I. Introduction
Man is a social being. God made man to be with others in fulfilling his roles and duty. Therefore, man is meant to have a partner in life. Someone he could count on in times of sorrow and joy. He is not to be left alone in this world. But the youths of today do not really seem to know the true essence of being in this kind of commitment. Most teenagers think of this as a game not knowing the effects it could bring not only to them but also to the other relationships that they have.
Throughout life, the definition of a boyfriend or girlfriend changes. In elementary school, a relationship is defined by giggling and saying "hi" in the hallways. Yet when a teenager gets to high school, a relationship is seen in a whole new perspective. Holding hands and hanging out with their partner in a group is considered a strong relationship.
Couples become obsessed with each other. This is when jealousy steps in. Fourteen-year-old girls are crying in school washrooms because their boyfriend was simply talking to another girl. Boys are causing fights because another guy was looking at his girlfriend. These teens are spending every minute they can with their boyfriend or girlfriend, leaving no time for friends, school or being a teenager.
Is this healthy? Of course every teenager at some point
