The Negative Impacts of Courtship


The Negative Impacts of Dating

            Adolescence is a wonderful time. Many things happened during the transition period of adolescents from childhood to adulthood. One of the interesting and happening things in the world of adolescence is the dating trend that is favored by some teenagers. Courtship is a relationship between two people of the opposite sex and they have an emotional attachment, where the relationship is based on the feelings in each other's hearts(Kyns, 1989). However, there are negative impacts of courtship.

            The first impact is physical abuse. The Anti-Violence Coalition in Alabama said that one in three children experienced physical violence during early dating. The forms are like pushing, hitting, strangling, and killing. The crime was very closed because the victim or perpetrator did not acknowledge the problem during the relationship dating. The causes of physical violence in adolescents include jealousy, possessiveness, and temperament of teenage partners.

            The second impact is sexual violence. Rape in courtship is a form of sexual violence. The National Commission on Violence Against Indonesian Women categorizes this type of violence as courtship violence. it happens sexually when someone is sexually assaulted by someone who is known and trusted. Sexual violence can also occur when the victim is drunk at a party. the party becomes the easiest place for the perpetrators to target teenagers by first giving drugs, then making them as the victims of sexual violence

            The third impact is become fragile. Teenagers who start dating from an early age experience more headaches, stomach and waist. They are also more depressed than their peers who have never dated. Someone who knows love earlier tends to be fragile, sick, feels insecure and easily depressed.

            In conclusion, courtship have a lot of negative impacts, such as experiencing physical abuse, sexual violence, and makes you become fragile person. Basically, dating in adolescence is not good because the age and psychology of a teenager is not ready and the role of parents and teachers is very important so that they would not fall into bad behavior.

My Favorite Songs From Musicals

Lately, I like watch musical dramas or animated videos from musical dramas. There are my favorite songs from the musicals: 1.        Candy Store (Heathers) In this song, Heather Chandler lays down the law and offers her protegée Veronica a choice: be cruel and powerful like the Heathers or go back to your loser friends and be nobody. The song starts when Veronica realizes Chandler has tricked her into forging a cruel love letter to Martha , posing as Martha’s lifelong crush, Ram . I like how this song tells the mean girls point of view. My favorite part is when Heather Duke sing and try to catch the highnotes then being yelled by Heather Chandler, “Shut up, Heather!”, that’s really funny.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jviZGERpqg&index=2&list=RDYuCux-Dtk-0   1.        Meant To Be Yours (Heathers) JD breaks into Veronica’s room, wielding a gun, as she bar...
