Dating In Middle School Essay

This could lead to extensions of curfews or even better understanding of each other. It also helps in the long run as it improves the teen-parent relationship. Good

The quote from Katie an Eighth Grader explains this very well, “Middle school is a tough time for many, and I feel as if teachers need to recognize that the adolescents stage is rather difficult because we are too old to do some things, while being too young to do others.

Cultural dating techniques and sexual practices among youth has changed drastically over the decades. From a postmodernist perspective, this is largely due to society, the morals, values and lessons that are taught in our social institutions. Dating practices have become less formal which is now considered the new norm, “we have moved into a “late-modern society” that is increasing anomic (or less normed) in certain respects” (Cote & Allahar, 2006, p. 28). There is no more ‘traditional roles’ of dating or even clear guidelines. How girls are supposed to behave is constantly changing and reinforced by various authority figures, society and our educational institutions. Dating and sexual practices have gone from the relationship first then, sexual activity, to sexual activity and then commitment. Media and society are now telling females to explore their sexuality before settling down except continue to look down upon the females who do so. Males continue to be taught to have multiple sexual partners and look for a female partner whom has only had very few sexual partners if any. Not only has institutions and other influences taken away the standards from dating, they are sending mixed messages. Encouraging females to have the best of the

In middle school I met a girl who quickly became my best friend. After we met, we did nearly everything together. We were simply incepreable. We continued to be very close all the way up into junior year of high school. This is when she met and started dating one of the senior boys from our school. She had always had a thing for "bad boys" and this boy was a picture perfect representation of one. After she started seeing him more, I started seeing her less and less. The boy she was dating apparently disliked me; a lot. He began to take control of everything in her life. When she came to lunch everyday at school, she would sit with me and a group of my friends and tell us how he would hit

Parents should be able to limit their child’s dating life due to recent brain studies. According to the PBS documentary “Inside the Teenage Brain”, teenagers’ brains are still developing from puberty and are more likely to try riskier or more dangerous events, such as going out with more dangerous people. Parents need to keep an eye out on their children as they may have chosen the wrong person to go out with and could possibly end up getting hurt. The article also says that teenagers are afraid to ask their parents for help, entitling the adolescents to do whatever they think is correct. Teenagers don’t always know what is right and wrong, so they need their parents to guide them in times of need. In the article “Beautiful Brains” by David Dobbs, he states that when parents gently, but steadily, lead them through teenage years, adolescents do better as adults. If parents lead their children through the tough parts of their life, such as looking for a date, the teens will remember their parents’ advice for later in life. Therefore, adolescents should not be able to date a certain person without their parents’ consent.

Kids in middle school, are enduring a time period in their life where they're becoming teens, who are becoming adults.

In an article “Teen Dating Guidelines”, written by Jessica Childs, on November 6, 2014, she claims that parents should enforce rules on dating for their children. In which I agree with her statement, parents should put rules on their children to ensure their happiness and safety. Even though I agree with parents enforcing rules on their children’s dating, they shouldn’t be so strict though. Not only would setting rules for your children benefit them to prevent from bad situations, but it also teaches them how to listen and understand your thoughts.

The first dating rule my child or children will have is that they must be thirteen years old before they can date someone. I have decided to make this rule so they can have more of a developed mind. If their mind is more developed they can make wiser decisions on who they

A lot of families have a lot of different ways they raise their children. While some parents are laid back and let children make their own mistakes, a lot of parents want to make sure their child does what they are supposed to do. Dating is a sensitive topic for teenagers, because a lot of what they do and how they act can be influenced by who their with. Letting teenagers make their own choices can be beneficial to them, but can also hurt them. Being around certain bad influences in a teens life can be long-term changes. Parents should have the right to control who their child dates.

The writer makes the readers believe that strict rules and locking children up can make them submissive or give up on trying out want they want to do but in reality, this isn’t the truth. Parents of today know that very well and have always tried to give their children the freedom of

5 years ago I was an awkward eleven-year-old in 6th grade. I was very very quiet and I was very very self-conscious. I have grown a lot as a person because I have gotten a little bit more outgoing than I was back then. I am still very quiet but not nearly as quiet as I was back then. I have gotten a little bit more confident in myself but that is definitely something that I am still working on. In seventh grade I met Alex. We were best friends for all of that year and then in eighth grade we started dating. At this time it was just the typical middle school relationship and we did not think that it was going to last but here we are three years later and we are still dating. Since I have been with him for so long, that has definitely shaped
