Parents
have this twisted belief that anyone under the age of about
twenty simply can’t know what love is, like the age to love
is assessed in the same way the law assesses the legal age to
drink. They think that the ‘emotional growth’ of a
teenager’s mind is too underdeveloped to understand love,
to know if it’s ‘real’ or not. That's
completely asinine. The truth is that adults love in different
ways, not the only way.
