Are teens looking for love at too young of an age?

            Dating and relationships are controversial issues that through time have traditionally stayed the same. Our recent survey and study of 137 United Local High School students grades nine through twelve, gives a look into the generations to come possible point of view in the future. Many of the questions surveyed were answered in a traditional fashion or what you could say the way your parents and grandparents may have dated when they were teens. Due to the fact, United High School has an uneven distribution of males and females this survey may not be completely accurate according to a national survey. It may be called biased.
             Many hypothesis made were supported by the survey but some were surprising. You would think looking at things at an adult perspective that a proper age to start dating would be fifteen or sixteen. Due to the ability to drive to a date without mother or father. However, according to the survey thirty percent answered at fourteen you should be allowed to date. Nineteen percent thought at age thirteen or younger you should be allowed to date. In reality at an age so young what could possibly be found but trouble. More reasonably, twenty-four percent thought fifteen, sixteen percent thought sixteen, and one percent thought seventeen was a good age.
             Students answered somewhat contrary to when they actually started dating to when they think they should have been allowed to start dating. Some must have realized that dating at thirteen or fourteen is not a good age to start in on trying to find love. The majority, twenty-eight percent, admitted they started dating at age fourteen, but following closely on its heels was twenty-four percent who admitted to dating at thirteen and younger and twenty-four percent admitting to dating at fifteen. A mere thirteen percent said at age sixteen they started dating and one percent said at seventeen.
             This being a parents nightmare, students were asked when they felt the first physical emotion being kissing should occur.
