And it's pretty hard to support a child when you're still in school.

I think 7-7 lost all his credibility when he made the statement of cons as:
Teen Sex - Thats bad? -.-
Possibility of Drugs (spouce may be drug addict) - Yea im sure the girl you like is a total crack head and does meth on the side.
Yea you have no idea what your talking about.

I would like to point out that there is a difference between loving someone and being in love. I love many people, as I care deeply for them and I'd go out of my way to make them happy. This love doesn't necessarily have to be driven by them liking you or anytihng that being in love might. Hell, I'll admit it, by my defintion, I love several guys.
I think that kids should be allowed to 'go steady'/date, but I'm opposed to teen sex as it is near inevitable that something bad will be produced from it such as STDs or pregnancy. (Don't tell me that protection is always viable, 'cause my sister was concieved on something with the same % prevention as the pill without the user error associated with the pill.)
I think that young people can experience true love (or by my definition, being in love) but a lot of times, they're mistaking the feeling for lust or infatuation. I've been in love before, and frankly, I think I am now. I know that I can't really act on any of my 'love' since being so young may restrict abilities such as going on dates because you can't drive or other things.

Well, if you truly 'love' your old girlfriend, in more than a friend kind of way, i dont think your going to have a healthy marriage, if you can love more than one person... (cheating)

Age-related restrictions really suck, don't they? *winks in understanding*

If you so truly love someone who lives so nearby (don't tell me Maine to New York is far, I keep international contacts) it shouldn't be very hard to keep in touch and see them on an annual basis. (to 7-7)
I can do naught more than purport maturity over age, and agree that immature people have the wrong end of this stick.

First, what's your definition of dating? Dates can just be a way to get to know someone. Too bad people most people, especially teens, define "dating" as an exclusive relationship with someone. Most "relationships" in high school don't last that long anyways.
In the end, I believe teen "dating" is neither bad nor good. It just depends on the people involved. If the people are mature, and know the difference between love, lust, and infatuation, then it's good. They'll get the dating experience, see what kind of person they like, and see what kind of person they are. However, if the teen (or even adults) are mentally/emotionally unstable, then relationships are built on unstable grounds, and it is detrimental. The amount of pregnancies and STDs resulting from teenage sex are way blown out of proportion. In the end, it's knowledge and experience that matters, not age.
Hm... what the hell did I just write? I don't know myself.

Teen/pre-teen dating is good. Most middle school relationships are pretty fake, and aren't worth anyone's time. middle schoolers losing their virginity...that's bad.
If you're iffy on whether or not it's a good idea, than it probably isn't.

This topic is directed mostly to the older part of SEN (16+) Because most teens like me 15 or below will think its good and there arent negatives.
Is teen dating good or bad? Why? What are the negatives and postives? Is it better to be 'just friends'?

Good, because you aren't adults yet so you don't have to worry about the much bigger things, you gain experience, you gain to understand love(kinda). It's all about experience for the real game. Practice if you will..

Sometimes it seems as if everyone in the world has a boyfriend or girlfriend - except you. Just switch on the TV, put on a CD, watch a film... they're everywhere, those ever-present happy couples that appear to constitute 99% of the world's population!
As soon as you turn 13 and your hormones start raging, for some reason everyone else your age expects you to start having girlfriends or boyfriends. I know I've had the awful question put to me about five or six times, "Why don't you have a girlfriend?" I mean, what are you supposed to say to that?!
You have to realise that not everyone else is in a relationship. If you look around properly, you'll find that most people are single. (Those mythical happy couples probably actually only constitute something like 20% of the world's population...) As you probably know, teenagers have that wonderful habit of bragging and exaggerating, and quite often people will tell some little stories to make themselves seem more impressive. Learn to see through what people are saying, especially about how many people they've "gone out with".
Having had loads of boyfriends or girlfriends doesn't make you a better person, in fact usually quite the opposite!

It's a maturity thing, not an age thing. I think teenages as a facelss group are stupid, too.

Everyone on TV and in the movies does have a girlfriend/boyfriend. The modern media is poisoning teen's minds. Someday people will have to realize that movies and reality are not synonomous.
