In high school it's very common to hear people constantly talking about so-and-so "going out with" so-and-so. You ask yourself, what does this mean? You have your mothers send you to the movie theater where you can "score" with a girl? What happens when your mom can't send you? "Umm, sorry honey, I can't make it." You mean your MOM can't.
And touching on that subject. "Honey?" Honestly, I hate when people call each other those names, acting as if they really care about their "girlfriend" or "boyfriend." It's people like this you just want to grab and shake, yelling, "You're a high schooler, this relationship will probably turn into nothing!" I mean, honestly, I hate when people are like, "Oh yes, we're so in love, we're gonna marry." Then, before you know it, the guy "cheats" (In other words, says he likes another girl), there's a rush of the oh-so-welcome high school drama, and the two "lovers" are separated just like that.
Also, in high school, when are you going to find time for them? In the 21st century, students engage in a multitude of extracurricular academics and sports. Pile some homework on top of that, and there's your week. I find that in relationships, you end up wasting more time talking on the phone with his/her friends about your "loved one," or talking to your "precious" yourself. This leads to lower performance in many areas, and ends up ultimately hurting you.
I think you should get a boyfriend or girlfriend as a stress-reliever. They're supposed to be someone you can find comfort in. However, high school relationships end up becoming a way to increase stress and tire you out. You sometimes constantly wonder whether or not they "like you that way," or if "you two are going too fast." You investigate, waste more time, and ultimately wither find nothing out or ruin your relationship. So in the end, you accomplish nothing except for a "broken heart" and getting behind on school work.
Speaking of the break up, what is with some people? "She broke my heart..." "I'll never be the same again..." "How could he do this?" PAHLEEZ, you probably don't even care that much. In the end, you see these people end up with someone else in a few days, and the drama starts all over.
Buy, there are always the high-school sweethearts who end up getting married. I congratulate them for beating the system, and hope the best for them.

ReplyDeleteuhm, aren't you a slight hypocrite writing this? but loi...
he obviously recognizes it now...but I disagree. I think people can be mature about high school relationships. They may increase stress and take a lot of time, but they also prepare you for real dating. Also, it makes more sense once you can drive.
ReplyDeleteSo when runiteking1 called growingpain13 both "sweetie" and "honey..."
ReplyDeleteThats true logan. I actually in general mean freshies and sophmores, but idk, none of them seem to be working for me
ReplyDeletevery opinionated.
ReplyDeleteand i hate to break it to you but the questions "does he/she like me in that way?", "are we going to fast?" continue to haunt you in your relationships. it's not just a high-school thing.
i do agree with you about people who think that their gf/bf that they've been dating for a month is going to become their spouse is ridiculous. but such is life and learning about love.
and the work thing: if you find someone that likes you enough and you like them enough, they're going to respect that you have hw and other stuff to do and can't spend every moment with them. and you will respect them as well. your hw shouldn't slip as long as you have self-control and trust b/w you and your gf/bf.
