why teenage girls should remain single

     Have you ever had your heart broken? Doesn't it suck? It's happened to me, and it is absolutely the worst feeling I have ever experienced in my life. I am seventeen years old and I got my heart broken five months ago by the love of my life. After experiencing heartbreak and what it does to a person, I strongly think that teenagers should remain single until they have matured and are actually ready to be in a relationship. When a person is young, they are vulnerable. They are willing to believe whatever someone tells them. I think that some young people who think they are in love really are not. These people are in love with the idea of someone caring about them. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that love doesn't exist and that everyone turns out this way. I am saying that from past experiences most teens are not at all ready to be with just one person.

When a teenager is dating someone, there is a lot of temptation around them. This temptation may cause them to make wrong decisions and do things that will hurt their relationship such as cheating on their partner. This hurts both people. It hurts the person who got cheated on because they lost trust in their partner and it may cause them to break up. This also hurts the person who did the cheating because they could be losing someone important to them because they made a mistake.

Teenagers are very experimental, especially the generation right now. They are doing more things with more people. This causes risk of STI's. If two people are in a relationship they might not know the truth about each other's past experiences with other people. This could be very dangerous. For example, if I was dating a guy and he had an STI but didn't inform me, I would be at risk of getting it had I been sexually active with this person.

Being sexually active at such an age also leads me to my next point, trust. Alot of teens think that they can trust people that they really can't. Young people are very vulnerable. They trust too easily and 'fall for people' too quickly. In the end, this will lead to people getting their heart broken and not being happy at a young age. Teens should be more focused on school and having fun, not on relationships. There is plenty of time for experimenting with the opposite sex when they are older.

Everybody in the end wants to be happy. Everyone wants to find the perfect relationship. Everyone wants to get married and have kids and be a happy family. Trying to find that kind of relationship as a teenager is very often a disappointment. High school relationships do not last forever. Yes it is true many people have wound up marrying their high school sweetheart, but this does not happen to everyone. Trial and error is key. People will go through many partners before they find the right one for them. This is why teenagers should wait until they are older to start getting into committed relationships with people.
