Although many sites proclaim teen dating is normal, should it be. I've so many instances where kids believe that everything starts with kissing. It doesn't matter how well they know the other kid. Or even if they like the other kid as a person.
Should we allow kids to date when they haven't even developed as a whole person? I read about a ten year old dating and the mother was ok with her being kissed. I'm sorry I really think a child should not date until they at least graduate high school. The high school and college years are the time when a child should be developing their self-esteem, self-reliance, and knowledge.
What do teenagers really think when they date? He/she paid a bit of attention to me. It's so romantic. He/she is such a bad boy...cool. FIRST KISS!! HORMONES RAGING!!!
I think these statistics will really make you think.
