I guess it depends on the person...but in general, I agree. Teenagers have not experienced life
enough to know a lot of things. Some teenagers are more mature than others, but you do get those
people who think they are in love and are really not. Then they make a bunch of stupid mistakes.
Teenagers are also, in general, a bit emotional and that could effect their relationships.
I have a friend who claimed she was in love with a guy once. But it's a bunch of bull because it
was an online relationship, she had never met him in person, and she tends to get overly emotional
and exaggerate about things. So I pretty much agree with you. |

No we aren't emotionally stable for a relationship, but that doesn't stop us, we love to love, we
learn from our mistakes and that's what makes us an adult when we turn 18 |

I'm 16, and I've been with my girlfriend for almost 2 years now. I do agree that some teenagers
aren't mature enough, but everyone matures at a different rate, so some are ready earlier and some
aren't. |

Depends on how young,
13 years old claiming love, its a bit of a joke
a 16 year old, fine |
| |
|

It depends on the age really
like 15 and 16 year old i think are ready for a relationship but you have these kids that only have
bfs because everyone else has one is messed up.
WE have 13 year old saying that there in love with whoever their dating at 10-14 People have no
idea. But it is good for them to experience it because if they don't when they get older and in a
relationship they will not know how to act and most likely end up getting dumped a lot why would you
wait to get old if u can experiment when your young? |

Teenagers should be discouraged from entering into a relationship, not only because most of them are
not mature enough to handle the commitment, but also because they are at a point in their
development when they should still enjoy the much less complicated world of platonic friendships.
Romance and romantic relationships cause quite a lot of grief in high schools and they should not
be encouraged. Students who end up sitting on the sidelines during a high school dance, Valentine's
Day without a Valentine, infatuations and troubled relationships take up a great deal of energy and
detract from studying, extra-curricular activities, or just simply enjoying the last few years of
being a kid. These are probably not cherished memories for most people when they look back upon
their teenage years.
I hate to sound old, but my suggestion is that teens enjoy their relatively carefree, pre-adult
years while they last. You will have plenty of time to be an adult sooner than you think. |

I had a child at 15 ,and hate to admit it ,but my daughter had her first young too. If I had to do
over, I would have had her put the baby up for adoption. I chose to raise him . Did for 5 years. He
is a true gem and I've no regrets. But no, I was not mature enough and neither was she. It affects
so many things. Babies raising babies. I was just on another site to help or get help- Talking to a
12 yr.old Pregnant, Sad really. |

I believe this to be true. Teenagers are far too unstable to be able to see what is best for them.
They are rushed into things they aren't ready for due to peer pressure. I don't believe any
teenagers relationship is worthy of the name "relationship". It is merely just a trial relationship
for what is to come in their early twenties.
If you really think back to when you were a teenager, were any of those relationships real
relationships? They seem so silly now. So naive are teenagers. |

To a point , as a teenager myself I think it is ridiculous that some people have steady
relationship.
HOWEVER I don't think it is a bad idea. It helps teenagers feel better about themselves and I helps
in the future so they know what is good and bad in a relationship. |

I'm A Teenager
I'm Mentally Very Secure
And Mentally I'm Also About 34
You Can't Generalise Teenagers
Perhaps I'm A Rarity
But The Point Is Some Teens Will Be
I've Had A Long Relationship
This May Be True
But Remember That There's Always An Exception To The Rule |

Everybody matures at different rates, so you can't say that someone can't fall in love because of
their age. Nowadays, people are maturing faster than before.
Teenagers can definitely feel love like adults can. The only reason why they change partners more is
because they're all warehoused together, are told it's puppy love, and they can't legally marry.
But that's beside the point: Teenagers can too be stable enough for a relationship. Relationships
are just another social function, and you gain experience from them.
Obviously, teenagers can act irresponsibly on urges. We can change that by telling them they're
capable of more than a hookup.
Furthermore, studies by Dumas and Epstein show that moral reasoning peaks fairly early, and that
teens are far more competent than people think they are. |

Depends on what kind of relationship you are talking about but it it's a sexual one then no. If it
is one that could turn sexual then NO. |

I think a child that is at least 15-16 should be able to make mature decisions for themselves based
on their personal life. They could even be emotionally stable for marriage if their head is screwed
on straight |

I think teenagers are not emotionally stable enough to enter into marriage or other serious
commitments-but having a relationship is harmless and is a learning experience.
As teenagers males and females have many hormone changes and this can effect their judgement.
Entering into marriage/buying a house etc at this age is probably not a good idea...although after
17 maybe less so. |

Even if teenagers aren't emotionally stable or mature enough to handle a relationship, that's fine!
It's not life and death, and it's not like you're asking them to get married and make a bunch of
serious life decisions at this point! Having relationships, romantic or platonic, as a teenager is a
normal part of development, and it prepares the individual for real-world relationships as an adult.
If they practice having a friendship as a teenager, they'll know how to be a good friend as an
adult. If they practice having a romantic relationship as a teenager, they'll know how to be a
supportive emotional partner in a later relationship. |

It is absolutely not true because most relationships start from teen age. Thought it is evident that
many of them do not last for long and do not take a good shape in future but along side there have
been many relationships which really lasted and got matured in later future. Maturity is one such
thing which comes as we grow old, it is true, and as we mature our relationships mature too. We do
not remain the same after ten years of a relationship. Things and situations change and in
accordance with that we also change a lot and out maturity helps us in dealing with a situation. But
it is not a right idea that teenagers are not emotionally stable to have a relationship because
nowadays youth gets matured at a young age and they can stabilize a relationship. |

I think some of them are emotionally ready to have a relationship. |
| |
|

The majority aren't, yet some teenagers are mature enough and are in a good enough position to be in
a relationship. |

The only way one can learn to be stable is through trail. An adult, is so keen and wise because of
there experience. How does one get experience if they can not venture of into the world of
relationships. And as for being emotionally unstable, please. I know many people, some with very
respected jobs, others married and a few old enough to be my grandparents, and to say they were
emotionally stable would be a slap in the face to some other people i know, some young some old,
that really have a grip on things. I will however, say that yes most teenagers don't always see
whats best for them. And a lot of them fail to look ahead when there faced with life situations. But
that not because of there age necessarily as much as it has to do with inexperience. |

People mature at different rates. I'm always perplexed by people who believe that teenagers can't
handle a relationship, when back in the 60's people were marrying at 19. - People still are. I was
proposed too at 18 (granted i turned them down lol) but if the person (who was a good few years
older than me) felt we were ready - surely that shows that some teenagers mature faster, and are
able to withstand a relationship. (I'm nearly 19 btw) lol |

I do think that there are some teenagers who are stable enough to have a relationship. Many teens
have relationships that last for several years and they are very happy. Of course, there are some
teenagers who are not ready to handle a serious relationship and that is okay. Some teens expect too
much from their relationship and in these cases, most teen relationships fail. Other teens are very
mature and are ready. Therefore, it all depends on the teenager and their maturity level. They all
will eventually have a relationship and they all will endure heartbreak. They have to learn
sometime. However, there should be no hurry. Everything has its time and it is okay to wait. |
