Teenage love is just an infactuation....

I guess with everyone it is different. I am 29 years now, but when I was 13 years I met my first love. I still remember those strong feelings today. I also remember people telling me it is just a crush/infatuation you can't really love at 13years old. But now that I have experienced life I know that it was real love and there were very strong feelings. I was with him for 7 years till I was 20 years old and had my first child. I also remember the heart ache when we broke up, it took me years to recover. So yes, I do really believe you can love from 13 to 19 years old. As a teenager you can become more vulnerable and you let your guard down more, therefore fall harder in love. These days I think I put up too much barriers to prevent myself from being hurt. Great discussion.
