Why do Teens Move Out of Relationships?

Teens constantly grow and develop physically by discovering themselves more with each day. This discovery leads them to new wants and ideas that interest them more by each passing day. Hence they are observed to be constantly in search of their perfect romantic partner. Just when they get to know about the opposite sex and their tastes, ideas and fantasies, they just slowly try to figure out what it is like being in any relationship.

Teenagers go through a lot in this phase as they get emotionally attached to some people quickly, be it the opposite gender or the same, maybe younger, older or of the same age group. Sometimes, it is easier for them while sometimes it is a bit hard for them to get out of that relationship as they find themselves stuck in an unwanted or not-a-match relationship. This is why a teenager is often found to move from one relationship to another as they try to understand what they want.

Handling Rejections

These things often happen in teenage and that’s when they sometimes could not cope up.

When a teenager was brought up as a highly pampered child who had never been denied for any wish, there is a great chance that he/she could grow into a stubborn teenager who would not give up. When this stubborn nature is appended to having a relationship with the person they like, it could create a lot of trouble.
