@Saarah

No dating whatsoever.

That is un-Islamic… you cannot be a (good) Muslim if you go on unchaperoned romantic dates. Kissing, hand-holding, sex?!? You have got to be kidding me. What’s the point of identifying as a “muslim” if we’re just going to disregard the Qu’ran anyway?

And for those saying it can’t be helped, well, to put it bluntly, you’re totally wrong.

It depends on your parenting skills. I am seventeen years old, and have never – for once in my life – thought of sneaking behind my parents backs to get a boyfriend. Neither have any of my sisters. If you teach your kids correctly, it should never happen.

Saying “they’ll do it anyway” is just utterly moronic. Will your children become christian anyway just because they’re surrounded by christian people? Will they drink? Will they decide to indulge in mindless violence because that’s what is on television?

Honestly, people. Think.

I completely agree with you, I’m 18 and I have never been on a date or had a boyfriend. So it is possible!
