Should parents have rules when their teens date? Letting your teens date is not a bad idea. I think having rules could be a good thing. As long as they aren't over the top that makes your kids wonder if being in a relationship is even worth it, or they keep everything from you and it just isn't going to go well at the end. If you and your kids keep stuff up to date, meaning that you guys have some nice easy rules everything will be okay and you will know how your kid is doing with their relationship. By nice easy rules I mean every time they hangout at the house no closed doors, when they go out they have to tell their parents where their going and when they will be back, if they are going to be late maybe call and say why they will be late. My older cousin had a boyfriend but she never told her parents just because she knew they would go all strict on her because he was older and not a good influence. She would lie to them and say that she was going to her friends house and instead would go to her boyfriend's house. Months went by she never told them. Until one day she came home with her boyfriend and told her parents …show more content…
My dad never let her date he said until she was 18 she would be able to do anything she wanted. My stepmom was kinda excited to see boys actually liked her daughter and that her daughter was finally getting old. One day we had a party and she invited him over so he could get permission from her mom and our dad to be in a relationship. My dad didn't like him but my stepmom loved him and so he got her permission. After a while they started going on dates, my stepmom made rules for them, obviously. She always knew when they were leaving and where they would go and what time the'd be coming back. When it was a movie night type of date the door was always open just in case. Five years later they are still dating, in college, no babies and they still love each other like they did in the

If they never told us anything, then they thought we would know nothing. But we always knew. We weren’t surprised when our parents told us they were getting divorced, we had know for months and months. Our father was coming home later and later, drunker and drunker. And his business trips were not to were he said they were. But we never talked about it, it was always easier to ignore the truth. Keep with the lie, keep with the hope.
My Dad was over protective and did not want his daughters to be in a relationship until we had our own job and could support ourselves financially. As time passed and my older sister, Madeline, grew up, he began to be more lenient and decided to let his first daughter be in a relationship at the age of eighteen. He informed Madeline that he would accept any man who loved her except a man from the family Chicas. My dad’s family and their family had been in a feud for years because the Chicas had killed members from our family, and our family killed members of their family. My father viewed them as barbarians, who would do no good to his
This is because not only they will quit high school at different times and go to colleges. How many long distance relationship are working well? Also it is just weird to have a 16 year old dating an 18 or even 20 year old. The same goes for them dating younger children.
Did you know that in 1950 the rates of teen pregnancy were higher than today? When researching for statistics this information was found in my sociology book. During the 1950’s abortion was illegal and therefore unplanned pregnancies led to marriage. My grandmother had her first child at fifteen. I couldn’t imagine being fifteen and raising a child. Teen pregnancy has plummet on the charts to an all-time low, but about eighty percent of these women are not married. This takes being a teen mom and now turns her into a single teen mom. You do not hear about many teens “love” relationships lasting. Teens are very immature and are in a
Teens wouldn’t be able to do such things like shopping and other hobbies if they are providing for someone other than themselves. A teen are not able to handle financial pressure to take care of a child of their own. I honestly can say that teenagers are still children themselves and are not ready for the mother/father lifestyle, so they should make an effort by avoiding that
Many people confuse love and infatuation. Infatuation is foolish or all-absorbing passion. Those who abuse others in relationships do not know love but know infatuation. Some can learn to love and learn that their obsession or desire to control their partner is wrong, however not all victims are that lucky. Teen dating violence is a wrong that needs to be righted. The only way to do this is to provide a background, a way to help those who have suffered, and raise awareness to help detect, stop, and prevent.
... go with that. Sometimes a kid can be left out of one of the step families.
Does a strong and costly sexual double standard still exist among adolescents? I believe that a double standard when it comes to sex still exists among adolescents. Moreover, there are tons of different double standards that still exist today.
Dating back then versus dating now seems to clash when put side by side. The way people meet, their intentions, and the whole dating process has changed over the years and has only partially stayed the same for a few people. Dating back then had something more to it than dating today does. Dating back then was for love and dating now is for fun. Love no longer seems to be the main focus when dating for today’s teens and is rarely found around that age. Although it is being searched for in the world of dating, without the right approach
Every parent always don’t approve who they date because parents play an important role on who and who not to date. There is a saying “mothers knows best”, meaning the moment they set foot inside the house, parents can tell immediately something is wrong. It is not the bright idea to bring home with someone that had a history of getting in trouble because the individual can influence the partner to repeat their history all over again and that is a bad example to set for themselves and the family. There are multiple factors that can cause the family to disprove; religion, race, and sexuality. It is important that the family approve the relationship, otherwise the relationship will lack the involvement of each other’s
People lie everyday to, in someway or another, keep themselves out of trouble. Many teenagers will lie to their parents about what they are doing for the evening, how much of their homework they have done, or how that glass vase got broken while they were out of town. We even lie to our significant others about who that other boy was that called the house or what exactly we did with our friends last night. All anyone is trying to accomplish by this is to stay out of trouble when we know we’ve done wrong. But we never think of the effects of lying. Although we think we’re being sly, parents are usually smarter than we give them credit for! And eventually our boyfriends and girlfriends will find out! Then the problem becomes the issue of trust. If you lie, there is no trust. That can be one of the serious consequences of lying.
Emma Sorbring stated it best when she said that a teenager would be willing to disclose their experiences with their parents if they have always had good experiences talking things over with them and
Sometimes better to tell lie than to tell a truth for some kind of reasons. That is for some time for an entertainment only. But telling a lie is not good for all the time. There is one more thing in my life that was a great impact to me when I was sixteen years old that is telling a lie with family. At that time I had many friends, and usually I liked to roam with them. At that time, I had no value of money. Even I was not mature enough to understand how to spend it. These all things which resulted into bad habits. My parents had trust on me, so I always gave excuses about study. But reality was totally different from parent’s belief. After spending some days, from school teachers complained about my work to my father. Teacher told me that I was not working hard in school. Day by day I was getting off the track in the field of study. From that day my father had a doubt on me. One day my father called at my friend’s house, but he already knew that I am not at my friend’s place. I was gossiping outside area of our house. After some time when I went to my house and all my family members were looking at me in anger. Their behavior towards me was not good, and my father was so upset with me. So, I went in my room by head
When I was around 8 years old, me and my sister a huge argument about us going somewhere(I don’t exactly remember the two places) and we both didn’t like where eachother wanted to go, so we were screaming throughout the whole entire house.This was not what we needed to be doing because as a kid, you always want something that your sibling doesn’t want to do. My parents were outside working on something in the garage when all of this was going down, so they were not able to hear us arguing and fighting. As we were arguing, my sister goes storming off to her room and starts to scream and that’s is when my parents heard the sound of the scream and came inside and see what happened. My parents heard my sister crying and knew that she as either very angry or upset so I knew they were going to talk to me first, but they wouldn’t be happy. My
