Teenage dating is becoming more and more popular and unfortunately, the rate of Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) has also increased a lot. Most people start dating as early as nine years old and if you are to ask the older generation when they started dating they will probably also tell you they started dating in their teenage years. STD is got when a partner who is not infected has unprotected sex with someone who is infected. Examples of STD’s are genital herpes, chlamydia, trichomoniais and papillomavirus. Recent research has indicated that more and more teenagers are found to be infected with at least one of this STDs or that they had been infected with one of them and got treated and non of their parents even knew about it.
Teenage dating has come to be more sexually involving and unlike in the past where such relationships did not involve sex, nowadays, teenagers have a thing of saying that if you love someone you show them that you like them by having sex with them. The problem with this is that they trust each other so much that they rarely even think of having protected sex. They not only subject themselves to having STD but also HIV Aids Virus and for the girls becoming pregnant and mothers at a very young age. For the boys, they become fathers at a very tender age. In a study conducted by the federal health officials, they found out that one out of four young women who are between the age of 14 and 19 are infected with at least one of the STD.
People who have seen things figures about teenage dating and STD are wondering who to blame. Some of them have blamed the education system saying that they are not giving their teenage children enough information on sex. However, we cannot entirely blame the education system. The parents too are to blame. Most parents shy away from talking to their teenage daughters and sons about the dangers of having sex. Sex is a subject that no one should shy away from talking about. This is because when you shy away from it, people are bound to get hurt by getting the sexually transmitted diseases which if in the first place they had enough information they wouldn’t have contracted it. Parents should talk to their teenager dating children and prevent this epidemic from getting worse.
There are some people who have suggested that free condoms should be put in schools for teenage dating couple to use. However, not everyone is okay with it. The question still remains, should they put the condoms in schools and encourage their children to indulge in early sex or should they refuse and let the teenagers continue getting infected? The solution to this might not be got very soon and when we are still wondering what we should do, the teenagers are continuing to infect each other and if we are not careful it is going to be a world wide catastrophe.

Every parent is almost afraid of when their teenage will start dating, some parents would even love to put their teenage children under lock and key but that is not entirely possible unless you are some parent who does not respect your teenage freedom. Teenage dating is almost unavoidable but parents need not be afraid. It should be one of the best times in your lives. This is the time you can mould your child to be a better person in terms of relationships. This is when you can teach your child not to be a ‘player’ and to be responsible in future. Infact, if this process is handled well, i dare to say the world would have less heart aches.
When your teenager is teenage dating one of the things you should do is to talk to them. Get to know why they are in this relationship and what they do. You should also know whether they are serious about it or they are just joking. While talking you can even get to know if they are in this relationship out of peer pressure or they are the ones who wanted to be in this relationship. While talking to them you can come up with a few rules that your teenage child should adhere to while dating and make them know breaking any of the rules are unacceptable and it is punishable. You can also make them know that you are the parent and you are the one who gets to decide what goes on in your house.
Make sure your teenager comes back on time every time they go out with their boyfriend or girlfriend. You can also let them know keeping time is essential and that when they come any minute later, they will be punished. This prevent your teenage dating child to get into trouble by either going to clubs. You should also make sure you meet with the teenage who wants to take your child out. You might be able to see through them and see if their intention is good or they have a hidden agenda. A child psychology can be easy to understand and telling a child is lying is easier than most people think. A child cannot be brighter than you, you can give them a benefit of doubt but you should be able to know if they are lying.
Be open, trustful and respectful to your teenage dating child. Children just like adults do not like it when they cannot be trusted yet they have done nothing to warrant your mistrusts. Once you show your child you do not trust them, you will be sending them a message that whatever they do you will still not trust them enough to believe what they tell you. They might even do something just to prove you right and you do not want that to happen. Be open to them and let them share with you their experiences. Be respectful by respecting their privacy. Going through their closet or school bag will not help you much, it will only drive the child further away from you

Most parents can not bare the thought of their children having boyfriends or girlfriends and you can not entirely blame them. Teenage relationship are coming up very fast and some of them as not as innocent as we would like to believe. You ask a teenager if they have ever had sex and you will be surprised at the kind of answers you will get. There are children who have had sex at a very early age. As early as seven years. It is a no wonder that parents are scared by the idea of their teenage daughter or son having a relationship. They can not trust them enough to think that their love is genuine and innocent. With the increased rate of sexually transmitted diseases, more and more parents are worrying about their teenagers.
At this age most teenagers are getting to know who they are and discovering what they can do. Unfortunately, they also want to experiment with their bodies to see what they can do. As much as there are teenagers who love each other truly there are some who want to experiment on teenage relationship. This could be to satisfy the feeling they have started feeling that was not there before or simply because they read some material on love and sex and they want to know if it will really work. With the coming of computers and with it the Internet, it has become even more difficult for parents to control what their children see. Sometimes restricting them only pushes them to want to know why you do not want them to watch or read some material. There are many magazines that are sold in the streets and supermarkets that have very many articles on sex and love.
However parents should not worry so much about their teenage relationship. If you bring your child right and you are not shy about talking about matters that affect their sexuality, a teenager should be able to differentiate between what is right and wrong. Parents should get material about love and sex from the Internet or buy books that talk about love and sex. Encourage your children to read to know what to do in case they feel they would like to experiment with their bodies. You can also enroll them for sports to get their minds of relationships at an early age.
Encouraging your child to talk to you about teenage relationship and what disturbs them is also another way of preventing them from entering into relationships and doing things to please their mates. Whenever you talk to your teenage you get to know what they are thinking and what they want to do. Just listening to them will tell you if you can be able to trust him or her to do the right thing. With the right attitude and talking to them constantly you should be able to convince them not to do most of those things. But at the end of it all, you should let them make their own decisions and if they make a wrong choice, let them know you do not approve. Remember it is at this age that they become defiant, do not push them further away.

FRANCIS K GITHINJI asked:
Sumptuous, innocent, untainted are the images that float in your mind whenever you think of dating a teenager. Many a times a teenager doesn’t really know what he/she wants in life. The priorities of a teenager keep on changing. Just like the weather is unpredictable, a teenager will keep on changing goal posts. Dating a teenager sometimes is not as easy as it appears. It is confusing that is why you probably had to search for an article on teenager dating.
In article on teenager dating, a teenager is viewed as a person torn in between childhood and adulthood; a person at the threshold. A person who really likes a lot of attention, He/she is vulnerable to hormonal changes resulting to mood swings and anger tantrums. Cross the path of a teenager and he/she will not hesitate to throw your clothes and assortments through the window onto the street. A teenager will stop at nothing to act weird even in front of your family. They are such carefree birds you will have to handle them with kid gloves.
Sometimes a teenager suffers from an inner fear of rejection. This is a person who is so self conscious that you might rub the teenager the wrong way without knowing it. A teenager keeps you on your toes, makes you to break a cold sweat not knowing what is the next move! I think dating a teen is good for the heart, it gets the old thing pumping. In relationship with a teenager, your mind has to be versatile. Article on teenager dating advises that you must have a capacity to handle the many changes you will be subjected to.
A teenager follows the wind of change just like the flag follows the wind. The hottest and craziest thing to hit the town is fodder for the teenager. The hottest night spots in town and its environs are a must visit for teenager. Maybe you have outgrown or you are no longer interested in hard clubbing all night from Tuesday to Saturday like your teenage date. But again you do not want to look old-fashioned, you do not want to be a relic of the past. I once read a book titled “ article dating a teenager” which emphasized that it is healthy to interact with teenagers because it helps people remain young. I am sure you do not want to look like a person headed for an old people’s home.
Understand yourself and identify your priorities. Do you have anything in common with your teenage partner? Are your interests the same? Are you compatible or are you seeing each other out of convenience? Do you have any remote similarities in terms of goals and visions? What do you want out of this relationship or what are your expectations from this relationship on teenager dating? It calls for such a careful analysis otherwise you might be toying with a time bomb. The unpredictability of a teenager is legendary. You will agree on terms and condition with a teenager today and come tomorrow the goal-posts have been shifted. Be rational in your teenager dating, do not compete with a teenager on trivial issues. You will agree with my article on teenager dating that when the teenager is bent on a showdown with you, assume a cool and composed demeanor. Avoid being drawn into a heated exchange otherwise your teenager dating might be headed for the rocks.
