I love Islamic brainwashing. Right, just because you're going on a date with someone, or dating someone or whatever, it doesn't mean you'll end up having sex. It's pretty difficult to actually accidentally have sex - you either have to be extremely drunk (which is pretty unlikely for a Muslim in the first place) or pretty stoned (also unlikely). You / usually/ have to make the concious decision to have sex, and at your age will hopefully have the sense to say no. I find it amusing how some parents think they're protecting their children by stopping them from dating. While I can't be in a position to explain to them how ridiculously damaging that is for a child's social and mental development I can hopefully impress that upon you. The 'dating game' is played for fun by most teens; and it is just that: fun. The majority of the time it's completely harmless and lets you become comfortable with yourself, social situations and other people in general - all very important skills. There is absolutely no reason to not date when you're 14. When you're getting to 16-18 or so and alcohol and sex becomes a more significant part of the scene in general, then perhaps parents should be worried. But given the experience you could take from getting in there early for a few years, you'd be better positioned to make sensible decisions on those things. |
