do you think it is good ?

I am an Egyptian teenager , i go to "Highschool"(which is considered the 10th grade in Egypt ) , i am a freshman anyway, i wanted to say that our school is mixed,but the problem is that they separate boys and girs from each other by putting girls in classes and boys in other classes , so we (boys) think that girls are something different from us so we r afraid to talk to them and so on , the second problem is that here in Egypt our parents prevent us from having girl friends and they say that we r not supposed to love a girl untill we reach college as they think that college is the place where a guy meets his girl that he is going to marry , the third problem is that you can find a 40 years old men living with his parents .
SO do you think this is good or not ?

Many systems that are stemmed in history & tradition are old fashioned or out-dated in today's society. I live in Australia, I have much more social freedom when compared to you. What your parents believe, is not wrong. To them it is right, the only right way. What you have to realise is that what is right for them, is not always going to be right for you & you have to find a way to compromise [as hard as this seems!]. Or choose the battles that you will fight against them for things you feel strongly about. As for separated girl/boy classes, research over here shows that each gender does better in segregated classes. So this is a good thing as it will allow you to do better at school & get a better/higher paying job when you leave. I am sure the girls are equally intimidated by you. If you have a sister, get her to introduce you to some of her friends. Similarly, offer to hold the door open & smile at the girls at your school. If they smile back introduce yourself. Remeber, your parents love you & their beliefs are important to them as they should be to you out of your respect for them. But you have to live a life that makes you happy. It is a hard juggling act, one that becomes easier with age & maturity. Don't be in a hurry to grow-up too quickly! Good-luck, these will be some of the best & worst years of your life. But we all get through it eventually :)

Forgive me for saying this,, but you are missing out on a lot of things when your school is keeping you (guys) away from The girls,, to me it is wrong, But it is put of you culture, to your 2nd Problem. simple asnswer It's a part of your culture, Please don't take it as a insult. A 40 years old Man and still living with his Parents. No disrespeted. But in your Culture it may be alright,, But here in the united states. if a man is living Folks, Their is something wrong with him.

I think its more to do with religion than anything else. Grow up a little then immigrate to another country and have loads of girlfriends and then find out what is difference between girls and boys. Its fun finding the difference and I am sure you will enjoy it to, so wait till then,

I dont think it is good becuz girls and guys in your country are being told that yall are not equal. Dating is important once reaching high school in some ways because u get to see wat girls are like and how they like to be treated. And a 40 yr. old guy living at home is crazy at that age it is time for him to grow up and take on responsibility on his own.

It is very good to live in harmony and in a joint family .Nuclear families are not strong enough to take all the burden one has to face , that is why lots of young couples go for divorce now a days .

its terrible. why should they seperrate yall this is the time to grow and mainly i think kthey want you to still be a kid. i got my first boyfriend in 4th grade and that doent mean i am any more different. just think if you were the girl who believes in this seperation maybe the want to be safe and not....you know do it with someone by accedent or on porpose. maybe they think you are 5 and still growning but they want you to stay that same little 5 year old. well good luck!
