Is Teenage Love Real?

You hear it all the time, well i do at least, that teenage love is silly and is not real love atall.
What is it that makes people think this? Do they remember the very 1st time that someone made their heart flutter as soon as they brought their gaze on them?
I know that i am in love with my boyfriend, its not a silly crush, this is love. Being in love with him for so many years has made me realise that for someone to be so commited to that person in her teenage years must know what real love is.

Does anyone have stories to share or have their veiws on what you think about teenage love?
