Why are some parents so protective and don't let their kids have boyfriends when their young teens?
What's the harm?
That's their job, you won't understand it until you have kids of your own. They are just looking out for them. They don't want them to get hurt(mentally-physically), pregnant, anything like that. It's actually pretty smart, mostly all teenage boys want is sex. Yes, there are a few out there who don't but just be thankful if your parents care like that. There are tons of parents that don't.
I never said love is easy. Love is hard&confusing. But worth it. It's what I think about all the time. and you have to make sacrafices. Without that, there is nothing. and you have to have trust. so dont tell me I dont know what love is. because I am going through so much right now for the guy I love.
bc of what happened to me for example... im only 16.. and so is my boyfriend. im a head cheerleader hes a star quarter back. he was on steriods and hes abussed me physically and sexually. and you just reele don't knoe a guy sometimes liek you think you do.
A friend who is a boy, even one who you're very fond of, or romantic about is OK.
A boyfriend who might expect to be alone with you, experiment with sex etc is another - that's what your parents want to protect you from (see above).
But I hate when people say that young teens CAN'T be in love. Because that is so not true. I'm in love with my boyfriend. And he would NEVER take advantege of me. Ever. So all relationships aren't like that.
ever hear about teen pregnancy? it all comes because you might be too inexperienced about intercourse and a boyfriend at a young age will only think of the one thing (most of the time that is)
Because they're doing their job - looking after the best interests of their very young daughter - they Care - many, many, don't - Be Thankful.
those were two great examples... physical and sexual abuse... stds, pregnancy, being taken advantage of etc etc...
parents shouldnt be involved in their kids sex and dating its a personal choice
THAT IS NOT TRUE>>> TEENAGE LOVE IS TRUE!!!
