I did not have a bf has a teen. I was extremely shy, insecure. Someone told me something is wrong with that. What do you think?

I think whichever person said that to you is a jerk. You aren't the only one, my best friend from HS was the same. She's fine.

Then that person is a stone-cold idiot. There's nothing abnormal about it.

Teens, and most of all teens in popular social situations, date out of insecurities. Almost none of them LOVE the person, or for that matter really even care too much about them. Its very rare that teen relationships last into adulthood.

 

Its simply a social clique, like showing your friends that you got a new accessory at the mall.

 

Why do you think teens girls go so crazy over popular boys in bands, movies, tv , etc, etc. They want to attach themselves to the attention.

I didn't start dating until I was nineteen. Yes, I was technically still a teen, but more an adult, so I do not think it's abnormal.

 

Most teenage relationships don't last anyway. You really didn't miss out on anything.

There's nothing wrong with not dating as a teen. All of us develop emotionally, socially, and physically at different ages. I knew many people who didn't date as teens, myself included.

I second that emotion.

I didn't have my first real boyfriend until I was three years out of college and several years past my teens. I think it's perfectly fine; everyone have their own priorities. A relationship isn't the top priority for some people, and that's cool.

Nope. Who cares. You do it when you want. Your someone who is making you wonder about this is totally wrong.

how about those couples (highschool sweethearts) who manage to stick it out until early adulthood and get hitched?

 

Doesn't work out?
