Teenage love

Philippines
August 21, 2012 7:48am CST
I am a working mom and my sons have girlfriends, when I'm not at home their girlfriend were visiting my sons. I told their girlfriends not to go Beyond the limit and that they should finish first their studies before going to serious matters. Im not contradicting their girls but I'm just afraid that being in that stage hamper their educations. what should I do?

I am facing this stage as well. My second son is just 16 yrs old and already have a girlfriend who visited him once since the girl lives far from our place. I've talked with my son about the consequences and I hope that he listens. It's really hard to deal with teenagers especially when they're into relationship.

I think it is always good to talk about the consequences of the relationships. I think it is good to keep them as friends until the teenagers get enough money or job to support into family. I think it is good to go for some years as friends and then see if the people gets the same kind of feeling and if they are getting the same feeling then it is good to go for relationships.

Thankfully my children are still too young to have boyfriends or girlfriends, but I will be sure to let them know when they are old enough to have a boyfriend or girlfriend that they will know that they are not allowed to be at my house if I am not there. The reason that I feel this way is because of the fact that I think that if teenagers are permitted to spend too much time with their boyfriend or girlfriend when there are not adults around means that they are more likely to cross lines that they shouldn't cross until they are older and more mature.

I think with this concern you have every right to not allow them into your home unless you're there, atleast until you feel they are mature enough or can be trusted. Teenagers are teenagers and as much as you might want to tell yourself that they are doing no harm, you have to remember what it's like to be that age.

You can't control them.You can advise them and leave the rest to them.Even if you are strict by not allowing them to your home and you are constantly watching over your sons,they will always find someway to give you a slip and do what they want.It is your duty to explain to them in such a way that your point must be understood by them and they should realize it and it come from within their hearts every time they face such situations.Otherwise no teenagers will take the advise and follow it blindly like a rule.Anyway they would realize it when they are mature.

just talk to your kids and tell them to be careful^^ you know i guess that nowadays what parents can do is support their kids. no matter if you allow or not if they want they will have s*x with their gfs. the best thing you can do is to tell your kids to take precautions if they think about doing that. im not a parent yet but for what i see the best is that you talk with your boys and tell them to be careful ^^ i know is early to see your boys sleeping with their gfs but probably they are doing that already. so the best is to just take precautions^^

Do your son really don't like girls? cause if he don't like those girls will not go to your son and entertain them. Yet teenage stage are most crucial experience those days were want to experience adventures and exploratory stage. But don't take for granted with that He may not understand or laughing at you when you sometimes make correction's in all decisions that he made but rather the best thing to do are to be a best friend with Him and be open with Him just like what He does with His friends and have spend time together with his friends just like at His age. eventually to stop those girlfriends he have will not stop going not in the house but rather in any other places or secret place etc its better to be in the house were you can't closely monitored and have bonding together with them.

In my opinion, teenage love is not good . They have any experience in their life . Teenage love affects their education .
