How do you deal with the "peer/social pressure" of NOT having a BF/GF, especially during teens? 😇 💕?

Your a very pretty girl. The only time you should be worried about having a boyfriend is when you decide to get serious with someone but after you have achieved an education and a career. Girl don't waste your time on these assholes. You can fuck and play all you want but don't fall in love until you finish school. The last thing you want is to focus on getting a boyfriend to find out that your life has passed you by and now you are old, have no money, a horrible job, kids take all your time and money and your "boyfriend" is cheating on you or left you all alone with all the baggage.

Point blank. Take care of yourself first before you focus on boyfriend's or you will regret it like the rest of us.

I'm 31 and still in school. I have no kids but I wish I didn't spend most of my time chasing guys and wanting a "boyfriend" like you. It's not worth it. I'm just glad I woke up before it was too late.

I dated a few guys but did not have a serious boyfriend or even sex until my 20s. I also was the first of my close friends who got married and i find now I'm single again no shortage of attention from men. Teen years are awkward and isolating for 90% of teens. And then the other 10% who loved high school find the rest of their life, the important part post high school, is pathetic and a failure. So don't pay mind to others. One day you'll meet a great fit for you. And remember you have a LiFETIME to do this. There is no rush. Who wants to kiss frogs anyway if you know a prince is out there?

[BaileyisDarcy]

The point of the selfies is?

And you deal with it by literally doing nothing.

Who cares what they think? They can go through their meaningless relationships made only to say theyre in one. Then their meaningless breakups that hurt. What do you need that for? To impress people? You can't impress everyone, by making one happy, youve made 20 upset, by making 20 happy youve made the one important person upset.

So just do what YOU want to do, because either way all the wrong people are going to be upset. No way around it.

It's can be tough to be honest especially if your a virgin as well people made fun of me for it and it really killed my confidence and made me feel like females didint want me but since then I've made incredible frienda that have helped me realize that you don't need to rush things and just go at your own pace. Always remember that its your decision to do something you want or not. It's not your friedns decision or anyone's choice to make for you and stay strong. And also if you find yourself being peer pressured into anything AT ALL then maybe you should revauleat the people your hanging out with ya know look for people that want push you into doing something you truly don't want to

[MLGbreezy]

Thanks for the MHO

I only have one thing to say about society as a whole.

Society does not matter, their opinions, their choices, their lifestyle.. It all doesn't matter, because when the day comes that you die, you won't be thinking of them but you'll be thinking of all the things you wish you had done, or wish you hadn't done.

So always make your own choices, and don't live a life of regrets

[Some_Goof]

You don't have to "deal" with it when you know you're smart enough to stay single than to come into a meaningless relationship just because its trendy.

[Sawyerblu]

If I understood the question correctly lmao I kinda just learned how to be alone I guess. You gotta be able to love yourself fully before you can love someone else. Besides, most relationships that you have in your teens just end in heartbreak, it’s super rare that you end up with someone that you dated as a teen

[Freya_Martin]

Awesome. Good advise 👍💕

[NatalieLove777]

Girlfriend! You might think that a man will satisfy or make you cool, but let me tell you, he will not make your life any better. Until you learn to love yourself, a relationship won’t make you feel better. And fuck the peer pressure. Do what got got to do to survive. Lean on your gals, make guy friends. Don’t make tomorrow problems, today problems. Enjoy being young and single while you can. You’ll look back and miss this freedom.

[Just_a_human]

i never experienced peer pressure, but for those that do, if you don't want to do something don't do it, everyone is into different things, but if you decide to try something, do it because YOU want to, not because you're trying to impress someone or "fit in" that's stupid.

[maddog998]

Have fun, enjoy your teens years :) my friend been with someone since she 13 and growing up they were always on and off. While I was free, wild and young always drinking and having fun. Once I got older I settle down with the wrong guy and got pregnant. Now I'm at stay at home mom to a 9 month old baby

[lomimore]

My friends and other people knew that i didn't care much about relationship i was not the type to have a relationship and it could be seen just by looking at me so they never bothered even teasing me so no pressure. I was just the crazy one they couldn't see in a relationship and pwrsonally i found being single could be entertaining
And i was single by choice so i was really happy about it

[MissCappuccino]

Make it clear that you are single because you want to be. Focus on yourself and be the best version of you you can be. At the end of the day, people are going to judge anyway. The people who think relationships and stuff are everything are also the people who can’t function on their own.

[alinakhanx0x]

Don't really care about what others think about it. And stay true to yourself. And most importantly love yourself.

[Freya_Martin]

Awesome. Thanks. 👍💕

[Puppylover_129]

... easy... Don't do it. Nobody can feel you to date besides you. You legit have a life time to find someone, and there's plenty of people willing to date others. You're young, enjoy your own life before you let someone else come in to it.

[Puppylover_129]

Make* not feel

[Freya_Martin]

Kool. Nice advise 👍💕

[cth96190]

When I was a teenager and then a 20-something I was a TFL.
When I was compelled to attend various events I always had to go alone.
People were surprised that I did not have a girlfriend, but that was the way that it was.
My mother began to think that I might have been queer, until the night that she heard me sobbing and begging God to kill me.

[InstrumentalMayo]

You don't have to be in a relationship if you don't want to. Your friends should totally support you if that's the case. If you do want to be in a relationship and you need to deal with the social pressure, just have fun talking to other people and not being worried about what your partner would say.
(tbh im crap at this kinda advice so take this with a grain of salt XD)

[chriscdi]

Look señorita that if you are single you should be single and proud😎, not only do you avoid heart breaks and drama but you are much more free and not to mention available😏😎, its a good thing in my eyes, you might just be being careful who you fall for 😊

[Dzokson00]

I worry about it because of my low self esteem and the fact I've never had a girlfriend
it makes me think im not a boyfriend material, that im unwanted, undesireable and i sometimes try to get a relationship going but it either gets to a rejection or she juwt ignores my messages

i dont know if im ugly, or doing something wrong

[InsertCoolName]

I know how you feel

[Dzokson00]

im sad to hear about it, noone deserves to feel this way

[Fred0]

You got more bigger problems than not having a boyfriend girlfriend in your teen years. You will know as you get older that it dosent mean anything. Its just a "social status" that no one really cares about when your in your twenties. The only opinion that you should focus on yours.

[fallen_wings]

I don't really care tbh. Yeah it feels sad when it's the age where you have to have a boyfriend and see everyone else´s relationships in school, but i'll take one pace at a time and concentrate on school (to pass lol)

[Dchrls78104]

I'm not a teen, but I still deal with it. Knowing first yourself and then the qualities you look for in a prospective partner helps you to ignore the pressure to couple up just for the sake of coupling. Remember, just throwing bricks and mortar together on the ground doesn't build a house. Every house is an investment of time and skill and is built according to predetermined specifications.

[pumacheetah]

use that to build you up, that can make youa girl with standards and thats good

[Freya_Martin]

Nice 👍💕

[FinalVow]

ignore them. Most of the people trying to pressure you who are in relationships will fail miserably in those relationships anyways. the majority of teens wouldn't know what love is if it came up to them naked and introduced itself.

[Wu-TangJedi]

As a guy, people thought I was gay for a very long time for not having a girlfriend, or dating anyone. It hurt, and wrecked my confidence, but I'd rather live by my principle of not getting involved with someone unless they are special to me than partake in the dating culture of dating someone just to date them. Do you.

[mmmmmmmkk]

The key is to not give a fuck.. There is always going to be some peer/social pressure in life in general.. But whats important is that you react to it properly.. In this case.. I have found that its best to just not give a fuck.. Trust me and wait till you find the perfect gf/bf and dont go into a relationship just because of social pressure.. Its bad for the both of you..
