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.

“We’re all young, dumb high schoolers. So why would I put myself in a situation to give into temptation?” – AJ
