so much this
most people seem to overlook that love is a hormonal thing, not some mystical force between two people
my interpersonal communications classes (an alternative to English II for sophomores at LT) was actually recently discussing love and other emotions in teenagers.
i learned a lot from my students. :cookieMonster:

No, really!  I even know how to code!

So do a lot of people, like Iban

I am actually pretty smart.
bullstuff, but unrelated anyway. your brain (specifically the frontal lobe, if i recall correctly [don't quote me on it]) is still VERY underdeveloped, especially since you apparently haven't even hit puberty yet.

Just go up to her and say "I love you!"

woo biology class
we learned this about a month ago (I mean, it's pretty common knowledge, but we learned the technicalities)
also
comedy101, while you have no idea how love works, here's something to get you started

actually it's the hypothalamus, where oxytocin is produced

I might as well address this further. Nothing he mentioned had anything to do with you being smart. You obviously aren't very smart since you can't comprehend what he is talking about.

No, we're not.
Children are too innocent and immature to know what love is, they can feel it but they will never be able to accurately identify it when they are feeling it, especially before maturity which is a time when a lot changes in a person, both physically and psychologically.

Children are not able to fall in love because of the huge number of variables at that point in their life, once you're past 16 or so then your hormones are settling down and your psychological changes are finalizing themselves, only past that point can you truly and accurately begin to feel or understand love
Unless you can get me some scientific proof of what you just said, I find it hard to believe any of that. How can an undeveloped child not feel love? Can a child not love hist mother or his father because he doesn't have any pubic hairs? Sure, some children go around saying they have a true love when they just think its cool to have a girlfriend or something similar. But a child not being abe to love at all? Total bullstuff  in my opinion. Love for him is not what your love for your girlfriend was, or how much you loved your mother or soemthing. It's defined by the person, what he is experiencing is love, he doesn't just "want a girlfriend", he can be in love.

Unless of course you can provide osme scientific evidence of children not being able to experience real emotions.

childrens' brains and glands aren't developed yet - for instance, the hypothalamus won't be producing any oxytocin, and the pituitary gland won't be storing any oxytocin. (oxytocin is the main hormone associated with emotional relationships)
there's your scientific proof.

Children loving their parents is not the same as loving some little girl in their class. That bond is formed sometime after the mother has given birth, I don't remember the full science on this but that's the gist of it.

actually it's the hypothalamus, where oxytocin is produced
heck, i'll buy it
it's my elder brother that majored in psychology, so if he were around i could mug him for info, but whatever

you're not right in saying it won't produce ANY, but it's definitely severely reduced before puberty

seems legit
