why should we disagree that teenagers are not yet ready to get steady in a relationship?

Answer 1

because it's something to. Seriously, you need to restate the question.

Answer 2

Teenagers are not adults. A steady, real relationship takes a lot of work and maturity. It is very difficult for adults to have a steady, healthy relationship. If you are not an adult and you try to have a steady relationship - it usually ends up being unhealthy. And that is very, very bad. And teenagers can't understand that.
Also, teenagers are teenagers! They should be enjoying their life - enjoying dating. And figuring out what it is that they want in their life. As they turn into adults, their views and wants in life will change. It is one in a million to find someone that will grow and want the exact same things, and have the same morals, beliefs, etc that you do. So, too many kids end up compromising for the other person and that's a shame.
I know two couples who are high school sweethearts and it's ended up great. And that's awesome.
But, I think I know about 100 people that thought they were in love while in high school. 50 percent of them dated, knew when to let things go, and are happy with it. 50 percent of them made big mistakes or couldn't let things go and they do regret it.
Like a lot of things with teenagers - they'll think adults don't know what they're talking about. But, like everyone I know - when they grow up, they say - wow, maybe I didn't have the world figured out when I was 16.
It's hard to be a teenager. It's hard to be in a steady, healthy relationship. It's very, very hard to be both.
And when you're a teenager - why would you want to? Have fun, be in love, have your heart broken, but grow yourself and live your own life.

Answer 3

I dated my first boyfriend from the time I was 13 until I was 16. I broke up with him because he started planning out our lives together, planning what would happen after graduation, our kids names, even. Since then, he has gone on to do something drastically different than what he intended to do, and so have I.

The thing is, most teenagers can't see but two inches in front of their noses-it makes temporary situations seem more permanent; like being unpopular. They start reacting to life in that 'life-or-death' manner. That way of thinking robs them of the life experiences they can have that will teach them about the world, and their place in it.

Teenagers don't have the life experiences that lets a person know who exactly they are...you can't plan a life if you don't know that's what you truly want. When most adults can't make a relationship that started when they are adults, how do you expect a teenager to?

Answer 4

Well, as teenagers we are always subject to infatuations rather it's very rare that we are very serious about a relationship specially we boys, it hardly matters to us what would we do if something goes wrong as we always know how to get a new partner.We experiment and dumping partners becomes a normal trend in our life .But when you grow up and have achieved a little in your life and you want someone to be with you and walk the path of life with you then you find yourself in a steady and committed relationship.So enjoy life my friend but never risk your life.

Answer 5

Its because there will always be teenagers who will always think that they are ready to go steady in a relationship and that there will always be adults (who have already been there and done that) who know that teenagers are not. LOL.

Answer 6

Because of the life's experiences they need a little more time to be steady as a rock in that topic... even the old men or old women never find the way to be steady. because they're so closed to get knowledge because of the fear. so maybe time is the answer why should kids run before walking?

Answer 7

We shouldn't. We should agree that they are not ready for adult relationships because they aren't. It is however natural to begin experimenting with it at that stage in life. I am greatful now that I never dated much then. I think it makes for healthier adult relationships when a person doesn't bring a great deal of wounds from unhealthy and immature relationships.

Answer 8

I don't understand your question? But I'll attempt an answer. There are no teenage kids ready for a full commitment relationship.. ie marriage and children. everybody should wait until at least there mid 20's

Answer 9

Hey i am one of those teenagers and i am perfectly capable of having a serious relationship if i want to. It dosn't matter your age it matters on how mature you are. there are some guys out there who are in there late 20s early 30s who are just as immature as most teenagers but then again some of us teens are pretty mature to im not saying we know everything cause we defintly do not. but i beleive if we actually tried we could have serious relationships.

Answer 10

I think it's ok for teens to have relationships, but you have to watch for warning signs that something may be going wrong. Nowadays to many young relationships are ending in death. especially in my area of the country. There have been at least a couple of young girls in my area that have been shot by their boyfriends. Luckily one lived, but sadly the other one died. Love is just a game to some young people and emotions are not something to fool around with. Unfortunately love is a complicated thing.

Answer 11

I don't think we should disagree. If you raise your kids to differentiate between right and wrong and teach them about accepting responsibility for their actions. In lieu be open-minded and willing to discuss the not so comfortable "subjects" with your teenager. Keeping open the lines of communication will be more valuable in the long run.
