Teenagers have come a long way in the field of dating and relationships.
There was a time when teenagers went on dates where they were chaperoned by parents.
They were not allowed to date alone.
Parents were very cautious and always monitored what their kids were doing.
In our society today, teenage dating has become very relaxed and open.
It is common for teenagers to go on dates with members of the opposite sex alone.
They will go out to dinner, go to the movies, attend school dances, or many other things.
Parents have gotten to where they let their children date and let them go about dating unsupervised and on their own.
Sometimes, this works well and other times it can result in lifelong consequences.
Responsible teenagers are capable of going on dates and knowing what is appropriate.
They are able to function with another teenager of the opposite sex without having an adult looking over them.
These teens have a great deal of responsibility and have worked hard to develop their parents trust.
They strive to retain that trust and not jeopardize the freedom that they have been given.
These teens do not pose any problems with dating or relationships with members of the opposite sex.
On the other hand, there's a rebellious, unruly, and risky group of teenage daters.
These teens are a threat to themselves and others in many ways.
They are not capable of being responsible and conducting themselves appropriately on a date.
In many cases these teens haven't had a lot of supervision or guidance from their parents.
Perhaps they'd parents that worked long hours or were not residence for whatever reason.
But, no matter what the reason they haven't been brought up properly and aren't responsible.
They aren't capable of making the right decisions for themselves.
These teens are the ones that most commonly end up being arrested for things that they have done.
Their relationships are very poor and they seem to seek out people that act the same way that they do.
This only compounds the problem.
Others will end up with babies before they graduate tall school.
The possible consequences of dating that isn't behaviorally appropriate are immense.
Parents have a responsibility to guide and direct their children.
They need to make sure that their teens are safe when they're away from them.
Teens ought to know right and wrong.
They ought to be fully aware of the consequences of their actions before they're allowed to date and spend extended periods of time with members of the opposite sex.
This is necessary for protecting everyone that's involved.
There is no room for mistake.
The only way for something to happen would be for the teenager to directly defy their parents.
Yes, this does happen, but most often once a teen has gained that freedom and trust from their parents, they are not willing to risk losing that.
So, as long as youngsters are raised appropriately, the risks of bad decisions are greatly decreased.
