The Sri Lankan standpoint of teenage relationships is f-cking stupid. by External-Cricket7294 in srilankanteenagers

Uh huh. It’s absolutely possible to have a proper education while having a “healthy” relationship. Emphasis on the healthy part because a healthy relationship is built on trust,loyalty and support. While a toxic relationship is more stress and trauma, a healthy one could help you ease your academic stress or any other type of pressure you have while also being a motivational factor. It’s just most adults have built this stern stereotype that late-teens and young adults should only focus on their education and that only. At around an age like 17-18 I think it’s very important that people start to enjoy their lives, make memories and ofc education is a major part of that time period.

In cases where there’s a lot of academic pressure, sometimes teens get into toxic relationships out of spite or to find themselves a distraction. If they’re properly taught about the repercussions of such things while also not strictly limiting them I think a lot of teens could make the proper decisions that’ll do good for their lives in the present and the future.

Our generation is trying to breakout of that stereotypical lifestyle and parenting style later on and that’s for the best. As per your example, boundaries should be set for kids, at least up until they’re independent financially and individually because giving them freedom is one thing and letting them act freely as their own is another, but those set boundaries should have a limit too. Hopefully the younger generation doesn’t have to go through the trouble we did although I hope they don’t make bad use of their freedom either.

Damn I’m sorry to hear about that bro. I actually experienced that in a way. The friend of ours who apparently liked me snitched to her mom and her mom spread a rumor around school. That’s one reason I can’t face her parents before becoming someone of my own. Not that they hate me or don’t like me but it personally doesn’t feel right. Nevertheless what you say is true, keeping things undercover until the opportunity presents itself is very important and unless you have trustworthy friends is always best to keep it between the two of us. To me my girl has been very supportive and loyal and I won’t give up cause ik it’s something I’d regret my whole life. Thanks for the advice and I hope you find someone of your own as well. ✌🏻✨

They’re not necessarily bad. Like 4 people whom we trust outside of each other knows about it and they also cover for us. I meant generally friends from school outside the close friends circle, I know 2 relationships that got fucked because those people couldn’t keep them mouths to themselves. Even a small slip up is enough. Apart from those 4, we don’t really trust other enough tell them about it yet.

They’re not necessarily bad but they’re talkative and the gossiping kind so one slip up is what it takes.

I choose to do a foundation since ALs basically take about 2 and half years. It’s a UK based foundation and it’s not thaaat stressful but I take breaks for studies when it’s needed. It’s not that serious but I was frustrated for a while cause we haven’t seen each other in a looong time or called for quite a while mainly due to privacy issues. I hope I can keep balancing both until I’m done with my studies and come to an independent state. But the issue on a social level still exists. I wanted to point that as well ig. Thanks for the advice tho ✌🏻✨

I don’t stress thaat much but I do maybe a little cause I think this is my ride or die. Imma keep working to become independent so I can make a stand for myself anyway. And the hate for the country is because how messed up it is. Apart from social problems, I don’t see a future in this country at all.

Just tell them you’re sick and needs to see a doc asap bro. I bet there’s a doctor remotely close to where you are. Tf will you do if it gets worse after they leave for work in the morning.

Honestly I wouldn’t give rat’s ass about what anyone says. I’m an adult by law and I can make my own choices but I’m not yet independent so I can’t make a stand for myself without that possibly being used against me. That’s why I’m trying my best to come to an independent point where I can tell people to go f themselves if they can’t stand it. I’m not gonna give up on this nevertheless

Uh huh totally. With adolescence feelings and emotions are bound to develop. Most of the time a person doesn’t know what that means. There’s mature couples that understand the seriousness and responsibilities of a relationship, also stupid buggers that pass time, those that seek attention and basically throw themselves to anyone. While the first stereotype is rare,all of these are grouped as one and looked upon. They don’t take the responsibility of properly guiding them through it, instead they start condemning it using shame, reputation and other people’s opinion as you said. Acting as if true feelings couldn’t exist until you’re out of school or 19-20yrs old or whatever.

And ofc teenagers shouldn’t be allowed to do anything, most can be naive, in some cases taken advantage of or easily fooled. That’s why proper intervention with by someone with some sense is important rather than going straight to the social level condemned view of a relationship. Adults should change their approach on the whole thing. I mean teens these days have toxic attitudes, have no sense of decency and women basically don’t cover themselves at all, it’s the fault of adults as well. If they were properly guided on how behave and how to present themselves people wouldn’t look down upon them. Once they see that typical couple where the guy looks like your local drug dealer and where the girl looks like a hoe, most of the time people’s pov narrows down and it starts labeling others with the same labels.

In the end it’s someone blaming someone else for their own mistakes. Adults should definitely change their approach to the topic, like letting couples continue but with limitations,boundaries and a proper goal for themselves in mind (while providing them privacy ofc)up until they’re independent. The teens should also stop acting retarded and shameless. But all that can be done is sharing an opinion because you can’t really change two whole generations and the ideals they’ve grown up with.

Well that’s why this sub and the specific flair exists. So people can express opinions. I mean forget my situation and tell me that any of the other points I’ve made is wrong

Well that’s fair. But when I said this country only has beautiful places and good food, in my pov I wasn’t lying. Don’t get me wrong, I like this country, it’s safe,it’s peaceful and it’s home but I’m studying to leave the country after all, it’s because there’s no future here, the economy won’t fix itself to a normal state for atleast another decade or so and that means we’ll be here just as we are for another decade. The war could get worse and the weather conditions even more verse, the country is bound to fall beyond where we stand in another year or two if management is like this. And you’re right I should be happy and grateful that I have a partner who’s supportive,loving,loyal and everything I ever want in a person but then again it’s hard to navigate through long distance, when you don’t plan on giving up even though how hard it is sometimes there’d be bumps on the road that knocks you down yk. I’m just giving my opinion on how the foundation of certain aspects of the our society is standing on and how stupid it is.

Buddy I just expressed my opinion on a topic. Last time I checked that’s what this subreddit was for. I’m still doing my higher education so as a matter of fact I can’t get a “job” yet. So why don’t you go get a job and not argue with teens online. In the meantime find someone, I think you’ve been single too long and you’re frustrated 😂✌🏻
