Why Parents Don't Approve of Dating

Young Folks,

Have you often felt why you don’t get the freedom you want when it comes to dating? Here’s why the parents don’t always approve of who you choose to be in your life.

Number One: You’re still growing up to become someone you are not yet. You haven’t fully adapt to the necessary steps in life on how to be an adult when you’re still at your teenage years. With that said, I can see if you go out and have a boyfriend and girlfriend at the time, but it’s key to understand that you’re also going to school for an education. These are the years in life where you determine what you want to do in the real world, and who you want to be. Nowadays I start to see everyone taking their relationship super fast thinking this person is the one and only when to be honest, you haven’t turned 21 yet. Keep in mind to not take things too fast with your relationship. Be careful in who you choose.

Number Two: Has it ever occur to you that the moment you’re in a relationship, that person who you are with will change your mentality? Many times, parents see you as the person you are when they have raised you. A parent can tell you right off the back who is good and who’s not good. Don’t try to shrug them off because they’ve been in our footsteps and know exactly who is the right person for us. The real reason is because you don’t want to end up with someone who will influence you to do the opposite of your morals, family, and personal things. “You have changed so much, and it’s because of that person you’re with” are words that every teen hates to hear from a parent, but you really don’t know unless you take a step back to realize the situations and changes you have made. Keep in mind that even when you grow up, your parents are still a part of you. If you know you could be getting into some trouble that they don’t approve of, you already know it may turn out to be the wrong relationship, and the wrong person to associate yourself with.

Find someone so that you both can stay on top of your school work, job, and still interact for a social life. If you think parents aren’t approving well to your partner, speak up and prove them wrong.  Parents, be sure to interact with that partner your child is with. Get to know him, her, their background, living environment, and anyway so that you can also be aware of protecting your child. Even when you have told them many times to not do anything, step back and let your child learn the hard way so they too can realize it. Parents, always protect your children in the best way they can. Don’t let them get in harms way of anything, oh and be alert on them because they may just go behind your back to be sneaky.
