true love' or at least for the most part. Besides, I have my doubts about R&J being love. It's quite dramatic though isn't it? Teenagers do have true love for dramatics. Of course, I speak in generalisations. Some are, most are not.

Answer 4

It depends on how true love is defined.

If it's defined as a superlative feeling of desire and need that cannot be matched... the height of passion... the absolute maximum conceivable feeling of bliss around another person... then yes, they are capable of true love.

If it's defined as a time-tested relationship, mutually giving and receiving, understanding, unconditional selfless wish to see the other happy in life no matter what that means... then no, they are not capable of true love.

Personally, I define love as the latter description, so I say no, they can't experience true love.

Answer 5

Yes they can fall in true love but they often mistake the feeling of being loved as one of being in love.

Does that make sense?

It makes us all feel good to know we're loved and to have someone you like say that makes it even better. The problem is that teens don't have enough life experience to know for sure in most cases.

Answer 6

no, im 13 years old and ive went out wit a couple of girls, we talk and say how much we love each other but when we break up, that loves flies out the window, and we break up for stupid reasons and its not cause we have to, so i think we dont experience true love because we dont know what it truly is or we dont know what it feels like

Answer 7

i think of it is attainable and occurs lots. via fact it is the previous love and so crammed with idealism and not in accordance with journey, it does not final. adolescents are much greater changeable than older human beings. i comprehend of couple who began relationship in midsection college who've been married a minimum of fifty years. young little ones' previous love can paintings out, whether it does not very generally. maximum individuals have some nostalgia for his or her previous love or overwhelm.

Answer 8

yes, teenagers [or even those younger] can experience true love. when they feel the overwhelming need to be with someone [and hopefully, that someone has the same need with them], they experience this true love.

unfortunately, I have yet to try it. :]]
