As a 16-year-old guy who feels he loves his girlfriend more than anything, I do not believe that teens are too young to love. But, this does not mean I feel it’s a very likely occurrence.
Actually I think that the word love is abused and mistreated. I see people getting all kissy and saying “I love you” one day, then saying how much they despise their partner the next. |
