G'day my friends ,
At my youth group , we have an age group of individuals between 14 - 22 , a few of the 18+ people are youth leaders , i am one of them (19). Well we might address the issue of courting/dating at our youth group because it is inevitable that these questions will be popped up by the youth at my group. In my point of view dating/courting can only happen if the couple are mature enough to handle it. A specific age does not define maturity but sometimes it does. I see 16 as a very common age for the issue to pop up. I know a few 18 year old guys who would want to go out with one of the 16 year old girls at my group. Sometimes i find it strange as they have different rights in a society compared to a 16 year old as in voting /drinking. Society defines 16 as the age of consent in Australia. Well I am not sure what i am asking here but i just would like know your views on age gaps , maturity levels or pursuing a healthy christian partner etc etc.. I need to prepare my youth , i am one(youth) too and it is my responsibility as a youth leader to give them healthy advice.I think you get the jist.
