Me? I think teenage relationships are really unnecessary, considering the fact that they rarely end well and end up being melodramatic

I've read that teens' feelings are more extreme when it comes to romance than adults, so I think that's one of the main reasons it doesn't work out well. I don't really see much point to dating until college, but that's just me. Everyone's different, though.

As long as you're not a dope about it, it's a fine way to have fun and gain some experience with the opposite (and/or same) sex.

Too dramatic. They take it way too seriously. They shouldn't be serious at all, they should just be fun. There should be no violence over relationships, you're teens, you don't owe your life or yourself to anyone. You should be free. Its good to get some experience but most teens don't handle it correctly.

They can be fulfilling depending on the maturity levels of the partakers.

As long as said teenagers are told what they need to know and are fully aware of what the consequences could be if they decide to act on certain feelings then it isn't a big deal IF they are being safe.

I don't see anything wrong with teenage relationships. So long as they're responsible and treat each other with respect and integrity. I don't believe they are unnecessary.

It's in our teenage years when we start to learn from our mistakes.

We can't learn to make the right choices without being free to make the wrong ones.

Surprisingly many of the absolute greatest couples I know met and dated in their teens to now. Some of them like my grandparents have been together for 50 years.

There isn't anything wrong with it, but I completely agree that it is WAY too much trouble. It shouldn't be, but everyone knows how teens are. It is why if I were to ever date, it would be after college. Even here I see more melodramatic relationships here than all the soap operas in the world.

They're healthy and an important learning experience. Everyone is bad at their first relationship.

Nah... nothing of the sort, really. It isn't a payoff - I guess if it's just fun, it's fine... but anything beyond that? Not really.

It was different back in your and my grandparents' time. There was no cellphones or internet to simplify romantic relationships and the culture 30 years ago and beyond did not demand so much from kids because it was not so tigtly woven with hedonism and consumerism. Kids today have "romance" because they try to adapt to the confines of modern teenage society "to look cool". Ironically most of those below 18 know hardly anything about the real romance, about sacrifice and thus they only play around with their boy/girlfriends cause it is pretty easyto find replacements, unlike what happened back in my parents'/grandparents' days.

Pfft, mine are still like that now XD

Seriously though, I think it's a normal and arguably necessary aspect of teenage life.

I can't really have an opinion, because it never happened to me (in retrospect, I was very childish as a teenager).

Who said they were all my grandparents? That was just one example I used.

My Aunt and Uncle grew up in the 80's were together since 9th grade and married at age 19. Granted in their time there was still no internet, text messaging, social media, etc but they have been together about 30 years.

I have a coworker who has been dating/married to the same woman for 19 years, and they started dating in 9th grade. They grew up in the 90's

And my very best friend just got married to the love of his life, and they are both my age (24) and yet they are one of the strongest and best couples i have ever met. They have been together seven years now and they also had to deal with it being a trans-Atlantic relationship until he moved to be with her about 2 years ago.

The point is that people from every generation can make it work, and have extremely strong and loving relationships come out of teenage romance.

I have a genuine soft spot for teen romance. There are some couples out there who actually love each other and go the whole nine yards. I've seen it. I have two friends who met in high school. I've stuck with my best friend when they've broken up. I've tried talking him out of getting with her again, which didn't help. Now what? They're practically living together. All part of the teen romance I guess.

I think they are important learning experiences, kids need to be talked to and taught more about it though - to lessen the inevitable emotional impact.

But if you dont go through it as teenager you'll probably be equally emotionally unstable and inexperienced at an older age.

Teenage romance/relationships are like training wheels for adult romance/relationships. They serve as practice in relating on a romantic or even sexual level with someone and provide experience in the same area.

much like a colonoscopy at a certain age it's whole-fully uncomfortable yet necessary experience to stay on the right track.

@life_without_progress: ~shrugs~ Men and women intending to pursue any romantic commitment have to cut their teeth sometime, and it's better to figure all of the s*** out when you're an adolescent than when you're 42 and sporting Spock ears in your parents' basement, expecting the object of your affections to behave like a Hollywood stereotype of a man or woman.
