1. well im 13, i think teen dating can be both. They should or they shouldnt. If they are mature and they love eachother for who they are and they are really happy together then they SHOULD date. But if they are imature, there doing to show off and they dont really love eachother then obviously they shouldnt. so it depends on who they are and how mature they are :) hope i helped
2. That's completely their decision, but they should take relationships more seriously. It's not about having the hottest guy or girl, and to never be single. Ever.
3. OK it depends what stage of teen age that you are in. I actually suggest being at least 19, because you have your schooling to worry about and boys can distract you. Not only that, but morally dating is actually for the ceremony of marriage. You only date someone if you are considering marrying them. Are you considering marriage? If not I don't suggest dating yet. You don't have to marry if you date; it depends on your point of view. If you still want to, it is your decision but they might distract you and even though you may not think so they can. Example/Scenario: Your date wants to go out the night you study for a huge test. What if you decide to go on the date? :( that wouldn't be good. You may fall too much in " love " :( and teen pregnancy may take place. It can happen. So my suggestion is to wait awhile, at least until you graduate. You may want to finish college. Don't let them get in the way of your studies, when you can be making a lot of cha-ching off of a good college education. We are made to be able to survive to be single, too, so don't be embarrassed if your peers make you suffer what they call peer pressure, you don't have to give in to popularity. Think about it. You have to suffer consequences your whole life for mistakes you make with boys but if you don't please your peers? so what? You may never see them again, anyway. You're only with them for a certain amount of years. My suggestion: Don't date in your teens. I hope this helped!
4. As a psychology student, I feel it is important. It opens up the ability to seek out the different gender(or feelings for the same) It opens up a social interaction that friendly relationships don't call for. I also am now engaged to my high school sweetheart, so I'm all for it!
