Obinoscopy: Oh apologies. It was actually a question (not a rebuttal) addressed to Efe. I had thought the coodinator allowed the debaters to ask questions. I acted based on this post by the coodinator:

ileobatojo:

Lol.

Okay.

But why is this fizzling of the bond only limited to teenage relationships? Why doesn't the bond between an adult and their parent ultimately fizzle out to zero after they get married for instance?

Who says theirs doesn't fizzle out with time as well?

Just joking.

The teenagers are different from matured adults. Teenagers tend to look for a reason to disentangle from their parents. Sometimes they even get hostile. Thus when that avenue comes via the establishment of a relationship with an opposite sex, the bonding will dwindle and will approach the zero mark. However when such teenager becomes an adult and eventually, a parent, he/she will understand the reasons behind those actions taken by their parents in the past and ultimately the bond will increase, I don't think the bond will fizzle out in this case

First of all, I believe the scenario you painted can apply to both hetro and homo sexual relationships. Secondly is it your contention that stopping the child from dating will automatically erase those feelings? If yes....how? If no....what has the parents' actions achieved? The latter part of my question can be expanded to this - How does your NO TO DATING stance deal with that feeling of attraction.

ileobatojo:


Thank you for your time and your answers. I have no further questions. Good luck!

Obinoscopy: [color=blue]Once again, I am most honored to be given the opportunity to speak on a topic I so cherish: Teenage relationship. My esteemed Judges, illustrious coordinators, fellow contestants, informed audience, all other protocols duly observed, I remain my humble self, Obinoscopy (Contestant 2), and I am indeed honored and privileged to, yet again, make this epic presentation/debate. Teenage relationship, in the context of this debate, is a loving, romantic and/or sexual friendship between two people of opposite sex who are within the age range of 13 to 19 years. I had purposely included the term ‘opposite sex’ in my definition so as to limit my presentation to heterosexual relationship thereby precluding homosexual relationship. Homosexual relationship among teenagers is a very vast, sensitive and controversial topic that should be beyond the scope of this presentation. I would suggest that such topic needs to be presented separately and not merged with today’s topic of discuss.
