Teen Dating Guidelines In the article “Teen Dating Guideline” I read that teens should be allowed to date but, under some rules and conditions. The reason for this according to Jessica Childs is that when children aren’t allowed to date then you will put them in a situation where they will become liars. They want to pursue the relationships. My opinion is that children should be allowed to date because they need to start experimenting for when there comes a time that you will have to be in a long term relationship and possible want to get married and have children. One important condition that a child should have when it comes to dating in middle school is that there is no one-on-one dating because they will become to invested in the relationship and will be heartbroken if anything may occur. Kids in middle school usually don’t do take it that far because they don’t know better. When I was in middle school it never occurred to me that when in a relationship you had to do anything besides holding hands and being there for the moral support. Last but least, If children are communicating through social media their …show more content…
They should have a guideline of what ages they can date for example all teens should have the choice of dating someone one year older or younger. Another rule that I agree with is that teens should be allowed to go on car date if they are 16 or 17 and if their parents have meet them. Like stated in the article most importantly long term relationships should be discouraged. To me this is very important because the couple will end up splitting up if they go to college. Long distance relationships can work but are hard. I know this because my sister was in long distance relationship and decided they should separate. It doesn’t always work but there might always be a chance that it will that is the reason i discourage high school long term

Drivers Beware For years, fiery debates over whether the driving age for teens should be sixteen or eighteen captured the nation. Sixteen year-olds have a legitimate argument for keeping the age where it stands, but statistics show that sixteen year olds are not responsible enough to drive, and that more practice is needed before anyone should get a driver’s license. However, from the looks of it, it seems that legislation is going to make the legal driving age eighteen. Sixteen year olds do have a valid argument as to why the age should stay where it is now. Endersby argues that while many teens are in fact safe and careful drivers, they should not be punished for the bad behavior of others.
A this-is-right-and-this-is-wrong standpoint by any one particular body only serves to create feelings of unrest and consternation in one party or the other and hence should not be advocated. The ambiguity of what can or cannot be viewed only lends itself to such controversy. It is for each individual to decide for himself/herself, what content is appropriate and what is not, and in the case of a minor it is the responsibility of the concerned guardian or parent, not the government or any other ruling
Teenagers still should have the chance to grow up and to experience “love” and relationships without their life being jepordized by other parents because they are unhappy about their children's relationship. In other words, they should not be considered an “adult” because they really do not understand the law or what is actually going on in life. Twenty years of age would be more of an appropriate age that people can actually be considered an adult.
11. Relationships can wait. Statistics show that middle school relationship usually don't work out anyway, so why bother? It's fine to have crushes and maybe even fall in love, but don't rush into relationships and do anything crazy.
Despite the problems that would arise, many people are beginning to feel that the drinking age should be lowered from twenty-one to eighteen. Studies have been made; however, no hard evidence suggesting lowering the minimum drinking age would help have surfaced. Although there are countless studies of how alcohol has many harmful effects on teenagers, there is a great deal of negative criticism about what if the drinking age is lowered. Some would say the morally right decision is to not allow teens the chance to hurt themselves. Everyone is entitled to having his or her own opinions and beliefs. However, the overall health of the youth of our country seems a little more important than some personal belief. The drinking age should not be lowered due to the fact drunk driving, juvenile delinquency, and alcohol-related medical issues related to teens will increase.
Think about how many drunk driving incidents you hear about on the news. Now, imagine how many you would hear about if teens age 18 were able to legally drink. Allowing teens to legally drink would be putting the lives of the teen and the lives of others on the road in grave danger. Currently, the legal drinking age is 21, In the United States some states allow exceptions for underage teens to drink. The drinking age has been a debatable topic for all of history. In the 1960s, the MLDA (Minimum legal drinking age) was 18 but that law was revised in 1984 raising the minimum legal drinking age to 21. The drinking age should not be lowered because it would be irresponsible, the current MLDA is allowing more mature adults to legally drink, and lowering the MLDA would give more middle/high schoolers easier access to alcohol.
Finally, I think that adolescents should have the responsibility to make their own autonomous medical decisions, but also take time to think about decision they are making first. Adolescents are people too and if you look at a 16 year old as a mature adult then you should look at 14-15 year old as adults as well. Everyone is equal everyone should be treated equal. Also it is legal for adolescents to have their rights, if we as citizens in the United States of America didn’t have the right to privacy I don’t think that we would have our Bill of Rights.
Parent should set guidelines on teen dating because it would benefit their future. Parents should set guidelines that aren't that controlling teenagers need a little bit of freedom so setting a curfew would be a perfect rule another rule that would be good is that they have to ask for permission and that the boyfriend or girlfriend should meet the parents. These rule are perfect for teenage dating because they aren't to controlling but they will keep your son or daughter safe.
Teen Curfew Essay The government should not be able to mandate teen curfews. Parents should be able to decide their own child’s curfew. The curfew laws also violate the first and fourth amendment. Another reason is because some police officers use the curfew laws to discriminate against certain races.
The author also brings up scenarios like how a 20 year old cannot legally have sex with a 17 year old, but in most states a 16 year old can get married with parents’ consent, or how “...a 20-year old Marine, just back from patrolling the streets of Baghdad, would have to turn before he could join a local police force in most cities in the United States. ”(3) With these types of situations why does age matter? Whether it be a certain right, job, or relationship why should the government and society be worried about a number rather than someone’s maturity
Sponsored by our local community channel, episodes centered around typical issues faced by adolescents. Topics such as defining success, evaluating body image, and underage drinking were all on the table. Everything - from the lights and audio to the script to the acting - was to be done and performed by teens, for teens. We planned for debate panels to correspond to the episode’s theme. Should we lower the drinking age?
Should parents set rules for teens to date? I personally believe that parents should set rules for teens to date. The reason being is owing to the fact that if parents don’t set rules for that person, the person they are dating can probably become a distraction. Distractions can lead to many things. The person being distracted can lead them to loosing school focus.
...lly prepared for such life experiences. Though not always negative, high school relationships are also not likely to have a drastically positive impact on students either. Levels of stress in life can be at their peak during years of development, though it may seem daunting, not all are incapable of balancing a relationship and life. Nevertheless, having a relationship, the stress to succeed in within the relationship, and the stress to not become the main topic of gossip for their peers in what should have been a private matter may magnify the pressures of everyday life.
