it is an emotional time but sharing it with someone makes it easer!
I do not disagree that the teen years are an emotional time and such, but i do believe that teens can be mature enough to maintain a serious relationship. It may be rare, but the fact is that there are a number of teens who can, indeed, hold a serious relationship and CAN be committed. Also in fact, there are a number of adults who are married and have been in a relationship since their teen years. In terms of only adults being committed, take into account that many adults are just as guilty, if not more guilty, of cheating, adultery, and of many things that teens are guilty of. This makes these adults "not capable of being committed" and the acts are considered by many a "bad decision." There are many famous bands and artists who, along with many adults, jump from person to person to "have fun" or to "love;" this is just a simple example. I do believe that adults can be capable of maintaining serious relationships, as my parents are a fine example. In no way am i saying that adults are incapable of love. The correct thing would be to say that SOME teens and SOME adults CAN be committed to having serious relationships, but not ALL teens and ALL adults are capable of such.
No, I disagree that teens under age 18 can have a serious relationship, because being a teen is an emotional time, and teens are not fully mature to deal with serious relationships like an adult is. Teens under age 18 are not fully mature and are not capable of making rational decisions like an older adult is. Teens are going through growth, hormonal changes and other growing stages. They are not settled enough to make decisions about serious relationships and, most likely, will make bad decisions or move too fast. Older adults, however, are more rational and often make better decisions when it comes to a serious relationship. Plus, teens are not capable of being as committed, as a serious relationship requires.
