For this assignment, I was asked to write an essay about the importance and non-importance of relationships in teenage lives today. Teenagers all over the world are in a committed relationship whether it is for two months to two years. The rate of teen relationships is on a rise but we have to ask ourselves is that a good or bad thing?
Relationships are defined differently around the world. In some society’s relationship are not permitted until the young adult is at least sixteen years of age. This means that the teen, at only age sixteen, is already exposed to “love“, relationships, the pressures of sex, and the rude awakening of denial and betrayal. In other societies, arranged marriages happen in the early twelve, thirteen years of an adolescences life. This means that teens as early as twelve years of age are expected to learn how to take care of their own family, learn how to cook, clean, and are expected to have the hardest responsibility in the world.
Teens all over the world are being taught to be in a relationship for security reasons. As for women, they are being taught to find a man to take care of them to survive. As for men they are being taught to find a woman to clean, cook and essentially do everything for them.
Girls today depend on relationship to keep them sane. They feel the need to be in a relationship so that they have someone that loves them someone to care for them when they’re in need. More times then less, women fall into the stage that they believe without the person they are with they are nothing, they will die without their love and that life would simply be easier with the love of another. In most times the young man in the relationship, break up with the young woman and evidentially her whole world ends. This in my opinion is what causes the rate of suicide to escalate. Most young men commit themselves into a relationship to show off to friends. Young men seem to use young women to relieve their need of sexual tension that they might be facing. This in my opinion causes teen pregnancy to rise more than ever before. In my personal opinion, young men and women must first understand themselves as a person before they commit to a serious relationship.
To some people love is not a necessity to their lives, to others it’s they live for. More women then men become dedicated to their partner. Women seem to be emotionally stronger and more capable to uphold a serious relationship. More young men seem to have the understanding that real men are strong and could not possibly be dedicated to one specific woman. What they do not know is that when they do find the said girl of their dreams it changes their life for the better.
I am currently in a serious relationship. I will officially be with my boyfriend for a year, now on November 14. Our relationship started as a friendship at first then escalated to e serious relationship. My boyfriend is a nice, considerate, wonderful young man and I have invested my whole heart into our relationship. We have grown a strong, loving relationship that I would never change. Our families have accepted that our love is real and they see that we have a good head on our shoulders and that we do actually know what we are doing. We have a plan for our separate lives and we know that our future comes first. We are defiantly in love and we dedicate ourselves to each other. We put our well-beings and our future before the temptation of a sexual relationship. We know what our families expect from us and we accept that we must make smart decisions to stay together. I love my boyfriend Alex with all my heart and I can honestly say I would never change the one I am with for another.
Love, trust, faith and responsibility all come with having a great relationship. The world is full of mistakes but I am a strong believer that personal relationships with a person you enjoy being around will never count as a mistake. Love is what the world feeds on and without it, we would not be where we are today.
