A loving mother took to her TikTok account and shared a moment asking her 16-year-old daughter if she is dating.
In the clip, @refilwe_chirwa is seen sitting on a sofa relaxing. She called her daughter, who was seemingly busy doing the house chores. The mom, without stuttering, asked her daughter if she was dating.
This is a question that most teenagers find difficult to answer, especially to their parents. However, the youngster confidently said yes, she was dating. The mom asked her again to confirm, but the teenager didn't fold.
Curious, the TikTok user asked her child about her boyfriend, age, ethnicity, and name. However, the young one was unwilling to let her mom know that much. She just confirmed the boy's race, saying he was white.

Mom speaks to Briefly News more about the conversation
Speaking to Briefly News, the mother shared a bit about what led her to ask her daughter about her love life.
Refilwe said she was not surprised by her daughter response because they are open with each other. Conversing about such topics and other teenage controversial topics is a norm in their household.
The mom advised other parents who may be navigating similar conversations with their teenage children to foster an open and honest relationship with their kids.
"As parents, especially parenting teenagers I believe it is extremely important that we build open & honest relationships with our teenagers. And not just to speak on dating but engage in other burning issues our teenagers are faced with.
"Like pressures of alcohol intake, social life, sexual conversations & the likes. The trick is to get your teenager to a point where they are completely comfortable with speaking to you without fear but also knowing their boundaries with you as a parent and maintaining respect."

Teachers encourage matriculants not to date
In another story, Briefly News reported about a teacher who asked Grade 12 learners to put dating on hold.
@teenlifecoach_lebodube uploaded a video on TikTok giving the pupils advice. Being a teacher herself, she sees a lot of kids who have started exploring. But what's sad about that exploration is that it affects schoolwork.
She specifically spoke about dating, saying matriculants do not have to add the stress of dating to their plate; they have enough pressure to work towards varsity and study for trials and finals.
