LOVE IS FOR LOVE

W.H. Auden mentioned, �A false enchantment can all too easily last a lifetime.� First love could happen at any age. Rosemary Rogers said, �First romance, first love, is something so special to all of us, both emotionally and physically, that it touches our lives and enriches them forever.� On the other hand, George Bernard Shaw held that first love is a little foolish and a lot of curiosity. Memories of first love are always delicious. Very few experiences in our lives are as intense and overwhelming as our first love.

First love in teenage is much more fierce than the first love in adulthood. However, the teenage love usually evaporates very fast. A survey result reveals that first love relationships last only for 3 or 4 months for persons at the age of 15. Psychologists identify the 3 phases of first love as lust, attraction, and attachment. The close intimacy developed during the period of first love must necessarily involve openness, trust and a sharing attitude. This would lead to maturity and help the relationship last longer.first love

Normally first love is not the childhood infatuation on a teacher or a movie star. It is the first relationship or attraction of a romantic nature experienced in adolescence. Memories of first love are mostly fond ones but in certain cases, the memories could be highly painful also. Those who had experienced feelings of happiness, enthusiasm, excitement, and pride in their first love are much more likely to have stable, enduring relationships in their later lives. On the other hand, those who went through feelings of shame, guilt, hostility or fright during their first love tend to have weak relationships with others.

Even though it is true that we could fall in love any number of times in our life, the memories of first love would always remain fresh and occupy a special place in our hearts. A Turkish proverb says that young love is from the earth, and late love is from heaven. When we are young, we have high energy levels and our hormones are on overdrive. This could lead to an exhilarating feeling but there are dangers if emotions are not properly controlled at this stage. The obvious dangers are premature pregnancy, HIV, drug addiction, etc. Still, one danger that most people never consider is a wrong relationship. Unless you are clear as to what you expect from your first love, you might end up only with a sad experience.

I HATE LOVE

One of the relationships that lasted about a month (on and off) has taken several months from which to recover. It was so difficult for the girl to recover form it.What if he was my first true love? What if he is my only true love? What if I am destined to live the rest of my life alone because our fated romance died? You see, many real feelings were put on the line during that very short period of time and she was so much involved in that sort of love.

Because she was only 16 does this mean that her feelings are not mature? Is teenage love a different kind of love? I believe that teenage love is the first step to developing normal healthy relationships in the future. I've heard many people on TV talk how they will never forget their first love. Maybe that's because it taught them how to love. So perhaps teenage love is a steppingstone toward the paths we may choose in our lives. Love, whether new or old, is a way to share important things with a person you are close to and trust. All people need that. Teenagers need love more than anyone. Who else better to get love from than another teenager who's going through the same transitions that you are? Who's to say what kind of love is valid? All love is valid? This is what they had to say.

I LOVE HATE

s it puppy love? Is it trial love? Is it true love? It seems that most teenagers are getting involved with members of the opposite sex as a form of entertainment. But when getting involved with anyone it puts feelings on the line. A friend once told me that she was going out with a guy not because she loved him, but because she wanted something to do on weekends. When the relationship was over, she cried. Why did she cry? Was she actually in love with him? Or did this mean that she would have to pay for her own movie ticket for a while?

Some people think of Teen Love and smile. It's not real love, they say. Puppy Love, they call it. Is it puppy love? Is it trial love? Is it true love? It seems that most teenagers are getting involved with members of the opposite sex as a form of entertainment. Those people, I think, have very short memories, and no longer recall the realities of their first love experiences. While few expect teen love to last a life time, that hardly makes it less real. Half or more of all adult love doesn't last a lifetime either. Teen love is very real and powerful. Perhaps at no other time in our lives are the joys and pains felt as strongly, or experienced more deeply. Who among us, after all, can ever forget our first love? Thus the first love which has happened during your teen age cannot be totally forgotten.
