Teenage Dating

Throughout the path of life, we as young adult develop the need for attention and affection from the opposite sex.As young girls we tend to develop and accept these feelings a bit faster than boys do. However, developing these feelings doesn’t mean we should act on them,  Just because we may start having feelings boys or desire their attention it doesn’t justify jumping into a relationship with them. Having a boyfriend may vary in definition from person to person but the general idea is having a closer relationship with one guy, as compared to others.Peer pressure lives among us and it thrives to wear us down and eventually destroy our own of being. Therefore if one finds themselves saying yes to having a boyfriend it must not be because of peer pressure.Having a boyfriend especially at a young age should be about having a great friendship and sharing fun moments together. In that, as time progress the relationship will have enough time and room to flourish into something worth keeping. Having a boyfriend may seem like all fun and play but from first hand experience I can honestly say that if I could go back in time I would have waited to have one. The laughs that we shared can never out weigh the amount of tears I have shed because of losing a great friend in the end. With that said, I would recommend that as a teenager you should build a friendship first and then wait until your truthfully ready within yourself to cross that line. And for the adults, I would recommend that you become completely honest with yourself and know what you are looking for and why before taking on a relationship. With life comes opportunities and with opportunities comes choices and with choices comes a yes and a no; all one has to do is pick the one that’s right for them and live with the consequences of their actions.
