Teenaged dating

I just had to say something about the comment I got about teenaged dating. I had a message from a young lady saying she is 16 and dating a 24 year old man. Her mother doesn't like it but the young lady believes that she is old enough to make her own dating decisions.

Here it is. Hear me. As much as you think you know at 16 your mother knows more. She's been where you are and she has also been to places you haven't been. At 16 you don't even know how much it is you don't know.

I will be 49 next month I STILL listen to my mother because no matter how old I am she's older and knows more. Age is not just a number. It is a short hand way of measuring experience. Certainly some 16 year olds are wiser and more experienced than others. But I have yet to meet a 16 year old in love who knew more than her mother about what that meant.

I don't know the guy your dating but I know from what I'VE seen when a 24 year old man is dating a sixteen year old typically it is not cool. Not to mention it is a felony in some states.

That love thing can make your brain mushy especially when you are young. My opinion: LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!!!!!
