(TCOs 7 and 9) Describe adolescent romantic relationships. By what age do teens have a sense of what it means to be in love? What are some gender differences in these perceptions? Different societies have different views on when adolescents begin romantic relationships. There was a study that looked at the difference between Chinese and Canadian teens. In this study, they concluded that Chinese teens felt more of an attachment to their parents, whereas Canadian teens felt a close relationship with friends (Boyd, 316). This shows that the romantic relationships tend to develop in later years of adolescence. For teenagers, homosexual and heterosexual teens tend to develop in different paths. For heterosexual teens, it is said that by the age of 12, or 13, most have a sense of what it means to be in love. They use this understanding as a base for their romantic relationships. If the love isn't there, they are seen to end the relationship and move on to find other love. This is the beginning foundation for what adults use. In homosexual teens, romantic relationships for at an earlier age, around 11 or 12. It is interesting because homosexual teens are quite opposite in how they express themselves. Where heterosexual girls act earlier, it is opposite that homosexual boys will act on their attraction at an earlier age, but not be as confident about their sexual identity. Whereas, homosexual girls, will be more open and commit to their orientation, but may not act on it as quickly as a homosexual boy (Boyd 316). Whether you agree with Freud who thought that adolescents go through a genital stage where sexual maturity is reached; or Erikson, who thought that adolescents was about role confusion and identity. We can all agree that adolescence is the most important time for a child. It is where teens not only learn about who they are, but experimentation can also occur not just with sexuality. Teens are learning so much in this time that can help them become the person they will be as an adult, whether that be personal relationships, or career paths.
