What Do People Fear The Most?
As our students move forward in life, their desire to have meaningful relationships with the
opposite sex intensifies and dating becomes a real novelty. Discussions in high school, and even
middle schools, are continually taking place about who is seeing whom, and who likes whom.
Even people who are older and have been away from the dating seen for a while find this type of
situation awkward, and at times, uncomfortable. Just take a look at two people who are in the
initial stages of building a relationship. He/she seems to be the greatest. Get to know them, I
mean really know them, and what they are really about. Get on the inside track, and the
indecisiveness of whether or not to stay will cause such fear, that arguments will be more
common than holding hands. Young daters, and by young I mean high school age ,are more
prone to being harassed and intimidated in a relationship then ever before. They enter in and
really don't know how to get out. And, often when they try to get out, they are harassed with
rumors and gossip flooding the school building, destroying a person's reputation. What do
people fear the most? Sadly, people fear each other, and the closer they get to someone, the more
they fear them. At the high school level our students need to be taught the ins and outs of dating.
But, more emphasis needs to be placed on reading someone's motives and knowing how to make
a graceful exit when necessary. Teenagers stay in abusive relationships for many reasons; low
self-esteem is one of them. Teach your students that they have a choice and to stay firm when
they decide to either stay in or get out. The divorce rate is already too high.
