Tends to be a lesson learned only through personal experience, I've observed. Teens are young and inexperienced. They are still growing and are full of hormones. They're at the age where they feel they can do anything, they are immortal, they know how to make all their own decisions yet have never actually MADE any big decisions and had to deal with the consequences. Love still seems so perfect and entirely possible. So yeah, you meet someone and they seem amazing. Things are going so well and you begin to date, so it makes sense that you begin to base a lot of your life off of them. They become your whole world. But no one is perfect. Things fizzle out, someone cheats, y'all fight - whatever the case, things end. That's just life!
The way I see my relationship with my boyfriend is that we are still individuals. We still lead our own lives. Yes our paths are now alongside each other and very much linked, but they are not joined into one life. We are TWO people. Also, I've always been a little too realistic for my own good and I am very much aware of the fact that we may not be together forever. Would I move with him to New Mexico? Not unless I found a way that it benefits us equally, like me getting a job or internship there and making sure we both have jobs there. I would not blindly follow him to another state, as much as it would hurt to see him go. Of course, this all may have to do with me being in my mid-twenties and I've never been boy crazy.
