Polyamorous Relationships for those under 18?

Question

Hey! So if you remember me, I'm a regular, my names Kealey. I took a little break but plan to be back. If you're new and don't know me: HI.
Anyways, onto the topic 😂
What are your opinions on teenagers (under 18) having polyamorous relationships?
Polyamory (from Greek πολύ poly, "many, several", and Latin amor, "love") is the practice of or desire for intimate relationships with more than one partner, with the knowledge of all partners.[1][2] It has been described as "consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy".[3][4][5]
(From Wikipedia for those who don't know what polyamory is)
So, is there a certain age limit? Or do you think as long as everyone's consensually doing it it's okay ?

Answer

I don't think there should be any laws against it obviously but I do think a polyamorous relationship under the age of 18 would be a lot more complicated and drama filled than it needs to be. For example I think the people involved would be more likely to get jealous or feel left out etc, and some might not be mature enough. Although that could go for any kind of relationship under the age of 18. Obviously if all people involved are consenting and willing to fight through the obstacles that come with it it's absolutely fine.

Answer

I don’t think the number of participants is a problem, but the seriousness of the relationship(s). I think dating, especially in younger teen years, shouldn’t be as serious as I guess it ends up being for some.

Answer

I'm fine with it, because it's a relationship just like any other. As long as all parties are all in, why not? What's the difference between a teenagers being able to know they like dating the opposite sex as compared to multiple people? I think at a certain age you like what you like and you know what you like.

Answer

Awww I'm happy to see you!!!!! Ok, now I'll go read the whole post. 😀

Answer

Welcome back! I wouldn't have a problem with it, but it would have a lot more drama and stuff surrounding it than if they would wait

Answer

I think most people know I’m a big believer in monogamy, and I think it’s even more important under 18, since some teenagers are still learning about safe sex.

Answer

Well you said polyAmorous, so it would be like a platonic kind of love and rarely sexual, they focus more on the love part than sexual part. 
If it's strictly platonic, sure. But since it's children we are talking about I doubt they'd be mature enough to keep up with it. 
I don't agree with it because it *could* be a huge mess. I'd wait until I'm older and have gone through my share of boys and girls so I can know what's up before I commit to more than one person lol. 
As long as you're mature and very open minded, all parties are the same age or adults, it's consensual, sure why not..it don't affect me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Honestly a lot of teenagers are pretty shit at safe sex, but I disapprove of all relationships that aren’t safe. I don’t care who they sleep with as long as they’re safe and healthy.

Answer

I think it can work just as well as a polyamorous relationship with adults. 
My SO's first relationship was when he was 15, and it was a polyamorous one with three other people - all 15 and 16. He's told me it was one of the best relationships of his life (he's 35 now) and the only reason it ended was because his mom got a better job and they had to move to another state. 
So I think young poly relationships are fine 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I think if everybody in it is consenting then it’s fine...but I also think that teens and young adults who are learning about safe sex and relationships should tread carefully.
It isn’t my business to tell others who they can and cant love, but love and relationships tend to be hard on younger people. I don’t think everybody at that age would be emotionally mature enough to handle something as complex as a polygamous relationship.
