Teen Dating Analysis
In the article “Teen Dating Guidelines” by Jessica Childs it argued whether teenagers should have rules on dating set by their parents . Parents should set rules for teen dating, because it’s best to have your teenager follow rules about dating. The rules set by the parents should change as the teenager grows older. As a teenager dating could have many risks but it can also help. One of the risks is having their hearts being broken, which parents should talk to their teen about.

My parents at first didn’t agree with the age difference but then they decided if I truly cared for who I am dating then age shouldn’t be a problem. I was relieved when my parents told me that because a one year age difference didn’t bother me at all. It also helped ease my parent’s concerns when I told them that we were in the same grade. A rule I agree with is that when a teen dates during middle school they could talk through the phone and text but only if parents can have access to their phones and the teens know that their parents check the texts, etc. This rule should only be applied during middle school because in high school the parents teen would feel his privacy being invaded. If i had a phone during middle school, I know that my parents would have checked it and I wouldn’t mind them checking my phone, but now in high school I would feel that my parents don’t respect my privacy. Many rules should be used but other rules shouldn’t be used because not only would the teen break the rule, the parents would be more harsh on the rules
