CRUSH
Puppy love is an informal term for feelings of love, particularly between young people during pre-adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the adoring, worshipful affection that may be felt by a puppy. The term is often used in a derogatory fashion, describing emotions which are shallow and transient in comparison to other forms of love such as romantic love.Another use of the term (also commonly described as a "crush"), can be used to describe the love or lust of a child or adolescent for another of their kind or an adult. For example, a student being attracted to his or her teacher could be considered puppy love. The term may meet with resistance from some people as patronizing and belittling of genuine emotion.
