Youth Group Dating Rules

For most teens, dating rules and expectations are an important part of social interactions and development. Any faith-based or community group that seeks to support teens needs to address this issue so central to teenagers' lives. Most religious youth groups have rules that come from their faith traditions and give their members guidelines on how to date and interact with the opposite gender.

Christian Youth Groups

Different Christian denominations offer different guidelines for youth dating. The most common rule is youth should not have sex outside of marriage, which is based on Biblical passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:33, which says Christians should "flee from sexual immorality." Another common guideline in Christian youth groups is Christians should only date other Christians, based on 2 Corinthians 6:14, which says believers should not be "yoked together with unbelievers." Other Biblical advice that youth groups may apply to dating include Proverbs 4:23, which says to "guard your heart," meaning Christian youth should not get too emotionally involved in relationships too quickly, and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which outlines a description of what true love is like. Christian youth groups often encourage teens to create their own personal rules and standards for dating, such as staying in public areas and limiting physical contact.

Dangers of Drug Abuse Among Youth

It also defines a state, emotional and sometimes physical, characterized by a compulsion to take drugs on a constant basis in order to experience its mental effects. Drug abuse gives rise to dependence both physical and psychological. Dependence gives rise to mental, emotional, biological or physical, social and economic instability.
