When Should a Teen Start Dating?
A teen should not start dating until he or she feels comfortable with it, which can vary from person to person.

Re: When Should a Teen Start Dating?
Dude, there is NO reason to freak out if your daughter is dating. It's not like it's the end of the world or anything, and be glad that they only kissed--god, you could be a grandmother or something. CALM DOWN. Dating IS important in life, and school and college and GOD and parents aren't the only important things, you know. To be there for your daughter, you have to SUPPORT her, not [filtered word] at her.

Stupid parents and stupid teens.
Dating shouldn't be the whole world or a giant part of someone's life, but it's not any less important than school or college or anything. I mean, obviously it's not a necessitiy in life, but having it in life isn't a terrible thing either. If someone isn't dating by the time they're 15, that doesn't mean that nobody likes them. It could just be the people around them who don't know their true beauty. And there might be people who DO know and are too afraid to do something about it.
Parents shouldn't freak out or interfere with their child's life if they want a relationship, as long as the child knows what they are doing. Teens who treat dating like it's their whole life--it's their own fault if they get hurt or get too attached. I think that they should find their own balance in life with their parents supporting them, not intervening or opposing entirely.

Age of dating
At the young age of 14 we let our daughter start to date,she picked a boyfriend,we were not impressed but we thought wed let her start as all her friends were dating,she felt left out but then ended up broken hearted,i explained to her that this could happen,it did.She ended up having a long distant boyfriend,they talked for hours,it was much safer,she chose to break it off after quite a few months.But i really think kids are growing up way too fast in todays life.But they also need to find out if its actually something they like or dislike,yes its a bumpy road for the child,the parents.I PERSONALLY think that children should be children and enjoy being children till they are 16 then its up to the parent if they think there children are mature enough to handle such situations as dating..

When Should a Teen Start Dating
My daughter who is 15 yrs. of age understands (I hope) she is to date when she is 17 yrs. of age age. We talk about boys, who is cute, etc. There was one time when I found out she had a boyfriend and her first kiss, I of course freaked!! I talked to the boy's mom and himself and told them this is not going to happen. I explained to my daughter school was important right now. There will be plenty of time for boys. First, too much drama on break ups, looking at other girls, etc. Second, she has no time for boys, with her studies, extra curricular activities, praising GOD, I told her, the first boy you should love with all your heart is GOD then Dad, there after, your boyfriend, like rather. I try to keep up with her and discuss everything. I tell her she needs to know what she wants to be, what needs to be done in order to get into her college of her choice, she does volunteer work, not mentioning fun with her friends. She does understand, you just have to be there for them, even when they say you are too much MOM!!!
