Look hey I don't mean to be rude but you have a very small chance of that relationship working forever but hey your young you have a lifetime to find someone there is someone out there just live life you want to date then date you know but most young relationships today don't last long most have something we all call material love you think you understand it but truly most younger "lovers" don't even fully understand love so there is my opinion lol

In my opinion any relationship started before age 14 is just playing at relationships. It is children trying to emulate adult behavior before they are ready. It is rushing the process of growing up and losing some of the innocence of childhood.
Finally, it is impressionable children seeing the glorification of adult relations (especially involving sexual activity) in the media and trying to get in on that WAY before they are emotionally ready to handle the risks and consequences of such relationships.
No I don't think it's a huge joke. It can feel very serious to the ones involved. But I don't think it is lasting because children in that age are rarely mature enough to handle what's involved. As I said, its playing at being adult.
And finally, its up to the child's parents when they are allowed to start romantic relationships.

I truly don't think someone at that age is emotionally mature enough (no matter how mature they THINK they are) to have a real relationship.
Not only that, but now with kids starting sexual relations in middle school as well, you really don't want to take any chances. There are just some things you want to wait to do, and, in my opinion, romantic relations of any kind are one of them.

Everything a kid does is practice for being a real adult and being in an adult world. It feels real at the time, but its just play, until you are 18! Don't play so hard you screw up your future.
