Subject: Task 10

Task 10

I have chosen the subject "Relationships and Dating" because some of the questions made by the teenagers are actually the same questions made by adults. This is not only an interesting coincidence but it also shows that sometimes people through moralist actions, or even shame, opt to remain in silence. Most of the questions in this category are related to Sex, and Sex is always a delicate subject for most people still nowadays.
I selected here one or two most frequent questions and a summary of some pieces of advice.
The first question is "Why is sex so important to guys? I mean, why do they want it, more than girls? ". This is the original question of a 15-old-girl. Now there you go some consideration about the advice:
- All pieces of advice are coincidentally given by women (I am not being sexist)
- Only one of the women disagreed with the statement proposed by the teenager;
- Most advice treats it as boys acting like that for being immature (Which is not
Completely wrong);
- If someone read the advice, he/she will realize that this is exactly the same
situation in Brazil.

Although most of the people who asked for advice in this section were girls, I decided to select here one question from a boy. Here it is the situation: He is 16 and he is confused about how to distinguish a date from a relationship. Actually he just want to date, and the interesting point is that he does not want to deceive the girls. Can you women believe in this guy? Well the point is that here are the comments and suggestions:
- We have three pieces of advice, all from men (interesting isn't it?);
- Two of them felt kind of sympathetic to the boy's situation and their suggestions
were completely supporting to the boy;
- The last suggestion was the only which really seems to come from an adult.
He suggested the boy to discuss the idea with the girl, being sincere and avoid to
much communication between the dates, if he does not want a relationship. Now if
He thinks he is interested in having it, to make a kind of probationary period
before making the decision.

If you think it interesting and would like to discuss or comment it, send me an e-mail.

Hugs!! Marco
