Teen Dating
Quote From: pistachioi am a teen, and i agree for the most part. however, this may not be the right thing for all teens. i am only 15 and i have allowed to date, well, since i became interested in dating. i have done fine, my parents trust me, and they have good reason to. Many of us teens are more resopnsible than you'd think, so before just setting the "no dating till your 16" rule, talk to them and know exactly how mature they are, because they may surprise you. Sometimes when you parents don't think we're ready, we really are, and if my parents set a rule like the "16" one, it would make me feel that they dont trust me, so talk to them and have an open mind. <3 In our home, dating is done to find a future mate....no child needs to be looking for a future mate. Since we don't want to encourage marriage before college graduation, we discourage dating for as long as possible. I agree that it doesn't work for everyone, but it does for us. :)
