Teenage love is Shakespeare's way of making Romeo and Juliet fall in love so quickly and perhaps is the reason why the play is only four days long. And also that they were being reckless because they were young and never really stopped to think about what they were doing.
Friar Lawrence: "Young men's love then lies

Juliet: "My only love sprung from my only hate.
Too early seen unknown, and known too late.
Prodigious birth of love is to me that I must love a loathed
