I think they prepare us for adult ones. I learned a lot from my teenage affairs. Namely, what I won't accept in a relationship and what type of guy I want.What's the point of high school ';relationships';?
we're now in the age where parents want to be considered ';cool'; and think of themselves as friends and equals to their children rather than parents and the boss. they frequently fail to set good examples and set firm boundaries for their kids. The media doesn't help with frequently pushing relationships and sexuality onto children at earlier ages. But, what can you do? America is morally doomed, so just enjoy the ride to the bottom.
i definitely agree. i mean, I'm only sixteen. but i have noticed that being in relationships at a young age like that and now are no fun. i just want to have fun being a kid and hanging out with friends! there's no need to start the whole commitment thing and become attached to one person at this age. we have so much time in the future to have relationships, we shouldn't worry about them now when we have so many other things to experience. i guess some people just are meant to be in relationships and start out young, and they may like being in relationships and having a bf or gf rather than hanging out with friends.
At that age, boys and girls have high sexual energy and we live in a society where dating at that age became a normal thing, so why should they not date? Most of these relationships are not serious and don't last long anyway.
To practice.
