Being single is GREAT. I have come to the realization that dating in high school isn't such a good thing (from my experience) after all. But you make your mistakes and you learn from them. I'm 17 years old and from my high school experience with dating I have promised myself that I'll never date again. I'm emotionally and maybe even mentally scarred. I don't want to get into details but I was too young for a relationship. I won't say I was phyically abused because as much as he was aggressive with me I think it was more and less than an abusive relationship. Until now I'm not sure what to call it. I mean someone say the love yet hurt you. And to top it off when they hurt and say "I'm sorry" yet find a way to justify thier wrong: "I'm sorry but I went through alot when I was a kid." Then when I say you know what I forgive you but that doesn't mean what you did is right or justifiable by what you went through while you were a kid. I was naive and had my emotions played with and my heart broken. I can't trust people anymore it's horrible. I know God is healing my hurt and mending the broken pieces of my heart. I don't know when I will be able to date or get married an trust someone enough. Maybe in the next 5 to 8 years but for right now and the next 4 years God willing I can't. If in the future I have children both male or female, I'll be honest with them. Dating in High School not such a good thing. Mommy had to find that out the bad way every bad way.

At least you learned about the dating and what relationships can do to you. i wouldn't deprive your children of the dating experience.
it is important to understand the dating experience and to understand the dymanics and emotional pain that goes along with it.
i would just be supportive of whatever they choose to do in high school. let them know to be careful, but i wouldn't deny them the experience.
i am sorry what happened to you.
While I think you are wise to take a break from dating and not to date before you are ready, I would say never say never. You probably will date again. While dating in high school has risks, it isn't always bad. As long as it isn't too serious. I was more concerned about having fun than looking at the future. Everyone's experience is different.
