Romance Jr. is designed specifically for those between the ages of 10 and 20 (give or take a few years). The Romance Junior
mission is to provide informative information to teens and tweens regarding their
romantic life, and all that implies for teenagers. RC believes in romance in
its purest form, which is to say that romance is much more than sex and
hormones, but an all encompassing experience between two people that involves
both your heart (feelings) and your head( thoughts), wherein the body may be only
one of many tools to express those feelings and thoughts. Sexuality is not the
focus of these pages, but as with our pages for adults, only one of several
components that comprise ‘romance’ in true form.
The romance
you experience in your teenage years are memories that you will hold your
entire life (just ask any adult when their first kiss was or who their first
relationship was with-trust us). As you read through these pages,
define romance for yourself; read our definitions of romance,
exploring through your own thought processes and feelings what romance truly
means to you. Try to live by what you’ve decided. You have an
opportunity because of your youth to shape and mold your experiences to be
exactly as you wish them to be. Our goal is to provide you with informative
resources and information so that you can do just that-make your loving
relationships truly loving. There are links that are aimed at
providing you with the information you need to make informed decisions. What
you don’t know or understand, ask your
parents or an adult with whom you are close. There are facts about growth and development, puberty and sexuality, as well as topics geared for younger romances (e.g. in
the classroom, effects of substances on relationships, etc.).
We hope that you will consider all
the possibilities romance can bring to a loving relationship, and all that is
involved in doing so. All relationships, regardless of their context, require
time, effort and dedication. We, at Romance Channel, encourage you to read
through these pages, maximize their use for your own benefit, and provide us
with feedback so that as we strive to meet your needs, we do so with you. Tell us
what you want to hear about, and ask us questions, we're here for you and we're listening.
