It diverts their mind film studies

 Relationship-building is an important skill, and should be developed early.

 No because when your a teen you can learn from your mistakes (if you make them) and look for signs of the same men/boys that screwed you over.

 Why would they be a waste of time? They give practice for marriage, or anything of the sort. It's also a part of growing up

 Obviously to all who agree that they're a waste of time, have had some bad relationships. I think that they can be fun and it's a part of growing up as well.

 Those who think that teen relationships are a waste of time have obviously had some sucky relationships. Haven't you ever heard of highschool sweethearts. Most of them are teenagers.

 I don't think there is anything wrong with teen relationships. It helps teen learn from there mistakes and helps them to mature. It also is an experience so teens will know if it's true love in the future.

 We learn from the mistakes we make as teens

 No ITS NOT!! Its a way to know life a bit more

 No. Teens starts their relationships when they are teens and then it will develop and and and.

 They're not always a waste of time if you learn from them. I think it can help you find out what you want from a relationship and indeed WHO you want, what type of person you would look for in adulthood and maybe settle down with. It can also encourage further understanding of ones own gender or opposite gender. Just because a relationship ends, doesn't mean it's been a waste of time necessarily.

 Know what you want in a future partner. Dating other people can help you realize who is out there and who you shouldn't be with and what you tolerate and don't. People who have not been involved in relationships as a teen feel that they must go out there and marry the first person that they see. Let the kids be kids while encouraging them not to step into the adult world but having sex until marriage. People learn best from their own mistakes and successes.

 I do not think it is a waste of time when i was a teen i had my first love and we are still friends to this day.

 I think teen relationships are good i have been with my boyfriend since i was 14 and I'm now 19 and still with him and we are living together...

 I think innocent teen relationships are a healthy learning experience. If we didn't all have our hearts broken at a young age, it would be much more awkward to learn later in life. When you are a teen, all your friends are having the same feelings about boys/girls, so you can relate. If they didn't start to date/have relationships until later, it would slow down the maturity process. Teens that feel ready should be allowed to have relationships.

 There is no age limit on love.

 Teen relationships, often lead to long lasting , lifetime friendships. And more. At the very least, it is a testing ground for teens ,to test their social and relationship' skills.'

 Teen relationships? Sexual, casual dating? What exactly do you mean? I think innocent boyfriend girlfriend relationships are fine. They prepare the heart and mind for the future, for coming experiences. We learn to understand the opposite sex, we experiment and explore. That's how we develop ourselves. It's an important stepping stone to marriage. One should not marry without dating experience behind them.

 I met my life mate at 15 :) i am married and 23

 Ha!so what about high school sweethearts.

 Teens have rights to have BF's & GF's too. It's tiring when you walk down the hallways and you don't anyone there w/ you. I wish I had a BF everyday. Teen relationships are not wasteful.

 Who said u that. U don't have any friend.

 If you have relationships as a teen you can learn what types of people are good to date and who isn't. You have to go through some heartbreaks but its all part of growing up. It makes you stronger and less naive when you are older

 You learn from your mistakes, and every experience makes you stronger

 Teen relationships help prepare us and let us learn from mistakes how to be a better person or figure out what we really want in from a person

 Teens, as all of us need to grow in love and learn from their experiences. I feel that someone should never go into a marriage without first dating other people so they can better understand how relationships work and how to be a better spouse. As the saying goes, Live and Learn.

 I, too, would like to know what kind of relationships you are referring to. Having dealings with others is part of the socialization process. It's part of growing up.
