Why do teenagers believe that they are in love? Is it a mental disturbance? A thing that will not allow us to see that love is not that “warm fuzzy feeling, that makes you tingle” but instead a choice that we make. A thing that men look at and see that life is not worth living without this person, but turn right around and say that another person is really hot. A man is not considered a man unless he is held to a degree of being able to lie and cheat on his girlfriend, I am in theory saying that men in modern times. Please respond to this and tell me you’re ideas.
My suggestion is that you read some of the previous posts on this somewhat over worked and tired topic.
Welcome to the forum, by the way.
Thank you. I did not know that there were other posts about it.
No problem, just go to search and type in ‘love’ in the subject field. You’ll find many contributions. Perhaps youo should contribute to one of the pre-existing boards on the subject?
Maybe you’ll find some answers there?
:) Sorry! Had to delete my post!
beenajain what do you have to say about your kind and the ridiculous worldwide high school misery causing practice of liking boys who dont seem to care about you and wanting to be ‘just friends’ with those of us who actually do.
i think a good number of us here eagerly await your response.
why do you believe they’re not? i agree though, that MOST really aren’t and know they aren’t…they’re just all trendy and preppy and caught up in the “horrible drama that is life” and feel they need love to either be accepted by friends or to be accepted by some one person that they think can cure them of all their problems. people have this misconception that love is without its own issues, that it’s a perfect utopia (yes i know it’s redundant), or that once you fall in love nothing will go wrong for the rest of your life. and of course, these are about the biggest lies anyone has ever told.
i know i posted on a dead topic but i’m so bored i dont care at all
Love is not a thing.
Love is not something.
It’s not external.
It’s no object.
It’s not of class and it should not be stereotyped.
Love is a part of us, like fingers and eyes, bones and blood.
Rotten and unhealthy people have poor and low quality love,
In the same way that blind persons have low quality eyes.
Strong and complete persons have firm and precise love,
Of which is successful and empowering for their system of existence.
Love is a part of power, which is related to creative and motive force of attraction. Weak people’s love cannot accomplish much, it easily dies and fails. Strong and powerful being’s love can accomplish much, it is undieing and it creates beyond itself.
Chemicals in the brain, nothing more.
Love is important for all of us.If there was no love at the earth,i think all of us will die. 
I’m not dead.
Mental disturbance? I dont think so, its quite simple I think, its just that most people at that age are are not emotionally mature enough to know what love is. It is quite a hard concept to grasp.
I dont think Im a man by your definition. I would say in contrast that its is the nature of man due to testosterone levels that virtually all men will look at another woman, to be fair though i think most women are like that. But looking is not cheating, we are defined by our actions not our thoughts. And no not all men do cheat
Says nothing about love, just what you belive causes it. Is that what you intended or are you suggesting that love is a chemical? Because thats not love, love is an abstract notion that conveys a reaction that can trigger complex feelings within us.
Allright, this may be. Love = Perception. It is aided by chemicals though. Real love must be what is beyond those chemicals.
Most teens are just horny and would not know love from lust if it hit them over the head with a baseball bat. And that is called physical growth. Them homones play tricks with the mind and body. A good dose of saltpeter in the lunchroom meals would cure problems 
No such thing as love. It’s merely an indirect form of self satisfaction. You love a person because you want them, because you need them. You want the best for them because their happiness brings you joy. They become a possession, an object. Sad but true… 
Teenage or puppy love these days seems to happen by influence of media outlets and other popular hysterias.
They come to believe that love is the thing that they see perpetuated on the television set.
( Sadly this can go for some adults too.)
There are some exceptions…but they remain a rarity.
That too.
