Love

What is love? Most teenagers think they know and some teenagers do know. It is absolutely possible to achieve love as a teenager. The problem is that most teenagers don't know how to use the word "Love" and have not yet come to understand what it truly means. Many young people in new relationships and people who are in their first relationships throw around the words

"I LOVE YOU"

(possibly the most powerful three words ever spoken in any language) as if it is something as simple as saying hello. But the truth of the matter is that it is not something as simple as hello, it is so much more than that. Love is about passion and emotion. It is a mental and physical (not always meaning sexual) connection between two people. It is the feeling of having everything, when you may not have anything. It is the reality of spending your entire life with that person and never getting tired of them. It is the knowing and practice of being able to get through any and all of the life obstacles that you may face individually and together. Falling in love as a teenager is possible. But telling someone that you love them at the start of a relationship or before you even really know them is completely unrealistic. So, my advice to everyone is get to know people before you claim to be in love with them. One of the most cliche things I have ever heard in my life is " when you know, you know" or "you will know if they are the one", but its true. Be mature about it and don't annoy people around you with the fake I love you stuff.

I am seventeen and very much in love myself! Not once did either of us say I love you before we really knew. We will get married soon enough and live together forever. "Happily ever after"
