(My mom always emphasizes the harms of dating at a young age. Whenever I talk a bit more than usual with a boy, she gets worried and asks me about my relationship with him. Is dating at a young age really that dangerous?)
Moms worry about several things for their teenage kids. One is dating young. Another is the issue of possible pregnancy. This is where girls are at a disadvantage. When you are young and in love, or not even in a relationship, you could go out with someone and engage in sex after drinking and partying. Love will happen eventually. When it happens too early, the more crazy and obsessive the relationship is, the more likely that unusual behaviors will happen.
If a little girl who is a middle-school student gets pregnant, it is not just about taking a few days off to see the doctor. It is a big change biologically and mentally. It might cause you to give up your academic career. What you will face, compared to those in university, will be more difficult and challenging. It is hard for people nowadays to finish university and find a job. There are a lot of challenges to face on the road ahead of us.
I think it is best to have a relationship after age 20. It will be safer that way. As long as you have the basic skills and looks, there will be no problem finding someone to marry. You will find someone suitable; don’t worry. He or she will come to you. OK? The person who loves you is waiting for you on the road ahead.
So, I understand that our young boys and girls develop affection for the opposite sex. That is very normal. It is a good thing to begin with. But dating at a young age will impact your future. So I hope that kids who are smart and wise can learn self-control. If you are destined to hear me, then think about this message.
Cultivate mind and body, live healthily and keep learning.
