Why do people think that when you're young you can't be in love?

Love exists at anytime and place. I am 15. I have fallen in love. Once. I am a little rebelliant to it now. Because it did not turn out well. Although I believe. Our parent’s always teach us as kids to believe in the easter bunny. Santa clause. Tooth fairy. And yet always forget to teach us to believe in love. Love has no boundaries. It does not sit in a corner until a certain age and then jump out at you. It just happends. You can’t stop it. Nor ignore it. It’s love. And it is great (: Parents are over pre-tective. They will always want to sheild there children from whatever might take them away from them. (the child away from parents) They feel as if the boy may take place of the parents. Which in fact does happen. This is a topic I feel much strongly about. I used to not believe after my love left me. But then I realized, That you can always find love again. It doesn’t stop at any point in time. Just as life doesn’t stop for anyone or anything. I feel those 2 things clash together pretty well. Love it available to any age (: anygay. That was quite long. But yeah That is how I feel. And also I know I will love again. I am talking to a boy right now. And maybe some things are sparking (: well yep. ttyl!!!
