1. You can expect to be lied to so plan on it. He or she will say things and not mean them in order to get what they want. Most teens are not very mature so plan on things happening that will piss you off.
If he or she is not willing to marry you because they say it will ruin everything it really means: I’m not ready to be in a real relationship right now so I am going to use you for the time being and I don’t want any responsibility for it either.
2. Not much, don’t expect a whole hellava lot from your teenage relationship. If you think your in love, most likely your in love with the idea of being in love rather than being in love with him or her.Most teen relationships do not last so enjoy them while you are in them. When I say not to expect much does not mean you should not expect respect from your partner but what you get may be entirely different.
3. Expect to have fun, sex is great when you are young and so full of energy. Sex is great but many times the things that follow are not so great especially if your whole life changes because of it. Many times waiting to have sex can be a great benefit.
4. If you were brought up religious then you can expect to deal with guilt. Religion has some valid points as far as having sex with the same person all the time and never anyone else will keep you away from terrible diseases. Having sex with little kids is major wrong. Having sex with someone else’s husband or wife is wrong and look at the problems it causes.
5. If you are really sexually active expect to get pregnant because if you have sex 100 times the chances you will get pregnant are quite high even when you use a condom.
6. Don’t expect the father to stay with you and marry you and get a job and stay by your side. It is an unrealistic expectation. If he does and that is what you want then great.
7. Expect to have to decide whether to have an abortion, adopt the baby to some nice family or to keep the baby. Low figures state that you need at least 500-700 dollars more each month to pay for doctor visits, diapers, formula, clothes etc….Before you have sex ask yourself if you want this guy as the father of your kids.
8. Don’t expect a long term relationship, kids grow up and then change, they go off to college, get jobs, get married to other people and move on with their lives.
9. Most parents will tell you all the same things I have said and then you get sick of it because we say them over and over again. We screwed up and now we don’t want you to fuck up like we did. We don’t want you to have to go through all of the pain that we did. Expect PAIN.
10. Expect your parents to let you make your own mistakes and deal with them. Expect your parents to let you pay for your own school, own car insurance and your own bills.
11. Expect to be used if you let it happen. Expect to cry and be hurt because that will happen too. Does this mean you should not have teen relationships? No, just keep all these things in mind and set your limits so you don’t put yourself into dangerous situations.
12. I hope this blog was not too negative, even relationships when your older are hard and you will still deal with many of these same issues in your 20s and 30s but at least you will be able to deal with them easier rather than trying to deal with things while you’re still living with your parents and going to school.
