Like all things,there are questions and answers about everything.we all have questions about everything right? Einstein had questions. Thomas Jefferson did also. They both found answers. I mean,nobody knows that for sure. We could still be using pie and not knowing Einstein made it up while baking or something. Humans wonder where we evolved from. Science says monkeys. Others introduce religion. Also with habits,science says its in our heads and use words such as disorder or mental issues,religion says its the devil and his way of spreading evil. Speaking of habits,why do teens consistently date in this generation?
Could it be because of the teen hormone craze and being in a relationship calms those hormones? Maybe being in a relationship gives you permission to do things that you wouldn't be able to otherwise outside of a relationship without the derogatory labels society throws on teens. Maybe the thought of being alone is too unbearable, inevitably causing the average teen to seek a partner, maybe because of lack of friendship(s) or trust. Or maybe, but very unlikely, the average teen is truly, subconsciously seeking a permanent parter to build a suitable life with. Partnership or relationships provide a security that society accepts as opposed to drugs and other things that could be used to fill a void in a young teens heart,or even life.
Is it because they lack a sense of security and a partner provides that for them? Whether its family problems at home or social problems at school, seeking a partner seems a pretty common way to deal with both of these mid-life crisis' that the average High School, even Jr. High student deals with on a daily I basis. Despite the pain of constant break-up from relationships, no matter how long it lasted, teens still continue to seek a partner. Hence the saying "There's always more fish in the sea". Relationships are just a stepping stone. You would think that lessons would eventually be learned after so many failed relationships, but unfortunately they never are.
I think that relationships start off at first as curiosity when seeking an escape from family or social issues instead of reverting to drugs or alcohol. But the two have the same effect. As drugs and alcohol are addicting and habit forming,I believe relationships are also. You see it displayed on tv, in high schools, even in public. Each relationship is
Iike a high. Once you get the first taste of it, it makes you feel amazing. But eventually as time passes by and it starts to wear off,you're immediately seeking another. Next thing you know,you're addicted to it and an invisible habit has been formed.

I totally agree about how relationships can become addicting. You always see some guys or girls that are always in a relationship but with a different person because I feel once you get in the loop of being relationships it becomes a habit and when your alone it doesn't feel right. Being alone doesn't feel right for them so therefore they find someone new even if it's someone that doesn't really seem to work with them. There always in a relationship. I see relationships is just like a high. They make you feel up but being young, I n my book it'll always come down and the come down by being left can make someone's mentality horribly demented and ruin social skills so I feel that we need to make sure we want to be with a person and be emotionally ready for whatever that can happen.
Tyler, I really liked what you wrote. How you started out in the beginning of your paper with question about science and then move on to teen dating. I especially liked how your theory that we need to be in a relationship because it's just human nature. Thank you for writing about this topic. I don't think anybody else chose this topic so your lucky.
I agree I think that people don't need to be in relationships they are in relationships for the sex or for the free gifts I think that if you are in a relationship you don't always have to be buying gifts I mean thats a waste of money. Relationships should also be a balance between each other like doing stuff that you like one day and the next day you let the girl pick something kind of like alternating. Then relationships can be fun and not one of those relationships that are the ones with "Benifits" such as sex and drugs. Relationships should end with a mutual feeling such as realizing that you want to move on try a different girl cause it would get kind of boring dating the same girl for two years that would be a complete hell if you ask me. Always trying to please the other one, trying to think of things to. So yeah there's my Input.
very well said and I agree with this. And one thing that everyone needs to think about is that the understanding is never reall going to be understood. It's not how we explain but how we put it. Or it this is the end, where did it ever start.
