Let’s face it guys you will be needing money to buy your girlfriend  gift for valentine’s day,

I’m not sure your hectic schedule in school can afford you time for a part-time job, besides who is willing to employ a 14year old… So it leaves you with just one option ‘POCKET MONEY’ from dad… What happens if dad is broke…. Lol(just a scenario)

The point is this: You don’t need the stress over money for now.. Leave it till you become an adult.. Common Free yourself GUYS!!!

2. As a teenager, managing the feelings and intensity that comes with a romantic relationship could be very overwhelming due to inexperience with balancing love life and other equally important aspect of life, like matured adults do.

This leads to distraction and lack of concentration in your studies,a slowed down assimilation in class leading to poor academic performance in school…Lots of day dreaming and fantasizing is involved (especially for the girls).

I once heard of a story of a girl who was always fond of sleeping during classes because she was on BBM chatting all night with her boyfriend.. She had to repeat the whole session because her interest in school declined as she did not face her books Instead she was Facebooking… So sad.

3. Hey! teenagers, whether you believe it or not you are not emotionally matured just yet. Various researches and understudy of teenage relationships have shown that a greater percentage of these adolescent romance are crush and infatuation driven, hence they are short lived, intense, and many times reckless in nature.

You are Prone to many mistakes because the fresh, running, untamed testosterone and oestrogen (very normal to your young developing body) are running wild and curiously ready for new exploration and If not well controlled, it could sadly end up in unprotected premarital sex, unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis, gonorrhoea, HIV, etc. (FAR MORE THAN YOU BARGAIN FOR)

   4. It robs you of a free, fun, and happy adolescent life.. For instance, you have been seeing this guy or dating this girl for some months,you then find yourself kind of trapped with that person for that period of time  struggling with the burden of always trying to keep him or her happy, fighting and competing with potential rivals, and dreading the event of a break up, coping with shame, rejection, and low self-esteem of a failed relationship,mismanagement of quality time that would have been invested building other helpful, positive, constructive and platonic friendship with other peers.

5. Because you are still in a journey of self-discovery, you might have a misplacement of your real self and identity, as you try to take up somebody else’s values, interest, lifestyle just because you are in a relationship with them and you are all out to impress, in order to sustain it.

These are things many adults would have loved to know when they were of your age … Don’t despise it, life is about the choices you make either good or bad. Avoid mistakes by learning to acquire knowledge.

Remember that the one who made you so unique and the one who Loves you so much will not want you to make poor choices, get to know him better, he will make your teen years all so easy and stress free no matter the pressure…
