I believe this problem is a consequence of technology. With our nation's children turning to their cell phones and social media for conversations, they are loosing the ability too talk to other kids face to face. When teenagers start to consider dating, they don't have the skills necessary for social interaction, such as asking a friend out on a date. So instead of mustering their courage, they hide behind a screen and plug into Tinder and Spotafriend so they can stalk their so called "crushes". These apps can lead to bad habits and can often times get kids into trouble at an early age. Children need to learn how to put the phone away and start developing the social skills necessary for healthy, long lasting relationships.
