Why not date and have fun like everyone else in high school? Should Christians look at this differently than other students at school?

Talking Points:

  • The Bible doesn’t specifically say that you can’t date in high school, but romantic relationships can cross a line that is intended for marriage. Hebrews 13:4
  • Dating “for fun” can set you up for trouble, pushing the line back further and further until you cross it into sin. Song of Songs 8:4
  • What really makes a guy manly is to respect women and take the responsibility not to take something that isn’t yours.
