Review about The Scientist exactly... | Reviewer: cesco in new york | 11/15/09
Now, this guy below me has hit the nail. Right on the head. Fantastically put. Love IS different for everyone - it can happen to anyone at anytime at any age. Love is such an intangible, ambiguous, complex concept that it's impossible to establish a set standard, a "real" love. Adults may love differently, that is true, but they cannot say that they love MORE than youths can. There's no limit to love based on age - we CAN love as much as we want, and we DO love powerfully. The difference between youthful love and adult love is just a different point of view. We're naturally a bit more passionate, and adults are naturally more about commitment, now that the passion has worn off. I'm committed to my Annie, I know I'm not going anywhere ANYTIME soon (and I know she isn't, either) - it's true that as time progresses and as she and I grow older together, passion, naturally, will slowly subside, leaving commitment and intimacy. A lot of that, to put it literally, is because of brain chemistry (I won't go into that right now), but the magic is still there. Who can say that intimacy, commitment, and passion aren't all there with Annie and me NOW? You can't because, simply put, you are not us. I'm passionate about Annie; if you could see us together, you'd see we're quite intimate. And I know we're committed to each other (sure, in a different way than adults). Love is different for everyone. Anyone at any age can love, albeit in a different way. I know I love Annie and I don't plan on ever leaving her. How is it right for someone else to tell me that what I feel is fake? It's not, and they're wrong. But thanks to the guy below for clarifying.
Love is what it is, when it is. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/13/09
We each experience our own version. There is no objective standard. No amount of intensity that at last crosses the threshold of "real."
I hope everyone is out there finding out what love is for them. The more of us deeply engaged in that exploration, well, it changes everything.
No need to put each other and our feelings into boxes. We're all good enough at that ourselves, already.
Much love, everyone. Heartspeed.

See, I hate all these stereotypes about our age group. I'm not being a naive 14-year-old boy (just turned 14) when I say this: I LOVE HER. It's doesn't go ONLY as deep as her just making me smile and cheering me up and making me happy. Yes, she brings those feelings out in me, but on top of that there is so much more. I guess you wouldn't know unless you were us, because every couple is different. You know what? I'm frustrated with all of you critics and the rest of society and all of your stereotypes, so I want my biggest question answered. I want one (or more) of the next commenters to answer that question for me, and it is this: "WHAT IS IT ABOUT US TEENAGERS THAT MAKES PEOPLE ASSUME THE STEREOTYPE THAT WE CAN'T REALLY LOVE???" I want to know what the answer is from you "all-knowing adults", because you and all of your personal experiences OBVIOUSLY know EVERYTHING about this. SURE, TOTALLY. When in reality, you have NO IDEA what I feel for her. You're just going by a generalization, a stereotype, an assumption about teenagers as a WHOLE when you say we can't love. The lovers among us teenagers - our image has been tainted by the image of the rest of the teenagers who are only after sex. And you adults go by that assumption. We are not all like that... Answer my question please, as I said before. I want to know.

I think hat as teenagers, we think we know it all. we find someone with whom we enjoy their company and we fall in love. but we're all young and we're all naive. As teenagers, or i guess in this special 13 year olds case, we think we know love. that this person makes us happy and therefore that is love. they grow on us. make us smile, and cheer us up when we're sad, but that doesnt mean it's love. Im not a believer in "true love" but i do not plan to know what love really is. i see that it can last years and years and i can see that it can fail. my family alone seems to only inherit divorce. but other can last and can be happy enough. but i am not a believer in "true love" for teenagers. but what do i know. im only a cynical 18 year old right.

It does sometimes happen. My aunt and Uncle fell in love when they where thirteen and they're still together... =) I don't believe that as teenagers, we can fully understand love as adults do, but that doesn't mean we can't fall in love...
I love this song...It's very sad, but it can also be hopeful.

matt,
Ok, to be fair, the odds of it are heavily stacked against us, and it's true that feelings do change over time, naturally. and, as i can understand, changes suck. And it scares me a bit to think about it. Yet, you always hear stories of people who fell in love as a kid and they ended up spending the rest of their lives with each other, y'know, against the odds. I do understand that the probability is small for that to happen, but it has to happen to SOMEONE, or else it wouldn't be a valid statistic. So i don't think its accurate for you to say that, "dude it won't last, it never does." because for that small percentage of people, it DOES last. But hey, to level the playing field, we'll see who's right and who's wrong in ten years: you or me.
(p.s. you spelled response wrong :P)

matt,
I know how the saying goes: "Live life like you'll die tomorrow", but I want to hold on indefinitely to the people I love, not abuse them UNTIL they're gone. If you abuse someone, that makes it all the more likely that they'll leave...

matt,
besides, you've never met us and you've never seen us when we're together. you'd know what we have together if you could see. Not ALL kids follow that stereotype (or assumption, whatever you may call it) that you had said before: that, at our age, "it never works out". Sometimes, magic happens between some people, even at our age. But, like I said before, we'll see who's right and who's wrong in ten years...
(just curious, how old are you?)
