Do you feel woozy every time your object of affection passes by your desk in class? Do you swoon with delirious happiness whenever they say as much as a 'hi' to you? Well, guess who's having a crush?

Crushes are a natural part of growing up. During your teenage years, your body goes through physical and emotional changes. One such change is an acute awareness of oneself, and the need to be loved.

A lot of the trials and tribulations of adolescence can be attributed to teenage love. Seemingly insignificant, teenage love can, in fact, mark the beginning of great, mature, and everlasting love. The following love quotes for teens expound on the impish and youthful love that brews between two young hearts.
