[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15yr old DD has had two boyfriends. One kinda innocent for 3 months only seeing each other once a week and a lot of Group FaceTime with friends, fortnight, snap etc… They broke up and are now good friends.

She was single most of the summer and was with friends. Tons of flirting and fun. Nothing serious. Now she is with someone that was first friends, then slow/casual but it’s been about 6 months and I would say it’s both their first loves and it’s really sweet to watch. He takes her out for food, movies, they went laser tagging with friends.  They go to each others sports games, workout in the gym, hang at each others houses (with parents) and study together sometimes. They baked cookies at Christmas, carved pumpkins at Halloween, and he’s surprises her with little gifts like candy, stuffed animal and once he picked her flowers. They both still see their friends equally and they just compliment each other. Of course as a mom I know the heart break will eventually happen. But I think teen relationships and friendships are really important. As long as grades stay up, they don’t see each other too much and it seems healthy, I am fine with it. [/quote]

This is really cute!  And yes, the heartbreak will be bad I am sure, but I still love and treasure my teen romances.

I think parents having too much of a hold on our teens and not allowing them to do anything but school and parent planned activities has lead to the mental health downfall of this generation.  That's all they do and then go home alone and stare at screens.  They feel like babies.  They feel trapped. No responsibilities.  No autonomy.  No blossoming friendships and relationships.  No independence.  No jobs!
