Having love relationship with other individual has been part of lifestyle for most of teenagers

today. Some teenagers fall in love young and curtain themselves off from other social experiences,
whereas some of them are still immature, young and still exploring their own development in their
life. When teens are participants in a relationship, there are a lot of problems that can arise which
can make teens feel pressured, stressed out and even neglectful of other their responsibilities.

There are a lot of factors that can make the teenagers to feel stress when having a
relationship. First and foremost, teenagers are young and inexperienced because they don’t know
what's best in their life. This immaturity, both of experience and emotion, can cause teens to think
they are in love when they are in fact infatuated. This infatuation can cause teens to experience low
self-esteem, devastation and depression when the relationship ends.

Next teen may feel pressure to do things that she doesn't want to do while in a relationship
because her boyfriend may ask her to go places or do things to prove that she "loves" him, or she
may do things because it seems as if the rest of her friends are participating. To avoid this happen,
their parents should talking to their teenager about how to say no and when to leave a situation can
help her understand when she is being pressured. The Guttmacher Institute notes that nearly half of
American teens are sexually active, and too often this is the result of pressure.

Besides that, a teen relationship, even a casual one, can wreak havoc on the teen's grades.
Spending time with his girlfriend and neglecting homework, or even skipping school together, can
take his focus off the important things and cause his grades to slip. Teenagers should understand
that relationships are a privilege, and that his education should come first.

Last but not least, being part of a couple can alter teenager’s social status at school. He
might feel like he's not popular unless he's with his girlfriend, or a girl could be given an "easy" label
because she dates a lot. Unfortunately, social status means almost everything to a teenager, so
when his social status is raised or lowered because of his relationship, he'll experience an artificial
boost in self-confidence, or feel badly about himself because of his status.
