I guess lots of teens end up falling head over heels in love. Do you think so?

Cause they have very shitty home life situations so they crave for love.
Like something sweet that would make them escape from the shitty reality.

People who are treated poorly fall in love easily because they are not accustomed to kindness and caring people and dont see that love is something bigger, deeper and more meaningful than someone just being nice to them.

It can be that at any age. When I was a teen I didn't really fall in love but I would develop crushes & get infatuated often. Usually with celebs too. Everything felt new & grand. Teens are very impressionable.
SW-User
@SW-User yep that's the thing, they confuse crushes with love. Impressionable mhm and needing to be stimulated, kinda like making their life like movies hehe
SW-User
Yeah. I remember when I was 14-17 I would sit down & write love letters to celebs that didn't even know I existed. I never got to send them. Kinda like living in la la land lol @SW-User

i think the early crushes are just normal for people to have those and then at that age you REALLY dont know how to deal/handle it.

I have an issue when i have talked to some younger females and they say they want to have a baby so that it will love them back or have someone to love... HA!!!! wrong reason .... ya tracking
SW-User
@black4white yeah well they end up loving you but it's not like some teens think... And yeah a lifetime responsability
SW-User
@black4white
and babies dont love you back.... they DEPEND on you ....totally different

Soo, you can't depend on someone *and* love them? Babies are very much capable of love, right from the start of their lives.

@SW-User you are not understanding....babies love whoever cares for them... thats what they do.... if a person took a child and treated them well and that baby does not care who it is after about 2-3 days and they adjust the scents and the likes.... they will love whom ever loves them

I'm guessing it's the hormones and still getting adjusted to them...

I think teens fall head of over heels in what they believe to be love, no matter how good or horrible their home loves are...

As the hormones seems to make most rebel a bit and look for new attention, and when they finally get it and some pleasures, it feels like love to them.
SW-User
@Viper yes, or what they find or what makes them somewhat feel Okey even if it's nothing truly special
Viper · M
@SW-User yes and the scary part, especially with the internet now, is that when smitten with someone, humans fill in the unknown with assumptions ... and those assumptions are usually wrong.

And with online, there is so much more unknown, and therefore weong assumptions.
SW-User
@Viper yes and people can be easily deceived

Not all teens have a terrible home life lol, and it's never really an excuse if you do. Also some teens who engage in harmful behaviors have good home lives.

I don't think falling in love is that bad as long as you're legally an adult...it can help some teenagers mature and gain more experience. In my view, the worst activities for a teen to do are using alcohol and drugs. I did use alcohol in my late teens but never tried any other drugs and never would.
SW-User
@SW-User yeah can varie but the context in some cases makes a difference

I think it's hormones, honestly. The call of nature to reproduce.
SW-User
@CrazyMusicLover yes that too, too much lust and immaturity haha some have the worst heartaches at those ages but then recover fast haha

Happened to me
No. Crushes are frequent and often, but far more are just fucking than falling in love I’d bet
SW-User
@BeefySenpie some will do crazy things for those crushes, and at that point they do think that's love
sunnudenow · 70-79, M
I have known some who married as teens who were happily married for their entire lives. So I say - time will tell and that is the test.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
All part of growing up -- and many, if not most, of us keep doing right into old age.
SW-User
@ChipmunkErnie well the romantic ones mhm
chrisCA · M
It one reason boys join gangs, and girls have babies.
SW-User
@chrisCA exactly, you're right also about the gangs
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M

@Darksideinthenight2 but someone in a shitty home life will want a way out so they're more vulnerable, will seek that love they don't have at home somewhere else and yeah social media can be dangerous
