"Puppy love" is what Americans call love between a little boy and a little girl. Do the Chinese have an expression to describe such a little boy-little girl relationship?

I would especially appreciate the expression in Chinese characters.

Thanks,
Griz

Thank you Evening.

Is it considered cute?

Or is it frowned upon?

In China, the parents will get 'headache' if their children fall in puppy love.

That's the culture difference. Chinese people always consider Love, Sex, Birth, etc. are not distingue. People even avoid talking them in the public. What's more, lots of people believe that puppy love will do harm to student's hard study.

Hi, Griz326, I' ve watched a lot of American movies about the puppy love, parents say agree to it because their kids are happy. The phrase " puppy love " in China indicates those teenagers about 12 to 18 fall in love in middle or senior shool campus. The TV, website have taught them too much about love, but their parents always believe that the top priority for the student is study or get a high score to make them proud of it and enter the college.
