What makes teens not know what love is?

Is it just experience? or like, not exploring what else is out there? What makes adults know what love really is/means, and teens "clueless" about it? I just dont understand why teens "dont know what love is"???

What makes teens not know what love is?
raging hormones.
Reply:I don't think adults have the right to always judge that teens can't be falling in love. We CAN be in love. Some teens aren't serious... That doesn't mean the same thing goes for all of us though... Report It

Reply:Hormones addle their brains.
Reply:Its not important at this age. Also if you dont know what love is it's because you have knowine your in love with. After you fing that special someone you'll experience what love is.
Reply:Love is KNOWING that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone after being with them for a long time.
Reply:their parents. parents should tell that kids love does not have to hurt but it often seems to. tell them that you will get hurt and that its not the end of the world.


and sweetie, there are some adults that don't know what love is. trust me
Reply:Most people don't know what love is until they fall in love. It is very rare for you to fall in love while you're a teen.





There are some teens who do know what love is, and there are some adults who don't know what love is.
Reply:Love is old fashion. Sadly but true. How can a teen know what love is when he or she is taught that love comes with a $ sign. How many parents buy their love? Can't give a hug or a friendly pat anymore,because you are sentenced to be abusing a child or a student. No more warmth is permitted in our societies. And who pays the price? The teens.





Love begins at home. If there is no time for love at home, then what is the meaning of Love. I'm not judging anyone.





Love is :understanding, forgiving yourself and others, giving without expectations, listening, laughing, crying, receiving, respecting yourself and others,not doubting yourself or the other, having confidence in yourself.





Love is a feeling fulfilled, deep down in your gut you feel it. It's not something that goes away the next morning. You can't buy it but you can share it.





If you're with someone and you can't wait, it has to be done now in case it won't last.....that ain't love. That's called infatuation. Love can wait. And love is not sex. And it's not all about sex either.





If teens don't know what love is, get the parents and grandparents to get involved by not buying everything the kids want. Start by sharing, talking, teaching the VALUES of life. And love will find it's way to their hearts and knowledge.





By the way, not all teens are clueless about love. Those that don't follow the trends of this consumed society, know what love is.





All we need is love with a big hug.
Reply:Not all adults know what love is. If they did there wouldn't be a 50% divorce rate in the US. Part of the problem for teens is inexperience with relationships, but I think there is just a lack of experience with life. When you're a teen you probably don't know who are...not really. It takes until you're in your 20s at least to know who you are and what your goals are. Before you know that you can't really know what you want in a mate.

Reply:I am 50 and I know that teens DO know what love is - we all know. To say that young people don't know is silly, they love parents, grandparents and sisters and brothers, baby cousins and friends.





Love is caring for another and wanting their happiness more that you want your own.





I think what people mean when they say that is that teens often do not understand the implication of decisions that they may make at their age - remember that your parents have been teens and you have not yet been parents!





So, I think teens love, and love deeply, but because of their limited experience may make decisions about choosing a life partner that are not based on extensive life experience, but don't worry, life experience comes with time.





Meanwhile, love, live and be happy, nurture those you love and as my granny used to say to me when I had my first boy-friend - "BE GOOD, AND IF YOU CAN'T BE GOOD, BE CAREFUL"





I met my first husband when I was 16 and he was 19. When he died we had been married for almost 20 years and still loved each other deeply (people had said that it wouldn't last!)
