Argument: Dating Ages

Assertion Claim

• In relationships age should have little effect.

Reason 1.

• Maturity level is the most important when trying to date someone older or younger than you.
• Commentary 1: "An older partner could take advantage of you because they know you're naive, and you haven't been through as much as them, So they're gonna trick you, make you fall in love," which happens if you truly are naive.
• Commentary 2: People should be careful and not go for somebody just because they assume the person will be more mature.

Reason 2.

• Personality is another reason that age shouldn't matter. It all depends on if you like the person for who they truly are. 
• Commentary 1: Personality is more important than age. If your sure of yourself and your outgoing and funny your more likely to find someone with that same personality no matter the age.
• Commentary 2: It goes two ways also if there are things you cant stand about yourself, your more likely to look for someone that's the complete opposite from your personality dislikes.

Opposing Claims/They say

• Many believe that kids under 18 shouldn't be dating someone over 18 because their brains aren't fully developed yet and not as mature.

My Rebuttal/I say

• Nevertheless, I say that age has nothing to do with maturity. I believe it has to do with experience, what they have been through, how they act and what they like. Some grown adults act just like younger kids under 18.

My Paragraph
In relationships age should have little effect. There's two reasons why I think this way. Maturity and some one's personality is the number one key in a relationship not their age. For instance an "older partner could take an advantage of you because they know you're naive, and you have not been through as much as them, so they're going to trick you, make you fall in love then hurt you," that's only if your really naive. People should be careful and not go for someone that they seem is more mature so don't assume that if they are older they are more mature.Personality is another reason that age should not matter. It all depends on if you like the person for who they truly are. Personality wise if you're sure of yourself and your outgoing and funny your more likely to find someone with that same personality no matter the age. It goes two ways if there are things you cannot stand about yourself, your more than likely to look for someone that's the complete opposite from your own personality dislikes. However, like grown adults and parents do not like the idea of younger kids dating way older than them. They believe that kids younger than 18 their brains aren't fully developed yet and more immature. Nevertheless, I say that age has nothing to do with maturity, I believe it has to do with experience, what they have been through, how they act, and what they like. There's a few young adults out there that act just like us younger KIDS! So far always the positives out way the negative facts. I think people need to be more sagacious about things around them.
