Getting into a relationship at 16 or lower, is never a wise thing to do. You're still young, and still developing, both physically, mentally, and emotionally, you'll be a different person by the time you reach 20. I'd say, that its best not to get involved in one at a young age. Early rejection or breakup can be a damaging thing for self-esteem. In my youth, I chilled with mates, smoked homegrown on the grass, got served underage at pubs, threw stones at old ladies, y'know, innocent pleasures, that never harmed nobody.
Urg, I blame the mejia and the TV for getting youngsters into thinking the pussy is the be all and end all of existance.
