> Also, any relationship can't be carried on for long. It is often looked down upon, or thought of as just "puppy love." Marriage is completely out of the question, or even anything past a "peck" on the cheek. Even if you are sure somebody is "the one."


Not necessarily. I think that it can depend on the level of commitment, regardless of age. For example, I know a 14 year old who has been with her boyfriend for about 2 years. No one belittles that relationship just because they are young. On the other hand, I don't think you can know for sure at that age that someone is the one for you. Knowing requires, among other things, experience with the way the world works and how people operate in it. I'm think that's not something most people your age are quite familiar with.

I'm not even that familiar with it yet. I'm in college - the place where everyone exists in their respective campus bubble, with no real perspective of their place in the world (myself very much included). That's why I completely object to the practice of getting married within, say, a month after graduation. You haven't truly had time to see what that person's going to be like outside of college.
