I mean adults think it is non-sense for kids to have true luv. But yet when a mother or father says I luv u to their child don't they expect to hear it back...but they can't hear it back bcuz their kids don't know wut true luv is...so if a kid says they are in luv or that they luv somebody older ppl think it is non-sense for them to actually love someone right? so then why do adults say that they luv their children if their children dont "really" know wut it means? so ppl say...cuz we really do.

Romantic love requires maturity. Your spelling alone shows that you haven't acquired that yet.
Even babies have the ablity to love and they do love...that's not the same as being "in love" with someone in a romantic way.
Sorry, but children don't know what it means to love romantically...they know they like someone, they know lust (esp when the've reached puberty), and they tend to know infatuation, but it takes maturity and some social experience/interaction beyond teen-level, to understand and realize romantic love.
Why be in such a rush for it? You'll get there...enjoy being a kid. Once that's over then you're an 'adult' for the rest of your life.

There is a BIG difference between the love you have for a family member and the love you have for a significant other. Of course children love their parents (at least I certainly hope so), but when it comes to a boyfriend/girlfriend, most times (99.999% of the time) they are not mature enough to recognize the difference between love and infatuation. And actually, some adults are not mature enough to recognize the difference.
EDITED TO ADD THIS AFTER YOU ADDED ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
You said:
“ill tell ya'll exactly what love is...love is that tingly thing you get inside of you when you know that someone loves you that they care for you that they will do anything for you just to keep you..DUH...and that comes from an 11 yr. old think about it.”
Duh! This is SOOOOO NOT love. You have A LOT of growing up/maturing to do.

Love of a child and parent is different than the love between a boy and girl. Many teens think that theya re in love when they are dating at that age, during high school etc. Love is not just a feeling, it is also a commitment 2 people made to each other, to honour and love for teh rest of their life until the other party dies. There will be a lot of trials and tribulations and many couples fall appart when that happens. Only when you know the true meaning of love, do they stay married to eahc other till they die. That is why these days, there are many divorce cases and people just living with different partners throughout their life.
Love is a sacrifice : It means you are always thinking of the other and making sacrifices for each other. Through times of troubles and sadness, instead of yelling at each other, they support each other.

lol..I remember feeling the same weay when I was your age. And the thing is,no one is saying that you can't love someone enough for it to be a real feeling! You can be young and get your heart broken! But it's more disappointment over what YOU wanted and hurt over the loss. Read over what you said,that love is the feeling you get knowing that someone cares about YOU & will do anything to keep YOU. That's the difference. True love is more about giving than receiving. A lot of the fulfillment comes from doing for the other person & celebrating them. Not just for what they are willing to do for you. By the way, be careful interpreting someone going to extreme lengths to keep you as meaning that they love you. Love and possess are not synonyms!

You are totally misunderstanding this. Love is like a donut. When someone asks for a donut, do they mean a glazed donut, powedered donut, creme filled? It can mean a lot of different things. Someone who is allergic to dairy might be able to eat a plain donut, but if you give them a creme filled donut , they are going to get sick. Love is the same way. Some people understand and are ready for one kind of love, but not necessarily for another kind.
"True love" between a child and a parent is still love, but it is completely and utterly different than love between a man and a woman. THAT is the kind of love that most adults are talking about when they say that children do not know what "true love" is. "True love" is what is often used to describe a love between lovers; people with adult needs and emotions.... in other words, people who are going to get married. It is different than the love you feel for your mom or your sister or your dog or anyone else. If you don't even know THAT, how can you claim that you know all about love?

Okay...you are taking things way out of context. When a parent tells their child they love them...it's called unconditional love. They spent nine months taking care and preparing to give you a great life...they have a right to say they love you. When you the "child" tells an older/ or same age person that you love them(and they have no relation) then they worry. You can't just love someone for no reason. Parents have plenty of reasons to tell their children that they love them...get over it.

Your too young to know what the love is between two people(say your parents). You may be able to describe what you beleive love is but i promise you its way more than that, and you are way to younng at 11 yrs. old to understand that. Now, your mother or father telling you they love you, is completely different. I beleive you know that, and just trying to be a know it all little kid.

The kind of love between a parent and their child ( or vise versa) is different than a love between a parent and parent. There are different levels of love. No one says that children aren't capable of love. They are, very much. It's just not mature love that comes later in life.

Why are you compairing the love between parent & child with the love between 2 ADULTS?
You've got NO IDEA of what that kind of love is, let alone feel it.
Such nonsense!
