on how parents guide their children through teenage dating.
Teenage relationship is a common issue many people confer about. Some
consider it to have damaging effects on the well-being of a teen on a physical,
emotional, social, and mental level. While this may be true, healthy relationships
among adolescents can help shape a young person’s identity. Dr. Furman, a professor
of psychology at the University of Denver, said that romantic relationships can be
significant sources of support that offer teenagers fun and companionship, help them
forge mature identities and offer them practice in managing emotions.
However, there is also the fact of physical abuse that is present in some
teenage dating. According to a study, 1.5 million high school students experience
some sort of physical abuse from their dating partner. Studies indicate that 33% of
those teens ever told an adult about the abuse. But, this is due to the fact that some
parents are not open to topics regarding relationships and sexuality; and the possibility
of retribution from a few strict parents. This would not be the case if an open
communication within the family is present.
Unhealthy, violent relationships can cause short term and long term negative
effects to a developing teen. Victims of teen dating are more likely to do poorly in
school; engage in bad habits such as drinking, physical fighting, and drug abuse. On
the contrary, this occur due to improper guidance and monitoring of parents. Setting
boundaries and rules for a teen’s relationship should be established. Rules offer teens
a sense of security and ultimately teach them how to set boundaries.
In addition, a study made on 4,000 Filipino students aged 13 to 18 reported that
students obtained information about love and sexuality mainly from friends. However,
according to the respondents, they valued parents’ opinion more than friends’. Indeed,
teens wish to better communicate and connect with their parents on these issues.
There is always a room for encouraging parents to talk with their children about
relationships and sexuality, especially aspects related to emotions and feelings in
order for them to make better choices.
Furthermore, the quality of parents’ relationship with their children make a
difference with their children’s behavior and social competence. Through close,
positive family relationship which features open communication, the parents and the
children will come into a better understanding and create connection.
Nevertheless, teenage relationship does not impair the well-being of a teen. It
is through proper parental guidance and encouragement that guides teens to make
right decisions with their teenage relationships.
