Many of us teenagers seem to be looked at differently just because of the fact that we've never had boyfriends/girlfriends. Most of us are obssesed with the fact that a relationship with a person is needed ASAP.

Well, I have something to tell you all. There are more important things in life than going out with people you've just met.Seriously, I think you need to relax and take a deep breath. In my opinion most people that are desperately trying to hook up with other people, are very insecure about themselves. If you are one of these peopl, I hope I am not offending you. I am very interested in this topic, as you can see, therefore am writing about it.

I want to say that having a relationship at such a young age can sometimes turn into a huge mistake. At 15, I still do not have a boyfriend and hope that those of you who are my age or younger and haven't had a relaionship either,don't rush it. You have a very bright future ahead of you and there will always be a time for everything. I want to say that I am very happy with my state of being and wish that my happiness doesn't change.

Yes, I do hope to have a relationship later on, but it still seems a litle too far ahead for me. Most of us have hopes and dreams of marrying our first and only boyfriends. I myself come to believe that it is a fabulous idea. Don't be ashamed if you haven't ha a relationship yet because the truth is that the longer you wait for ther right one to come, the better your life with that person will be.

Remember, take your time trhinking about your futures and make the decisions that are best for you and nobody else!

Thank God that someone else is thinking like me. Our bodies our TEMPLES~ we need to treat them like that too!

With age come maturity and wisdom, qualities that most us young folk have not quite developed, our brains are still growing.

I believe that at this age we should just be focusing on our selves, preparing us for the world, hanging out with our FEMALE COMPANIONS, not swamping ourselves with boy drama. Isn't school enough?

vamp-gal agony auntHeyy,

I think this is a fantastic article! Seriously, it's awesome. So many teenagers (girls, and even boys), desperatly want a relationship for one reason or another, and I think it's great that you are sharing your view with people about this.

I am 15, and have always been single, my whole life. But I'm not that bothered by it, sure, my friends have had boyfriends, but that's their choice, I'd rather wait for the right person, and, like you said, the longer you wait, the more chance of that happeneing.

I am not looking for a boyfriend, I think I'll focus on my exams, and getting into college, that's my aim at the moment.

Life isn't always about, relationships, boyfriends, girlfriends, life is for you to live, doesn't mean you have to live your whole life with someone different every few months/years.

Either way, I LOVE this article, it's honest and helpful and great in so many other ways.

Thanks for writing this!

I'm 14, and feeling quite left out, because all my friends have boyfriends at the moment, though deep down I know I want to wait for the right guy. Thanks for telling me I'm not alone!

Kitty-katy.
