Do you think that a lot of the hype about love today in the media and among young people (especially primary kids and "tweens" /teenagers) is true love to last for a lifetime, or mere infatuation at a time when they're emotions are running high? Is it really credible/possible to find true love at a young age, or is it all infatuation. Do you think adults generally see it differently when they're older and have had more life experience?

Lol...thanks for all the opinions...keep them coming! This is turning out to be a really fascinating study--just was wondering, because so many young kids go on about their bf's/gf's etc. and they just seem way to young to be serious about it :) A bit hard to know if they're really up for a serious relationship!

i think anyone can be infatuated and think it is love --- for many reasons and at any age ---- it is possible to find love at a young age and it is possible to find love again when you are much older --- being an adult does not make you mature so we do get caught and need to be careful not to mistake infatuation for love ---- have fun

I honestly believe that most people who think they are in love are only INFATUATED. Once this wears off and reality sets in they bolt! Even if they haven't left their partner, they cheat and then possibly convince themselves they are in love with this person.
Its not about young people, its a human thing, regardless of age.
How many people do you know that have fallen in and out of love very quickly? I bet dozens. I know I have. I've been infatuated with many a man but I've only ever loved one man and that is my husband to whom I've been in a relationship with for nearly 6 years and married to for well over 3!
Don't misunderstand I believe you can fall out of love with someone as some marriages don't work after been together for many years but there are some that thought it would be like in the movies and split up at the first sign of trouble. Love is more than the fuzzy feelings you get inside. It is all about those vows that you take during the ceremony. A large percentage take them lightly. Its about taking the rough with the smooth.
Believe me there are times in any relationship and marriage with arguments where you feel like you could kill this person but when you've hashed it all out you then calm down. Then you are more receptive and able to see things in a different light and then you make up.
Of course if there is violence and mental abuse during a relationship then it is RIGHT to end it, as this other person have proved they are NOT in love with their partner. Both people need to love one another to make it work.

hormones, that is what it is dear boy. i think a lot of youngsters have an idealistic view of love. Can we blame them - NO, they are experiencing deep feelings and emotions for probably the first time, as you get older you realise that some thing's are not for ever and that relationships do run a course.
Friends that i used to go to school with and were madly in love are not still with the same person that they were madly in love with, si i think it is very rare, i dont think it is infatuation, i think that happens as you become a little older.

Yes it's credible to find true love at a young age.

its very rare to find true love at pre teen/teens mostly its infatuation due to there hormones being to take off and running. when they're older would have the experience to tell what is love from lust.

You can fall in love at 13. Really. I have. You know you're in trouble when you've liked him for four years and counting.
