This seems to be a big topic at my school that everyone has such a negative view on and I wanted to see what others believed. I respect everyone’s opinions and just wanted to see your perspective.
 
I don’t understand the question.

I’m assuming you mean romantic love.
 
You would have to define those terms. They seem to mean something different to many.
 
I certainly believe in true love! Unfortunately, I think our society and culture confuses infatuation and lust as love. True love is concerned with giving to the other, sacrificially often times and is self-giving. Infatuation and lust are concerned with what makes the individual ‘feel good’ and is self-centered.

True love is first and foremost an action; the feeling (as wonderful as it is when it is done right) should be secondary. I can believe its a big topic and viewed negatively because our society and culture glamorize the self-centered feel good lie.
 
If you’re young enough to still be at school and you’re all sitting around wondering if first loves can ever be true loves and if they will last, then the answer is
  • most first loves won’t be “true love”
  • most first loves won’t last a lifetime
  • there will be a few rare exceptions
