Teen relationships nowadays.

[BTran]

Um, hi? Im a teen and I was just wondering why teen's relationships are so corrupted nowadays? Like why does a boyfriend or girlfriend have to check up on each other every single second of the day. What happened to trust? Commitment to a relationship? Why is that the only girl or boy they can talk to is their boyfriend or girlfriend? Like I see that the relationships now are so tight, and don't last very long. Why have a relationship if you don't trust each other, or give each other some space? Why do us teens even have relationships if there no one is mature enough stay by your man, or woman?
Thanks for answering.

Oh, thanks. Im also new so.

I agree 100%. If you're not ready to trust someone, you're not ready for a relationship! And welcome to VT. :)

Well, you act like that happens in all relationships. I don't really know many couples who do that at all. Seth and I don't.

[BTran]

Well, I mean teenagers that are 15 or 16, you guys seem much older than 15 and 16, so you guys are more mature.

I only know one person who does this. She's 15. Nobody else I know (ages ranging from 12-19 approximately) does that. I wouldn't, if I was in a relationship. Seems pretty silly.

I'm seventeen, and he's eighteen. So not a big difference. But we've been together for two years, and I don't think we've ever done any of that.

I know there are couples who do, but I don't think it's as big of a problem as you think. Although girls do like to snoop, it's not usually out of a lack of trust, it's more of, "I want to know every single girl who speaks to my boyfriend, because she's going on my list."

Oh okay.

A bunch of people at my school are exactly like this. They'll get together and latch onto one another that they pretty much suffocate and by the end of the week they're sick of each other.

Although I have just come into a relationship and I do not want it to be like this at all. I want it to be like what some of the others said.

And yeah, those 2 week things in teenagers seem to happen because of things like this(from the OP)

I don't see the point in checking up on the other person's friends/latching on 24/7. If you don't trust the guy/girl to go about day to day activities, I don't think it will work out. One shouldn't be overly possesive.

To be honest, I don't think it's just nowadays, there's always been distrustful couples. It's true that it doesn't make much sense though. If you don't trust the other person you shouldn't have anything more than a casual relationship with them.

Hasn't it always been like that?
