Are our teens dating (or having boy/girlfriends) too young?
I keep on hearing that teens todya have boyfriends and girlfriends at 13 years old. Now, at first, I thought that it was a joke, but it's not.
I think that they are much too young to date at 13 (or have a boyfriend or girlfriend for that matter). When I was going to middle and high school, I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16. My friends couldn't date until they were 16. There were VERY FEW people that date before they're 16.
I think that if you (and other people) have a boyfriend or girlfriend too early, then that person who would be singled out would be pressured to try hard and it could lead to negative consequenses (i.e. low self-esteem)
What do you guys think and what age did your parents allow for you to date?
