Dating at Young Age

Love cannot be defined, it is a word that everyone wants to have, even young children
and teenagers are not exempted in love. Everyone deserve to experience dating, however there
is limit and the consequence it has to your future is something that you can’t overcome alone.
Dating at a young age has positive and negative effect since you are growing as a person that is
worth to be love, but one thing for sure is that you should never experience it at a young age
because you don’t know what you’re doing. Dating at a young age is not real love, it is what we
call “puppy love” since your mind is undeveloped and unmatured. The power of love is great
since it can inspire you to continue and fight for your dreams, but the consequence it has is
something you cannot fight alone even your parents cannot help you with this. Children or
teenager nowadays are prone in getting trouble in the aspect of love since they don’t know that
dating at a young age is risky and the impact it has to your future is heavy.
There are so many cause and effect of dating at young age. Let us start with the cause
of dating at young age, first is, the lack of parents’ guidance, this is one of the causes why
children nowadays are dating and is not thinking of their future, of course the reason is that their
parents didn’t guide them on what is right and wrong, they neglected the effect of dating and
they tolerated the action of their children, the outcome of dating at a young age is not easy to
solve. However, it all depends on the children on how they handle their relationship which
makes me think that it is not that bad dating at a young age but you should take responsibility
and think of your future. The second cause of dating at a young age is, the curiosity on dating,
based on my experience I am curious about dating and I of course want to experience it but the
thing is I don’t have the guts unlike others they are dating not because they love that person but
the reason is they are curious about dating and at the end the relationship won’t work and you
might not want to do it again. This causes are the reason why children at young age is dating
without thinking of the effect or the consequence it has to their future. Now the effects of dating
at a young age, first is the number one issue we have right now is teenage pregnancy, this
effect has a serious effect to your future and it is one of the problems that even your parents
cannot solve in a moment which is not a good thing, not just for you but to your parents who
sacrifice everything just for you to go to school and study. The second effect of dating at young
age is, low academic achievement, since you are dating and you are distracted by this what we
call “puppy love” you can’t focus on your study and of course your future will be ruined, which is
why dating is not a good thing unless you know what you are doing and you are thinking of your
future.
In conclusion, dating at a young age has a positive and negative effect, however the
negative effect is heavy that makes me think you should study first and get job and of course
after that, you can date anyone since you are old enough and you can handle all the problems.
Moreover, you have your own choice, it all depends on you on how you handle things especially
in dating you can think of dating as inspiration and you can accomplish all your dreams together
with you partner. Lastly, I want to leave this quote by Dr. Jose Rizal “Kabataan ang pag-asa ng
bayan”. We should think of our future as part of our life because our parents work hard and has
sacrifice a lot for us to have a better life and future.
