A Young Heart

OMG! You are so right! My mom says that I'm to young to love HIM. But she doesnt know anything! And I know how you feel because i have to hear almost everday that I dont really know what love is! And that really makes me mad! But it's nice to know that i'm not the only one who thinks this!

OMG i LOVE DiS iTZ SO TRUE!

ahem sister.

Adults are not trying to be dismissive, they just have more experience in these matters and can be a little forgetful when it comes to remembering how powerful these feelings were for them.

I totally agree with you.

you must be psychic
i'm trying to figure out my feelings right now. i'm 13 and i know that sounds young but there's one guy that i've been friends with for 2 years and recently whenever i'm around him my ears get hot and my stomach is tingling. i can't stand not being around him and i'd give anything to be with him and just him being there makes me happy. that's the best i can describe the feeling i get when im around him but i can't think of anything other than love. that sounds melodramatic, but its true and it drives me insane because he likes (last he told me) someone else!!!

Hey jenny06

You are right. No one can know for sure what your feelings are but you. But I also understand your parents concern. Remember we adults were also teens at one time. We have been in your shoes. As a teen you go through some powerful hormonal changes, that really can cloud your judgment, especially the boys. It's easy to mistake lust for love. Avalon is a perfect example. Her physical feelings are lust. The ears, the tingling stomach. But I believe the main driving force for her is the guy being unavailable. Even we adults deal with this one. The more unavailable a person is the more we want them. What's crazy
is when we finally get on with life without them most of the time we're relieved.

No one whether teen or adult is ready for a true love relationship until they don't need to be in one. You see, the minute you need someone in your life, your life no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the person you need. I've
been single for 15 years. I do not need a girlfriend or a wife to be happy. If the good Lord wants to hook me up that's OK, but if I never get hooked up again, that's OK too. I have plenty of friends and family, but Most of all I have Jesus. Your happiness is your responsibility, not a boyfriend's or a husband's but yours. The way to happiness is right choices.

I'm not saying you should stay single. I'm saying learn to control your emotions and your physical desires, instead of your emotions and physical desires controlling you. The majority of teens are not there yet, which is why we say you're not ready for love, and the ones who are have Jesus at the head of their
life.

Your mother's concerns come knows from experience and the wisdom she's gained from already going through what you're now experiencing.

This is the problem with you young people. If you want advice about something why would you not go to someone that has already been there. Instead you ask friends your own age who know no more about life than you do.

Jenny06 please read my article, What Teens Need to Know About Sex
I have a feeling you're contemplating it, or may be already there.

God Bless!!!
