Teen dating is ridiculously popular. You'd be surprised by how many high schoolers, or even middle schoolers are in relationships these days. 89% of teens are reported to be in a relationship today and 37% of 11-12 year olds. OMG!!!!
Teen relationships almost always come to an end, except for those few exceptions of the whole "high school sweetheart" type of stuff. When teens first enter a relationship, they try to pretend that they know it won't end possibly terribly. Most of them are basically fooling themselves! I understand that it's nice to have a cute companion when you're going through high school but that's what friends and dogs are for!
What's the point? What I don't understand is why someone would want to invest their time into someone else during a key time in their life. Teen-hood is the time to focus on yourself and truly find who you are. How can you do that when you're trying to understand someone else who gives confusing signs and mixed signals and weird sad feelings. It's a big time suck and distracts you from the more important things that they could be going through during their teens. There probably are perks to teen relationships, like having experience for the future, but it seems that in most cases, the good outweighs the bad. Props to the teens who have discovered who they are and are in a healthy teen relationship.
