Teenagers undergo hormonal changes that affect their moods. They may go into depression, become moody and loners too. Meeting a person and wanting to spend time with him/her is a natural instinct. The physical attractiveness is the basis of building a relationship. Teens are influenced by romantic novels, images, movies which attract them to the good looking, well dressed person. They start re-living some fantasy of love at first sight. It’s just attraction due to the hormonal changes.
Possessiveness is another myth that teenagers are accused of. When one is going through a transitional phase and period of loneliness the person who gives you comfort is the best person in your life. The hormonal changes create the emotion of jealousy and this may lead to teenage violence.
Teenagers believe that this relationship is the most valued and serious relationship in their life. Parents must encourage group dating and communicate more with the teenagers to keep them out of trouble. Don’t be too harsh but simply discipline them by explaining why certain acts are forbidden.
Mr. Right will come along and sweep you off your feet never happens. Love conquers all (race, caste, religion) is never true as grown up couples are known to break up over a brand of toothpaste. Your love cannot change the weirdo. He/she is no diamond that will get polished with your love but will remain a weirdo only.
Maybe sitting by the phone and waiting for your date to call may have changed but the myths of teenage romance continue till date.

3. Daughters should tell their parents about their dating partners and tell them about him in more details. If possible they should also introduce him to their parents.
4. Teenagers love to party, even fathers have gone through this in their teenage life. Don’t say no straight away and do a background check where she is going before coming to any conclusions. Even if you say no, please back it up with good reasons.
