 I think that all humans are ingrained with what love truly is! The bond between a child and a parent is one of the strongest we know! Love is one of the first true emotions we learn! Love like other survival instincts lurks in our subconscious and I doubt it has age barriers! Although to enact sexual behavior we are usually programmed (like the machines we are!) to participate in adult love interests at a certain age (puberty). Love is known by children but True love is a concept that even a lot of adults do not get!

 Grown ups say that because a lot of them have done that. Thought they were in love but really wasn't. The only person that can tell you if you are in love or not is you. You should know how feelings are different from one person to another.

 I personally am a teen and i think that we do understand the meaning of love just are confused between the meaning of true love and hormones. But we have the ability to tell which is which we just usually ignore the right decision.

 I do think that teens know when they are in love because everyone has different feelings about someone they are involved with. I don't think that age matters. I'm only 15 and i have been in love.

 Yes of course we know what love feels like.
Everyone makes their own definition of what love is. And you only find someone that feels perfect for you is when you know what love is. Doesn't matter how old you are. Sorry relationships don't work out for 50% of the people and i think everyone in the no section but yes we sure know what love is

 There is no "meaning" behind love. It's a feeling that cannot be described, but you know it's nice. Everyone can love. Everyone can be in love. Even little children can have a love for there crush. Teenagers especially, not all of them delinquents like most adults would say. Some are even more mature than the adults, and those teens know love when they feel it.

 Why would age determine if you can truly love or not? I'm a teen and in love, just because I'm not of the "adult" age doesn't mean I'm blind as to what love truly is. Age means nothing, it's how your heart feels.

 I think it is possible for teens to know as much the 'true meaning of love' as anyone else. Most the adults I know are clueless.

 I think that everyone is different. Some people go into relationships because the person is hot or sexy and they only want to have sex and then get out fast. But for other teenagers they do feel love and they know what it means they just look for the one till they know they found him/her

 Doesn't matter how old you are, what is important here is our character. Some teenagers know what love is, others don't, they only know attraction and crushes. The same thing happens with grown ups, or else there wouldn't be any divorces, right?

 Well to me when i met my husband i knew i loved him and would marry him. But there was only one other time i felt the same way, and if he was to come up to me and ask me back i dont know what i would do. I was 14 and so much in love with this boy. He was 16 and he loved me we dated for two and half years and it took him one and half years to tell me he loved me. And i know he meant it. Teenagers do know what true love is. So just leave them alone if they say they are.

 I think they know but it is hard 2 find. But ppl who think that u cant know if this person is ur true love until u have sex that's wrong, it is a matter of respect and if u really love someone and they love u u need to have respect 4 1 another and wait 2 have sex.

 Most people are saying that teenagers are just following their hormones when I disagree. I am not going to have sex until after high school. I don't date girls for sex.

 Teens think they know the meaning of love, I am sure at one time in our life we had that one special boyfriend and you really believe its Love. But on the flip side I met my B/F now Husband when we were in our senior year and we have now been married for 32 yrs.

 I believe that love is learned over time. Growing up, you learn of family love in how your parents react to you and how your brothers and sisters or maybe your friends brothers and sisters react to you.

Then you see your parents react to each other and you learn yet another form of love (and most likely the type of love you are referring to).

Then you begin to date with the thought that you are in love but yet you are beginning to learn yet another type of love that is the stepping stone for the type of love your parents have. Through many relationships your love is molded into something just a little different each time.

Some adults still do not know what love really is and some kids have figured out what love is but it is all a learning process. It takes a very mature person to say I do not know what love really is but I am willing to take the challenge so that I can be there for someone and have someone there for me. Then we can continue to grow our love and relationship together.

 Your first love always feels real that's why its called puppy love lol. It feels that way and in that moment it is but i do not think they know the true meaning of love at that age we all have been there at least i have.

 Oh yes, a debate about this! I don't think they know anything about true love at all. We're so young. So caught up in the trendy, in or acceptable things. When do we actually take the time to get to know someone? Unless you've been friends for a while and live next to each other, there's a rather significant chance that you probably don't know how they're like.

I think for us to truly love someone, we must know them. To be able to know and accept all their different moods, emotions, and habits.

 Chances are when they're going through that 'who do you like?' stage they don't and probably for most their childhood they wont, but there are probably some who really are in love.

 NO i don't think they know the meaning of true love because one can only experience love as they will mature.
It is just like saying a 6 month child to walk on there own ...

 Sometimes i dont think adults even know the true meaning, but i do believe that being a child, or teenager you will have ton of experiences to help you figure out at least what you want out of a relationship that will not necessarily,(probably not) be love. Most people go off of looks and let their hormones get in the way.

 I'm against it as well,

" I Love You " those 3 words are very powerful and you should be prepared to say it, most teens would be, because their only young and there's a lot of things that happen when you in your teens...too many distractions.

 Most aren't even old enough to go out in the world yet so they don't know what truly lies in the depths of love.

 Certainly! I fell in love at 17 and am 24 now and still feel very much in love. I may have not known how to react with love as it is so strong for the best and the worse! Your heart is the most treacherous thing and so you must train your heart with your mind and be wise not to hurt those you love - love is not selfish.

 You sound very sensible. I'm sure you know that teenagers think they know everything better than adults do. There are people who travel through life never knowing what love really is. I imagine that some teenagers can say they know what real love is, but I suggest to you that most teens are not mature enough or experienced enough to know true love.

Teenagers have not yet had the experience to know what real life is about let alone true love. They haven't learned what it's like to share all that they are with another person. They haven't had a chance to know what it is to be separated from someone or to really depend on another for emotional support. Most teenagers are still caught up in gossip. They frequently don't know how to communicate their feelings. They are often "in love" until the next person comes along, and they are not prepared to dedicate their lives to one person. All of these things take time, and teenagers haven't had enough time to be sure they know true love.

 I think you mean the "love" that's not the same as the love you get from your family.
In my opinion teens... Most likely don't know the true meaning of love. A rare few might find the person they really love... But mostly I think it's hormones (like Roxfe said). They only think it's love because the feeling is so powerful.

They haven't grown up that much

 As Kitana said, hormones talk. They have huge difficulties in distinguishing the meaning of love and sex. What happens to them most of the time is that a love is not true without sex.

 If most adults don't know the true meaning of love then how can a teenager? At that age it is mostly hormones talking. I should know. Pregnant and married at 16. I thought I had true love. NOT! Now at 42, I can say I have found true love and it's not with my ex. Lol
