i dont feel like i missed anything. maybe it was because most of my friends did the same, but i think i had a fine childhood. or teenhood, i guess. life didn’t turn out to be a 2000s high school movie and that was fine with me. i spent a lot less time worrying about pregnancy scares and throwing up bad alcohol and more getting a decent education and making great friends. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t believe that sex and romantic relationships are something that should always take place during teenage years, it’s just that if it happens it happens but for some reason the media has communicated this as the normal expectation that everyone should be fulfilling and that’s been engrained in our culture. My teen years absolutely none of my friends were dating or being intimate and I’ve never internalized expectations or messaging that it was something that should be happening at that time. What I missed out on as a teen was having parents take care of me and be there for me and that affects me way more than not having had intimate or romantic relationships with my peers.
i didnt miss out on anything, i watched all my friends have soulless connections, mindless sex which they paid for in one way or another, the pregnancy scares. i just kissed everyone and i was okay with that lol
Nothing. I simply wasn’t interested in dating when I was a teen.
