Teenagers have come a long way in the field of dating and relationships. There was a time when teenagers went on dates where they were chaperoned by parents. They were not allowed to date alone. Parents were very cautious and always monitored what their kids were doing.
In our society today, teenage dating has become very relaxed and open. It is common for teenagers to go on dates with members of the opposite sex alone. They will go out to dinner, go to the movies, attend school dances, or many other things. Parents have gotten to where they let their children date and let them go about dating unsupervised and on their own. Sometimes, this works well and other times it can result in lifelong consequences.
