I think people get into highschool relationships in part because it is what society encourages. Eventually, people suffer from "relationship addiction" -- the constant feeling that they need to be with someone. Then when it doesn't last, it hurts so much because they keep convincing themselves that what they are feeling is love.
However, I don't think teenagers are capable of true love, which is probably why I don't understand highschool relationships. Based on personal experience, I would have to say that most teenagers are not emotionally stable enough to have a real relationship with someone.

they can feel love just like any adult, and just because theyre young doesnt mean they cant truely love someone and want to be with them forever.

I disagree. Teenagers aren't adults (though most seem to think they are) and rarely seem to understand "love" and all that it entails. I think what most teenagers feel is just a strong emotion that is more than just a crush but not quite love. I could be wrong, but from what I've seen, few highschool couples are planning on staying together forever; it's more about sex and looking cool.

Waiting till you are in your twenties to see what kind of person you enjoy may be a little late.

Well, seeing as statistically I will live to be 77.1 years old (or 83.7 years old if I live past the age of 65), I don't think waiting until I'm in my twenties will be too late. It's not like I really have a choice anyway since most guys my age just seem like a waste of space :P
