When should teenagers begin dating?
Sep 1, 2008 04:11
guest1686 The "puppy love"problem is a thorny issue for all teachers and parents in China. Parents and teachers worry that students would "fall in love and lose track of exam results". To educate an adolescent is not an pleasant job. Today's teenagers are rebellious and self-centered. Do you think what is the proper age for teenagers to begin dating? Is 16 too early? When should teenagers begin dating?

Just what is 'dating'? If a boy and a girl go around together is that dating? If they hold hands? I would hope that early/young dating is less advanced. Young dating or closeness with the opposite gender is all part of learning and if parents accept it, they can provide guidance. This has to be better than what I see now where boys and girls do not know how to relate to each other one-on-one because of all the rules forbidding them learning in their earlier years. In many western countries kids have gf/bf well before 16. Lets also remember that their hormones are pushing them well before that. So lets help them learn personal responsibility.

It is a serious problem. Parents should beware of their children's puppy love. The new generation have become mature earlier than us. According to the news, the youngest who have sex experience are only 12 years old, just pupils in primary school.

APAULT, their hormones push them to have the physical desire, but they are not mentally mature. They are not mentally mature enough to be responsible for their actions. It is risky to let teenagers date opposite sex before 18.
