why do parents make a big deal about liking a guy (or in the case of the male, a girl)?
It seems so pointless to tease about the inevitable.
besides that, it's a common gesture of affection to buy flowers, but when I get some, my parents go off the wall. yes, I'm young, but that doesnt mean I cant start a relationship that has a decent chance of working out. And besides that, they Know I'm not so stupid as to run off and get into trouble (for lack of a better euphemism), so why do they still fuss about it?

Logic-Man answered Sunday February 22 2004, 10:18 pm: Dare I say it once more? Ah yes, for I never tire: Find me one modern society teenager not willing to have sex with whoever he/she can when/where-ever he/she can and I shall find you a horse who can run even though he's dead. It cannot be done. Granted, a small portion of teenagers know the morals of the world. In your case you and your friends. However, Miss IB-Programme, you know not the real world. They flip out because they do not know the qualities of your boyfriend (that's me!). They have right to fear. Any parent would. They have no way of ensuring your safety, whether I'm drinking alcohol, smoking cigaretts or playing with matches (fire pretty). Now, flipping over flowers? YOU'RE 14!! I've said for long high school relationships never last. They know it too. Yet, there is always an exception. Young realtionships fail because neither partner cares for the other. They see each other as expendable make-out...-with-people.. things. Whatever. Also, it's fun to tease. Most teenagers are uptight ********, but not some. Learn to accept, amybe play along, and they should stop. You uptight *****. P.S. When you have a kid you'll feel the same. You never really know your kid. They do not know your sensibility.
