Yes they can love. But True Love? No.

yes it is possible. i know plenty of high school sweethearts who've gotten married and still are, my friends parents have been together since they were 15/16 got married straight out of high school (been about 24 years now i think maybe more) and are still married and going strong. my best friend has been with her bf since they were 15 and 16 and are still together they even have a child together, and live together. so yeah it can happen and i agree with Misa it all depends on the maturity level of the parties involved

Yeah exactly... there are so many examples of strong relationships from teenage years, yet people still dismiss that. Of course more relationships break up then, but there are a ton of reasons for that, not the fact that teenagers can't experience love.

I disagree... love is for everyone who has enough brain to contain that emotion.

I doubt love has much to do with hormones, insofar as the young age between 14-18 is concerned. I do think young love is probable, but highly unlikely.

Love isn't about age or experience, it's about life. So when younger people say they're in love when they haven't had a whole lot of life yet, they can't comprehend the definition of love.

Though I do agree with what was written earlier: everyone has their own definition of love. However, there is one universal to love that forms the basis of everyone's "personal definition".

Love is both a noun and verb simultaneously. If you cannot wrap your head around this basic and fundamental idea, then you cannot begin to comprehend what love could be. Therefore, if you're 16 and you fully understand that, then it's possible for you to really be in love, though as mentioned earlier, it's highly unlikely.

I really have two different ways of describing love.

First one being, clearly, Ella Fitzgerald's Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love). Says it all for some.

Second being a more personal definition. Protection, comfort, warmth, happiness, and just an all-around clear feeling of joy. I figure that to be love.

What's the difference betweenst maturity and experience? One person could say, "I'm a mature person. I can spot out the difference between real love and puppy love because I've got a clear head on my shoulders," compared to "I'm an experienced person. I can spot out the difference between real love and puppy love because I've seen it all..." Really, what is the difference between them?

Experience is a sort of time-stamp on how long you've been here, with a dash of action. Stay in doors all day, even though you've lived to be 75, and you might not be too experienced.

Maturity is a form of mental age in comparision with biological age. That's why people will use the phrase, "You're mature for your age," if they're talking about, let's say, a 17 year old thinking on par with a 19 or 20 year old. This can also work in reverse too, as some people, myself included, can act younger than their age suggests. At the same time, if we're going to use myself as the guinea pig, I can at mature about a great deal of things, on par with people who are 25 or 26 (being 21 myself), but at other times I can act younger, around the age of 17 or younger. Maturity isn't a blanket statement about someone, but more on how they approach certain things.

true love
 

I would say so...I mean, I know some girls who just randomly "go out" with almost anyone that asks them, and I don't think that's right. They just like saying they have a boyfriend. But I do think that it's definitely possible, just not common among really young people. But its annoying when people say "Oh, it's just puppy love", or "they're just teenagers acting stupid again.":chikasfrown:
