Teen dating around the world
Teens around the world don't have the same dating customs. The popular couples of the high school and the queen and king of the graduation ball are American stereotypes for teen dating. But asking for a boy to go out with you can be against the law in some counties. In Europe, teen dating is also a group event. In Finland, up to 30 teens may attend a movie together, while in Italy and Switzerland, teens gather for parties in a home and sleep there after the party is over. Spanish teens join a pandilla, a club or a group of friends, but teen dating is one-to-one; girls and boys split the cost of the evening's entertainment. Teen dating in Russia takes place at dances or clubs where teens can chat with friends and eat. In Australia, teens go out in large groups and start dating at 18 or 19 years old and it’s a common thing for girls to ask out boys and pay for the date. Teen dating in Afghanistan is rare because marriages are usually arranged by parents and schools are separate for boys and girls. Girls have a 7:00 p.m. curfew, while boys an 11:00 p.m. one. In Iran teen dating is against the law, and teenagers are separated until the age of marriage when their families introduce them to each other. In the South and Central America, dating is allowed after the age of 15 and even then most boys and girls date in large groups. In Korea and Japan, dating begins in collage; most of the times teens don't date or go to parties and spend their time studying.
