Teenage Love--Merely an infatuation?

What is love? Love is nothing but a strong feeling of affection towards another individual.Love can "happen" to any one at any time,any place and at any age.Love is that complicated emotion that is the subject of many movies,songs and books and can also be a reason for many peoples happiness and pain.

Young boys and girls stress on outward looks,behaviour,attitudes and materialistic pursuits.As they get attracted to each other,they develop a bond,get to know each other better and gradually develop an emotional attachment to each other.

Love is a very personal and individual emotion.It can be perceived in different ways by different people.There are different kinds of love - physical and spiritual.In teenage years,the physical aspect of love takes precedence.The love which develops as a result of physical attraction during teenage years more often than not,tend to fade away.

People drift apart,but the ones which go on to the next level i.e emotional bonding last longer.However,as people grow,they change either for better in terms of betterment of the relationship or they meet new people and develop new relationships.

The relationship which goes a step further leads to spiritual bonding.It is not necessary that this happens only during teenage years,it happens also during adult phases of life.

Therefore,it is not right to say that teenage love is just an infatuation. It can be much more than that.
