Are These Teenage Extramarital Affairs Happening in 2018?

[crediblereading2]

Honestly, what I believe is that these kinds of relationships have been just as prevalent in the past as in current times. It is with the rise in technology that has caused them to be more highlighted than before. Example, social media, television, etc. are some of the platforms used.

Do you truly believe it's financially fevered? Let's be honest, school teachers aren't exactly at the top of the earnings chain.

with the emergence of sponsors in this 21st century, am conviced that most ladies dont fall in love but instead are materialistic and money-motivated thus prompting most teenagers to get themselves in these extramarital affairs.

There is nothing new about it, people have been abusing positions of power to lure in the vulnerable for as long as society has existed. As others have mentioned, it's probably just a lot more documented now with the scandels hitting social media and the internet, whereas back in the 1950's if it wasn't in your local paper you probably didn't ever hear about it.

It seems that right now it is happening more that young people have affairs with teachers or old rich people. I don't know if it is some love in it. Maybe it is because of the freedom in these days. In 1950, as a boy or girl you would have to make your family proud. Nowadays it doesn't matter so much what the parents wish for their children.

Not sure if it was happening more back in the 50s, or the same as 2018. I think back in the 50s more extramarital affairs were with adults than teens. Regardless, even that situation was not talked about openly in society. Time has changed society's perception of what is considered appropriate/inappropriate behavior by our youths today. Today, there is nothing left to the imagination. For instance, songs being played on the radio are no longer implying about sex but are fully describing sexual encounters in explicit language. Values and morals are no longer being taught in homes and with the enticement of outside elements, it's no wonder the increase in teen extramarital relationship is occurring.

Ehhh, you might want to steer away from these sweeping generalizations in a forum full of women

1) I think you're the first person to bring up music as a sexual and moral influencer and you're so right! There is nothing left to the imagination in popular music.

2) I have to disagree that "values and morals are no longer being taught in homes." My husband and I are still young and are taking great care to teach morals to our children, specifically our nine-year-old son who is already surrounded by the perverse language of the boys with older brothers

Teenage extramarital affairs have been happening for years the only difference between then and now is technology. These days, we're presented with lots of stories about this by the media. In the past, it was a well kept secret.

[KatePanlilio]

I think it was happening in the 1950's but not that prominent. Interestingly though, I believe extramarital affairs are most prominent in this period. I think this is because teenagers have far more choices than before and they have many ways to do it. For example, the discovery of the social media we have today plays a big role in this matter.

I guess, teenagers are more prone to be exploited and abused due to their age and vulnerability. Without any doubt such affairs are becoming more common in 2018.

Remember when the saying "it takes a village to raise a child," was true. With the increase of children having children, the guidance and wisdom that used to come from the older generation does not exist anymore. Years gone by, when you could rely on neighbors to help steer your children in the right direction, has now come to parents with the mentality of kids who want to attack you for trying to help. It is hard to teach something when you don't know yourself.

Yes, teenage extramarital affairs are happening today. These affairs make not only our local but national news. They have become a product that is waiting on a shelf until someone happens to remember that this person, as a celebrity, does not need the attention they are receiving.

[CheyenneR]

I think that it is just as prominent today as in the 50's but I think that it is much less accepted today than in the past.
