How Highschool Relationships work

 

Why even get into a high school relationship?  What is so amazing about being with another person that people are just dying to get into a relationship?  Not everyone are but about 99% of teens these days are looking for a relationship.  When you are 14 or 15 what is the most you can do in a relationship anyways? Talk at lunch, sit next to each other in class.

“They’re stupid and pointless” said freshman Riley Haswell.  Short term high school relationships are almost as dumb as middle school relationships.  Although if you do have a long term relationship that has been going on for a long time it is not a waste of time, its actually a good time to get to know the person better.

Whats the point of having a relationship in high school if its only temporary? Relationships always start out really great, but end in fighting and bickering. “The middle is the best part of a relationship, its the end that sucks” Says Katelyn Fahey.

“Having a long time relationship is what makes dating fun, you get to grow up together.” According to Senior Abbie Bryant.  So much drama and fighting happens in most relationships why put yourself through that if you could live a life of no worries?

To keep a relationship is really very difficult, “you have to be able to get along, thats a big part of it.” Said 12th grader Fahey.

“Communicating and working together.  You have to get on each others level and understand one another” said Bryant.

 Only 2-3% of highschool relationships last all the way through highschool because most end by the couple going to different colleges and about 19% of couples last into college.  Some people are fortunate enough to be able have to have a cute relationship with each other, its better to have loved than to never love at all.

Having a long distance relationship is a lot of work as well and not always worth it. “If you are together for a long time then you should try to make it work, if not then you need to experience new things outside of high school” Fahey shared.

“I like them, I have had a few and it works better if you can drive because its really awkward when your mom or your dad has to drop you off at your boyfriends house”  Meaghan Kelly said.

Granted that some high schoolers do have good relationships that don’t end in total heartbreak, but instead the couple just go back to be friends.  Being in a relationship with another person is probably easier when you are able to drive your own car from place to place and have more responsibility and not have to rely on your parents to take you where you want to go.

Even though I know that any high school relationship won’t last forever, I believe that being in one does help mature teens and open their eyes to a different perspective.
