Risky but not a waste. It's practice for the real thing.
-
No. You only live once, and you are only a stupid teenager once so you might as well indulge.
-
No. I think that they are part of growing up. Of course very rarely do teenage relationships last forever (in fact many only last a few weeks), but I wouldn't call them a waste. As for the risky part, I don't think relationships are risky. Maybe sexual activity at this age is risky, but relationships aren't.
-
Meh, not always. My sister married her boyfriend from high school.
-
no, i think its a good way for both genders to understand each other better and prepare themselves for their futures. however....some teenagers think they're so grown and then they have a huge reality check. but we live and we learn.
-
Looking back... I wish I never dated while I was in school. They didn't help me then, and the don't help me now. I think if anything limited my experiences as a teenager and a student.
-
risky yes a wast no. risky because kids will do things without thinking about the consacuences( <- ? ). bad things could come out of the things they do. not a wast becuase you learn and grow from the things you do as a young person. including the kind of person you may or may not want to be with.
-
Never a waste. It's training for the real thing!
-
As long as they use protection and don't let the relationship be everything then it is a normal part of growing up, each to their own ;0)
-
Important training for the real thing.
-
I was going to say they were a waste until I saw the other answers that said it was training and that makes a lot of sense to me. I got married young and I had no idea what the hell to expect, but now that I know. I will know what to do for the real thing lol.
-
NO they train you not only for future relationships, but they train your people skills as well. I believe it assists in their socialization.
-
it's only risky if you're not the one who is the teenager, you might catch a charge! :)
-
No, not if you're smart and safe, but their made to help you find out what you want in a relationship, meet new people, and experience life when you're a teen!
-
Nope, it's all about learning.
-
I would say 99% of them don't last. You most likely will get hurt and it will be bad. With that said... Its not a waste of time and its worth the risk. You learn from these. You see what you like and don't like, you do have alot of fun, you can learn and grow from these experiences. Its fun while it lasts, you learn from them.
-
how can u even do that wen ur given homework and u have to study and then u have to get a job straight away to live in your parents house - its sucks! the so called teenage life hasn't even started for me and its coming to an end stupid system!
-
i dont think so cause its what you learn from your relationships while your young that teaches you what you want and dont want in your future relationships.
-
I think that they can be a lot of things, but it depends on each person, as to what they get out of it. Some teenagers learn, some sulk, some move on, some don't care, some waste time, some get hopeful, some get hopeless, some even work out for life... Every teenager is different. Yes, there is a general correlation that love is extremely blind for teenage relationships, but even if there are a few moments of pure happiness, or at least the ability to learn from it, then it makes it worth it. [Note: I am a hopeless romantic, and late-bloomer who did not have the opportunity to experience "young love". But I also believe that looking negatively upon it may create more hopelessness for the future.]

No. It is not risky or a waste of time. If the relationship is in wedlock and full of responsibilities, such as death do us part. It is fine. But you may be thinking teens cannot marry. Maybe not in your country, but there are lots of countries which will give matrimonial bondship. And it is a young, healthy, sexuallly more fun relationship which can be true love.
