In society, young and reckless people “go out” with each other because they are desperate for excitement in their lives. Those who “go out” fail to realize that they shouldn’t be so committed to one another. Therefore, it is a waste of time at such a young age.

In conclusion, love influences people to behave irrationally and to take chances that would otherwise seem irresponsible in the eyes of the mature.

In his article, “Getting Along with Teenagers,” David Webb presented seven effective methods to approach teenagers as teachers. Before he listed the different methods, Webb argued that teenagers would not learn from people that they dislike.
