Whats the point of going bowling on a first date? First get to know the person and see if he stands a chance, then go and have fun.
Sickening attitude.
Sparkly: Such a pity. There is so much one can learn from others. Isnt there Someone you admire in this world?
Chassidish men who have long peyos can grow them and donate too.
I know for a fact that i am a role modal in the sense of fashion to a friend`s mom. So sad, because i think my insides are nicer…
As a teenager myself, here is my advice. Just be nice. Give her the feeling that you are always there for her. Even to get her out of a mess she has put herself into.
When she decides to change and come back, shell know there is SOMEONE there to help her.
NOBODY can change her. Only she herself has to want to change in order for it to happen. So if she doesn’t want it, don`t bother pushing too hard.
You sometimes find these couples where the husband is a Cohen and has been married before and the wife has had an illness when she was younger and so she agreed to marry him.
As I said before, a 17 year old doesn’t have that many experiences in life.
What do you mean when you say that they get prepared earlier? You can try tell a teen stuff, you can preach to them how much you want, but if they are not ready to hear it they wont internalize it.
That means they are not mature enough but we find plenty of such teens getting married.
Which is a pity.
Sparkly: So what if their opinion changes? They’ll marry someone according to what they want THEN, not what they wanted at a young age.
Shopping613: Whats the difference between litvish and chassidish? Your telling me that chassidish people mature faster? So only they are mature enough to get married young?
” Make sure they have friends to hang out with after school.”
How on earth do you expect them to make friends if they don`t go to school?!
A social life means EVERYTHING to a teenager nowadays. Home-schooled children are unlikely to have it. Also, one can learn a lot of social skills from peers and a lot is picked up from friends in school.
Even if someone does feel they are ready to get married at the age of 16/17 (I personally know girls who did) fact is, they are still children.
They haven’t lived that long yet, so whats the rush? One can always do more maturing.
People who speak for too long at simchas are just being selfish.
