I’m helping put up a play wherein two male actors have to be very physically and emotionally close with one another. There’s nothing sexual about the roles, but the characters’ relationship is intimate and hands-on. Being teenagers, they are a little wary of getting physical onstage with each other. I can’t think of any acting exercises I can try to get them comfortable touching in a loving, secure way. Any suggestions?

finally after dealing with this for over 18 yrs, but I don’t know if I should follow through on the bankruptcy because it was contingent on his k yearly sal which i just can’t match at all on a k salary and supporting 2 teenagers. How should I handle this?….by the way I don’t know where he is, and I really feel like just walking away from everything and starting fresh elsewhere.

Some Christian communities believe that dating is meant only for adults who have intentions of getting married. They believe that teenage dating is scandalous because teenagers are still in their early years of development and are not ready to get married, so there is no point in dating. Thus it would be scandalous for teenagers to be dating.

When it comes to dating for adults, some Christians are very strict about it, believing adult couples should be accompanied by chaperones and never left alone together.

What are your thoughts?

No matter how well we prepare our teenagers to use good judgment and decision-making skills, they still face overwhelming challenges when they start dating. What do parents of such teens fear most?

A) Odds are, unless I really, really try, I wouldn’t marry a virgin, so why should she get the so called "honor" that you say comes with being someones first time

B) Willpower is a commodity, and there are better uses for it.

C) It’s in our nature to have sex. I’m 19, peak age anyway.

D) Religion is slowly losing ground. Most teenagers I know are atheists.

E) This whole waiting-advice-thing fucked up my highschool years! Dammit, could have gotten laid that entire god damn time. But noooo, stupid advice anyway…
