    You can define love so many different ways. I think any child can develope the "love" you have for you friends and family, but I think only mature older teens can truly know what the "love" you have for a mate feels like.

    For instance, I don't think a girl my age (14) can really know if she "loves" her boyfriend/girlfriend.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say it's Impossible, anything is possible.

    I think kids often mistake affection for love... "We've been going out for a year and we TOTALLY love each other" lol...

    Not true. Square circles are impossible.

    Ok, so my remark was TOO broad. I think this is a possible situation, but it's a rare occasion.

    If they can't, then they are as emotionless as the music they listen to.

    Maybe, but it's slim. Silly immature kids cannot handle the epic power of love... they cannot even take care of themselves... kids in love: blind leading the blind. Expect regret from choices made in youth, naturally: little judgment, foresight, immature (un-developed) manners... why risk your future falling in love with a future loser. Don't think you can change someone, that's settling for too little anyway, you deserve better, someone who exceeds your expectations.
    Youth meet at random, in narrow surroundings, flirt, go home and dream of one another, little to divert attention, anxious when they're apart, and conclude they're meant to be together so happy together. but longer time and more experience, wider views open opportunities, smarter questions and selections. kids might fall in love early on but chances are they've made a piss poor decision.

    I think they can, because love is undefined, completely individual, ones perception of love cannot impede on anothers, our perceptions of love shift, and so our first sprouts of it, are no more or less real, than ones love in their 20s, and on and on and on.

    I guess you can consider puppy love a type of love. Such as friend love and spouse love.. my friends parents found eachother in the 7th grade, they might not have found love then but they did later in life. Now they are in their 50's and still more in love then they ever been. Possible but very rare. ;)

    Course they can. Don't forget, little boys have erections since tehy're born. There must be a reason why that happens, right?

    I think they can, but people who are inexperianced in these kind of things mistake things for love, and 'kids' are more likely to be inexperianced. However, this could be said for a thirty year old and older.
    Also, i think it's less likely because 'kids' aren't as developed as characters as others. Or they are, but they're changing all the time into the person they'll be. They're working out where they are in the world emotionally and stuff, and it's hard enought doing that without bringing someone else into the mix and confusing you.

    i think its more than possible. i don't think its necessarily unconditional, lets-get-married love, but love takes on many forms. i hate when people say things like "puppy love" and a "crush", unless they don't know the person.. otherwise i think all adoration for others is a type of love.
