what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
what is your opinion of teenage/children dating? my opinion is yet to be properly formed so i am asking to inform my self on the thing i have yet to think of... but nonetheless i think it is stupid for teenagers and children to be dating, some of my friends are dating just for sex... well they used to be my friends... my other friends are dating for some unknown reason but it's obviously not going to be permanent. dating with out future obligations is pointless... plus we are not mature enough to realize that we should be waiting for our lives to be set up a little more before we take a chance to become apart of someone elses.

Re: what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
I was dating before my teens, I started having sex barely into my teens, and overall I find that while looking back, one almost always finds their early relationships (which at the time you are convinced are true and pure love) to be more than a little immature and silly.
Nevertheless, many young teens are perfectly capable of starting to form romantic relationships, and doing so in a relatively risk free environment (ie. free of binding ties like marriage, or especially stringent expectations from either side) is a valuable way to come to understand your own goals and desires for life. Your claim that dating is pointless unless the intention is to wed is one that i strongly disagree with. If you only ever got into a relationship intending to marry that person, I really don't think you are apt to have especially successful relationships. Rather than say that we aren't mature enough to decide to become a part of someone else's life, I would say that it is only through slowly involving yourself in the lives of others can you come to understand whose life you want to become a part of forever. |

Re: what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
yes but what does practicing bad habits do? besides reinforcing the bad habits.
say if a kid never developed proper manners because he had only ever ate with the skills he learned from other kids, it would be a disaster... and very difficult for him to learn those skills. but if the kid learns from an adult he may be better behaved... so what im saying is that to learn the skill you need, you first have to find someone with those skills.

Re: what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
So...kids shouldn't date or have relationships because parents can't be bothered to raise their kids to understand proper behavior?

well it not truly risk free, you can have a kid, you can get a disease, you can set the wrong things as prioity's.

Re: what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
Which is why I specified which risks I was referring to. However, you can practice safe sex that is exactly as safe at that age as it is any any future age.

Re: what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
well it may have been a poor example but what i meant is that is they learn those skills from someone that doesn't have those skill the will just be enforcing poor habits.

Re: what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
Ok your turn greek make him prove his point yet another time...if you haven't figured him out yet. Also to contribute to this thread I think teen dating is ok as long as you know what you're getting into. Some good ways to make it work out is getting to know them before you start a relationship.

Re: what is your opinion of teenage/children dating
EDIT: This is several posts late due to having taken a very long time to write up.
Quote:
...Oh, I think I see. When devonin said that "while looking back, one almost always finds their early relationships (which at the time you are convinced are true and pure love) to be more than a little immature and silly," you took this to mean something about how bad habits are developed in early relationships. What, may I ask, are these "bad habits" you're talking about? Maybe you mean that dating early leads to bad habits because you haven't learned how to date yet? That would make sense with your statement that "to learn the skill you need, you first have to find someone with those skills." If you assume that the "skill" is dating, then I think I understand what you're saying. So let me summarize what I -think- you're trying to say. Children shouldn't be dating because they have no experience with dating, and with no experience, will develop bad habits which will affect relationships later in life. Also, children may make mistakes which could greatly affect them in the long run. Does that sound like what you're trying to say? I'm going to assume it does, and respond to that. I can't believe it's taken this long just to figure out -what- I'm responding to... Anyway, as with anything else, you have to start somewhere. Dating is no exception. You can't expect to know everything there is to know or do everything right when you've never done something before. The point to teenage dating is, as has been said, more or less an introduction to what relationships will be like later. You gain valuable experience that can be used to your advantage in the future, in a way that doesn't involve anything particularly binding. Also, you said something about sex and diseases to help support your argument that children should not be dating. That's like saying, "I set my house on fire because I left oil by the fireplace. Down with fireplaces!" Just because a couple people do something with an item (or in the case of dating, a process) that totally screws them over doesn't mean the item (or process) needs to be made unavailable for everyone else. At this point, I'm just going to post this as-is and see how many other posts have been made while I typed this, so I can respond to those. EDIT: Wow, there were a lot of posts. So let's get started. Well, first off, this makes things a lot simpler for everyone: Quote:
Of course, as the teen gets older he or she gets used to the feelings of attraction, which then weaken considerably to the point where they don't really cause a feeling of struggle. It's sort of like tolerance to drugs; after repeated exposure, the effects lessen. At this point, dating is mainly just for fun or something to do with someone you like. The novelty wears off. At least, that's how it is on the male side. I don't have a clue what it's like on the female side, so don't ask me. Last edited by Relambrien; 08-8-2007 at 06:18 PM.. |
