6 Reasons Teenage Dating Can Wait

1. You will find yourself worrying about them more than school and your family 

2. What you like now is not what you will like in two years as a teen. ———————Think about it. Two years ago you probably had he hugest crush on someone and now that person is nothing to you. As teens we are growing so quickly and changing so fast our bodies don’t keep up with our emotions.

 3. You will find love someday— there is always time to focus on love. That would be a lot more easy going if it wasn’t in High School. Just saying.

4. Less drama.

5. Give yourself time to be free and learn who you are before you try to figure someone else out.

6. If you love them and they love you, then you can wait. They will be waiting. 

Story time

We’ve all been there. All it takes is one good look at someone and you’re hooked. They’ve reeled you in by their looks. You daydream about you two being together all day long. You find their Instagram and next thing you know you’ve became a detective. Searching their Instagram high and low for any signs or reason for you not to have a chance. Half of the time you find that person is already in a relationship and the rest of the time you find that the person you’ve been daydreaming is a “free fish in the sea”. You make your move by liking their recent Instagram post and if you’re feeling brave you like a couple old ones too. Long story short y’all two start talking and all seems well then...

The penetrating truth that’s been forever hiding beneath that fake of face comes out in gush. It’s like there was never any truth to the matter. And they try to hide it from you like there’s no reason to let go of that one little strand that they just might be who you thought they were. Well, when the string has been pulled and that light has been turned on you see the truth. The real truth. People can create a perfect image of themselves and bundle it into this perfect little ball and toss is at you. The sad part is we seem to catch that ball like it’s a free t-shirt thrown to us at a baseball game. Eventually we unravel that shirt from the ball and the truth is revealed. We know the truth and no longer want the truth. So we take that shirt and create the perfect ball that we received it as and keep it without speaking up. Every game you go back, sit in the same seat, cheer for the same team, and catch the same shirt. The only difference from the first time you caught the shirt to now is that now you don’t open the shirt. You don’t open the shirt because you like the lies more than the truth. So, you try to keep the lies because that’s what you know. Not that the truth is bad but, because you were lied to about the truth. A liar is isn’t a friend, if they were they wouldn’t be a liar. Let go of your toxic t-shirt. Wear a shirt that shows who you are. The saying goes....” You are who you hang out with.” Don’t catch yourself wearing the wrong shirt.  

This story represents the drama that goes in most Teen Realtionships. Is it really worth it?

Take life slow and live happy. Don’t rush into things so quickly. Go with the flow more often.
