Appropriate Age for Having Relationship

In my opinion falling into a realtionship as no age bar. Because I strongly feel love can happen at any age and any time. As humans we all tend to seek a person who is understanding and can lend an emotional support when needed. Talking about the physical relationship I would say young ones need to think about it before involving themselves and I may not be a good idea to have it too early. They need to first educate themselves about their responsibilities. Regards, Narthan

That's why parents should be there to guide their children specially during teenage years because that is the time they always look for fun and excitement and even experiments on things.. for me relationship should start when we stepped in the age of maturity.. so that we can see things clearly and to avoid any unwanted situation..

I actually would just say that 18 and up would probably the right age to get into relationship. This is just my personal opinion. Others might disagree with me on this but my daughter would have a serious problem with me if she gets into relationship before she gets 18. Based on my observation, when a teenager gets involve with a relationship, her or his focus became deteriorated. Most of them tend on failing rather than getting it on top.

talking about relationship is relative and depends on the person that they'r ready or not for serious on higher level or just for have fun only. sometime we should take high discipline for that thing, because if not, you know what will going on right (make decision). after that then up to you, you controlled it and let it flow as usual

I think the most appropriate age is between 22 and 25.The relationship that start too early will not last long in most cases,for this kind of relationship is not mature.But there is also some exceptions like my husband and I.We fell in love at the age of 14,nobody believed we could be together but we really did,and we truely love each other.

Nice topic cui_hezron! I can really relate on this one. I didnt left my girl friend. I stood responsible for what happened and now our daughter just turned 4. In a way, we are taking it positively like we can spend more time with her as we will be on our 40's when she turned 20. The outcome for this situation depends on the persons involved. Good thing we have a strong relationship.

This sort of adolescent situation that you describe implies that the parents have no control or take no responsibility for their offspring. Too often kids are allowed to do their own thing yet they still need the nurturing of parents and family. There's no "appropriate age" as even mature adults get themselves into predicaments that are inappropriate in one way or another. Society seems to have lost the standards and values that were the glue that held families together.

I think the most appropriate age to enter into relationship is beyond 20 to which that age is matured enough to handle any distraction of the relationship.

This statement 'relationship' is open. When you say having relationship means several kinds of such. It could be bed mate, pen pal, play mate and so on. However, friendship has no age barrier, it is open. Unless when it involves bed-mating it is suggested should be from 18 years and above but the paramount yardstick should be they must both be responsible and independent.

I disagree. Love is NOT important; if it were, I would have women COMPETING to marry me! People are just extra-evolved animals; that's why young girls have babies, and why young boys don't want to fulfill that responsibility---it's not in our animal instincts to be committed to anyone but ourselves. Relationships are only "appropriate" if arranged by powers beyond our control (usually parents).

It really depends on if they are mature. I would say 21, but kids now won't wait. I had my 1st relation at 16, and t was to early. Happy Holidays.

I think this all depends on the seriousness of the relationship. Most teenager's have their first actual relationship when they are 16; and in most cases , both of the people involved are not that mature. I do believe there is a high pregnancy rate because of this factor; and think that there are many options when it comes to thing's such as this;that teens should be educated before they reach the age of 16 to prevent teen pregnancy.

There is no appropriate age for having a relationship. Its only the emotional barrier you put upon yourself that gives you an age. Normally one would have crushes during puberty around 12-15? and if the crush goes on for long enough it will have changed to love. Boys like that are just sickening. If they made a girl pregnant, they should have the guts and the responsiblities to take care of the baby and the girl

I think it is appropriate for people to start relationship in age 19-25 years old. In those range of ages, people will think more mature and have good consideration in starting a relationship. Some pre-adolescent girls got pregnant because they were not think the risk of love. For pre-adolescent ages, they still don't have mental of taking responsibility.

Having relationship with each actually age does not come into picture but I can say it is understanding and maturity plays the very important role. Other then maturity I can say understanding each other is more important. As you have mentioned young girls are into relationship and then they become pregnant. I know what you wan't to say. You mean to say what next? Whom to blame etc. If both are understanding each other and are ready to hold the responsibilities then it is fine the girl can give birth to child, but if the boy is not ready to take responsibility or deny their relationship then girl have nothing to do but to do abortion.

I think that relationships are a serious thing. And those who enter it should be of an appropriate age and ready to carry out the responsibilities of a husband or wife. When those things happen I think that the guy should not be able to escape his responsibilities. If he thought he was adult enough to have relations then he should have to take the responsibility of raising a child.

It is pretty hard to say but Iwould say it to be any agewhere the persons would think or feel matured enough to run a family rather than finding time to just enjoy the fruits....

I think the appropriate age for having relationship is between 20 to 23 because at this age an individual realise his responsibility and understand the consequences of each act they do. Sometimes it depends upon the circumstances of a person because i have seen responsible teenager and irresponsible adult also. It depends on the company a person involved with. But ideally 20+ age is good time to involve in a relationship.

my first relationship was when i was 15 and she was 21, that was a life changing experience. i ended up getting hurt because as young as i was i do not know how to handle things in a relationship. then as i grow older i gained some experiences, and i came to look back at those times in my life, all i could do is smile, for giving me the chances to go through it all and coming out WHOLE. now i can say that despite all my troubles being into such in an early age, i have no regrets. and with regards as to what age is appropriate for having a relationship, for me age doesn't matter, as long as both parties are physically, mentally, emotionally, financially stable,and mature enough to be able to handle the responsibilities attached to it. well of course nobody can have those at an early age....
