Nothing usually bugs me more than teenage girls getting ahead of themselves in life. By 16 if you hadn't had sex or were ready to have it you were a rarity where I came from. And after you have went through that fumbling, completely unerotic experience with someone you never really want to speak to again, you now have to start the life long cycle of finding the next guy. The next guy to show to your friends, the next guy to take home to meet the parents, the next guy to make you feel good. At the time it all seems very relevant but as I sit and think to myself of what age these girls are it seems so rushed! At the ripe old age of 17, starting to feel as though you will never find a man should not be what you are thinking about!
It's my personal opinion that the younger you experiment with sex, the more likely it is that you mature too fast and that's where this new era of women in their early 20s looking for a man to settle down with comes from! If your getting things like sex and serious boyfriends started that early it's inevitable that you will get bored of the dating game by a younger age. Sometimes I feel myself wishing I had someone to cuddle in with, someone to kiss when I feel like it, someone to be there for me. Fair enough, that can all come with a casual boyfriend but at this age the cynicism that comes with trying to find a half decent man is probably going to ruin me by the time I'm 25 and I'll die alone with cats. These days it's all about being skinny and fabulous, and with more and more young girls becoming promiscuous so early, it's no wonder men think they can afford to be picky!
It scares me that I feel as though my life is slipping away, just because I don't have a serious boyfriend at 17! The fact I sit and wonder if I will ever find a husband is stupid, most women don't even meet their husbands until well into their 20's.
Everyone just needs to slow down, in this age of indepandant women, shouldn't we have the luxury of waiting for a man to find us?
