Is early love a normal psychological phenomenon?

  The reason why early love is not a problem but a normal psychological phenomenon is because, it is inevitable in the process of psychological development, just like people have birth, age, sickness and death. Premature love, to put it bluntly, is a relationship that happens too early. We can’t say that a person is going to fall in love is a problem, so the reason why people think that “early love” is a problem, the problem is “early”, and this “early”, is relative. Compared to your studies, the appearance of love is a little early. But from a psychological point of view, the interest in the opposite sex and the need for intimacy appears at the right time during adolescence.  Adolescence is a time of physical growth and knowledge, as well as a critical period of psychological development. During this period, you are faced with many things, including academic tasks, interpersonal interactions, emotional regulation, overcoming inferiority complexes and building self-esteem, and self-identity. Falling in love, that is, establishing your sexual orientation and learning to build and handle intimate relationships is one of the things that need to be handled especially during this period, and one of the things that cause the most trouble.  Finding out that you like someone is in itself a stressful event for your psyche. Does she/he like me? Can I confess my love to him/her? What if I get rejected? What if he/she tells the teacher? What if my parents find out that I have fallen in love early? If we fall in love, will it affect our studies? …… The above thoughts or concerns come to mind when you find out that you like someone. Remember, this is a signal, a signal that tells you that you have entered this stage of how to handle intimate relationships. Falling in love with someone is a beautiful thing, even though it comes at a bad time. Teachers will talk to you, parents will change their attitude and convince you to break off the relationship with him/her, you will go from a good student to a bad student, or from a bad student to a worse student, as if you have committed a heinous crime and the whole world’s perception of you has changed completely.  So, what should you do as you enter into “early love”?  First, realize that this is not something that should not happen, but something that needs to be handled with care. After this happens, you need to learn to weigh the relationship between study and love, and to fall in love on the basis of study. This way, you take responsibility for yourself and for each other. Teachers and parents will have nothing to say. The best way to block the mouths of parents and teachers is to speak with grades. Because their biggest concern is the fear that early love will affect your schoolwork, which is the crux of the matter. In other words, they do not let you fall in love, but worry that you can not handle the relationship between love and study, affecting the study and do not let you fall in love. In a sense, in the eyes of parents, no matter how old a child is, he or she will always be a child.  They need time to gradually change their perception of you. The best way to make him realize that you are growing up, starting to have your own opinions, and also gradually have the ability to deal with problems independently is not to argue with them, but to tell them through facts that you can break out on your own, and can do so in a decent way.  Second, realize that you are starting to have your own opinions and can go up against some issues in most cases. But sometimes, due to limited experience, there are bound to be issues that you will struggle to handle independently. Like asking a 2-month-old baby to run, it is unlikely to happen. This is a reality that has to be faced. For example, it is impossible to make a person talk at birth, it is a fact that cannot be changed, the law of things makes it so. This is the time to actively seek help. Generally speaking, parents are willing to offer help to their children. However, because this topic is sensitive, most parents will hold stereotypes, so if you feel that the problem can not be solved, or you have some confusion in your mind, you can try to ask for help from your peers, to get peer support, to see how others in the same problem is solved; you can also turn to counselors, to get some professional help; of course, also try to go to parents for help. There may be some difficulties, but remember, most parents want their children to be good, even if there are some setbacks, that will also bring you the opportunity to grow, that is, to learn to deal with different opinions.  Thirdly, parents are worried that in addition to early love affecting school, they are more worried that their child will be emotionally and physically hurt because of poor handling of the relationship. Among them, most parents are most worried that their children will have premarital sex, especially parents of girls. You are curious about everything during adolescence, especially in China where sex seems to be unexplainable and thus more mysterious, and more likely to stir up the desire for knowledge in adolescent children. It is better not to try this. Because you are, after all, not yet old enough to be able to establish a family, and if you really love each other, it is more important to think about each other and to be responsible for yourself. Pregnancy is a happy event for adult married people, for adolescent children, it is a burden. After all, abortion can be physically and mentally damaging for a girl. And for boys, it can also create a sense of fear and guilt psychologically. It is a wonderful gift to yourself, and your future him/her, if you can retain this curiosity within yourself and wait until you are able to start a family.  Remember, falling in love is a beautiful thing, if it comes early when you are not ready, then don’t hide and don’t panic, it is something you are bound to face in your life, sooner or later, coming early, you will have the opportunity to learn to deal with it earlier and be one step ahead on the path of psychological development. Remember to grasp the principles, seek help in time, and try to strive for a smooth transition.
