Should teenagers start a boy and girl relationship at a young age?

depends on what ';young age'; is. i think the best age to start a relationship is 16 and up. my first relationship (which i am still in) started when i was 16 and we've been going out for almost a year and we're totally in love. when youre younger you think youre in love, but it's just lust. not in all cases but you know how girls and guys get ';girl crazy'; and ';boy crazy'; switching crushes like there's no tomorrow syaing that they love their crushes when they have no idea who they are. so i think the older you are the better it is to have a relationship.Should teenagers start a boy and girl relationship at a young age?
Serious ones involving sex, heck no! Too many emotions to control and they don't have a clue on how to control the ones they currently have.


BF/GF as closer friends then normal, OK, but do not allow them to get closer just based on the emotional states. There have been a LOT of suicides based on sexual relationships at a young age and they couldn't handle it.Should teenagers start a boy and girl relationship at a young age?
Yes. People will generally say no, because they immediately associate ';dating'; with ';sex';. But dating should be about getting to know each other and finding out what one values in a future spouse. I think that young people should get acquainted, in a safe way, with the other gender. Get to know what's out there, so that they are well informed and better able to make decisions about what they're looking for in a mate, or whether they want one at all. The more time you give yourself to do something, the better you are at making decisions regarding it. People are sheltering their kids too much. But what good is that doing? Look at all the teen pregnancies out there, all the failed marriages, all the abusive relationships. Most of the girls I have known who had children at 14 or 15 didn't have strong parental influences in the sense that their parents didn't guide them. Instead of guiding, these parents sheltered their girls. And of course, the girls feeling oppressed, rebelled, and had sex without protection, without information, without knowledge. They just did what came naturally, without anyone telling them how to protect themselves. These girls were not allowed to date in a safe environment, guided by their parents. So they went out and dated the way they saw on tv, by having sex in parks or wherever and later lied to their moms and dads about where they were.


Most people, if given the correct information and enough experience will make the right choices for themselves. I think though, that before parents let their children date, they need to inform them of all the dangers out there, without scaring, without intimidation with just honesty and concern, the kid will get the point, usually. And if the parents make their values clear to their children, most kids will try do what's right. There is a lot of confusion out there, and a lot of it has to do with parents not properly communicating with their children.


But having a chaperoned date at a young age is okay. Say going to the movies or something. I think 16 or 17 is okay to go on dates without a parent there, as long as there is a curfew of course, even 14 or 15 is okay, if the kids are mature enough. At 18 there's pretty much nothing you can do about it.
No, I did and believe me--No!!!
They should start dating at 15 or 16.
if they think or know they love them and if they think they can handle the pressure and stress then why not??!!
NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF EDUCATION, OPPORTUNITY, AND PERSONAL GROWTH----
