Do YOU think there is something wrong with me, because my parents sure do?

Of course there is nothing wrong with you.

If you don't know anyone you're interested in romantically, you shouldn't date. Period.

I mean - weird. My parents would have been totally psyched if, instead of focusing on boys, I had worked harder in school. Iguess the grass is always greener, you know?

There are no hard and fast timelines for falling in love, for sexual experiementation - for any of it. I guess I would just come up with a gentle but firm tolken response for the next (billion) time(s) they give you a hard time about it - something like "I haven't fallen in love yet. Until then, I'm not going to sell myself short".

*Shakes head*. Your parents are lucky if this is, in fact, their greatest concern for you. 17. My God.

I didn't date until I was in college, and then only because I thought that's what I was "supposed" to do. But I found out that guys generally are just in it for the sex. They are irresponsible and don't care if you get pregnant or they or you get an STD. You don't need to date until you are looking for a husband, and that may be a decade from now. You don't have to have sex with them to have a successful date. The good ones are worth waiting for. You might tell your parents next time they badger you that you are waiting for the right guy to come along. There is nothing wrong with you. In fact, you're a lot more mature than most of the kids who post questions Yahoo Answers.

That's absolutely silly. I think there's plenty of people who don't really date much in high school. It's not even important, anyway. If you do date someone, they should like you for you. You shouldn't change to get a boyfriend, of course not. They wouldn't like you for you, then.

That's such a stupid thing for them to get on you about. It's not even a big deal. Some people just don't feel like dating in high school for whatever reason, and I'm glad that you're not determined to get one now just because your parents say you should.

You'll find someone. And when you do, they'll like you for you because you haven't changed yourself for them. Your parents seriously need to back off and realize that there are more important things than getting a boyfriend. That's crazy.

I don't think there is anything wrong with you. Just tell them that you're trying to focus on school right now and you don't want to get pregnant.
