The reason why I ask is because am starting to think it not worth anything and it just a simple romance that will die out sooner or later in high school, I mean I see no point in it at all and just seems like a waste of effort and my time in high school when I could be focusing more on my grades and have the pressure of getting or having girlfriend off my back.

It brings the experience of becoming a teenage parent that makes your parents raise your children.

I have no interest in those matters, I focus on my schoolwork and studying.

High School romances are totally worth it. It's the only time in life you get to make all the major relationship mistakes and not have to pay a lawyer for it.

High school "romance" is just a thing, i thought i had met the love of my life in high school until i met the REAL love of my life (Good looking and her random personality matches mine) on holiday, 2 years after i had finished school, we have been together ever since, i actually deleted this High school girl from facebook because i knew that even though she looks pretty, deep down there was never going to be anything.


Also: Trufact, Love can actually be explained by a chemichal reaction between a man and a woman where they both emit hormones and "Love" is when these hormones match, that is why You feel like you HAVE to be with them

I was too strange (yes we'll just use that word ) for a highschool romance, but I would say it's beyond worth it. You can still get good grades at the same time

But to each their own...

I gather they are no different from out of school relationships. Still subject to the same old [censored] should those come about, but the probability of cheating is a lot higher me thinks.

Wow.... no man just...No.

Having a relationship and having good grades are not mutually exclusive. As CCNA said, it's one of the more complication-free times in your life, best take advantage of your youth while you still have it.

Just don't get carried away, or assume it will last forever, or expect that everything will work out perfect the first time you try.

Yes, because then you get experience of actually being in a relationship rather than just guessing/asking for advice on a gaming forum.

This. School is about more than just intellectual education. It is also about social education, and it is better to acquire these skills in the relative safety of high school, where the stakes are low (even if it may not seem that way at the time). After you are out of school, things get a lot more complicated. You will never get a better opportunity to get relationship practice as you will in High School.

^THIS op. Very good advice. Grand assumptions are your worst enemy with relationships.

Nonetheless, hell yeah they're worth it. Gives you life experience, which is something that should be cherished. Even if it doesn't go the way you'd planned, you'll take something from it no matter what. Take advantage of being alive.

School is just as much about what you learn in class as it is about what you learn outside of it.

This, there's nothing wrong with it but high school romances usually seem to be filled with a lot more drama then after high school as well as most high school relationships don't last much longer then high school.

Some people meet their husbands/wives in high school. You never know. I still hold that there's no point in being in a relationship if you don't think you'll spend the rest of your life with the person, though. If you know with 100% certainty you'll break up with someone, be it in a week, a month, or a year, better now than later.

If you actually "focus on your studies" you'll probably find you have a lot of free time leftover to do things outside of "school."

I spent that time writing software, playing video games, and spending time with my siblings. If you want to spend it with a girlfriend, that's up to you.

I was with my girlfriend throughout high school and I'm still with her to this day, its going quite well. You never know, you might find the right person.

The thing is I have terrible luck with woman in the past due to the shy nature I once had, but now that am not shy anymore it becoming more difficult to see the point of romance in high school since it all seems so pointless to me. But maybe am wrong due to all the heart breaks I had.

Very well said

Even if you don't meet "the one" it still doesn't mean that it's pointless. Hell, only going into a relationship with someone because you think they're "the one" is an incredibly unhealthy thing to do, because yeah - chances are they aren't the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, which means you're going to feel worse if/when you break up with them. Just take things ones step at a time an never 'plan ahead', because by doing that you'll just set yourself up for a fall. However, if you take things a step at a time, you're only going to go as far as you want/need to.


Yeah but, how can you do that unless you have the power of clairvoyance? Someone can seem perfect in their personality/looks but that still doesn't necessarily mean you'll be perfectly matched.

I don't know. I met several girls, and they were... unique, to say the least. I suppose it depends.

I'm still in a relationship with my girlfriend from high school (and I'll be marrying her sometime next year hopefully). Sometimes you just get lucky with who you find, most of the time it's just a learning experience.

I bet most of those meet their first divorce lawyers by the time they are 30. I only say that because people change more (what they want, who they are, not physcial changes) during their 20's than any other decade in their lives.

My wife and I went to highschool, middleschool together. Hell, I've known her since I was 2. We grew up together. We don't have an easy life, nor a lot of money and I'm not exactly the easiest person to deal with. But I couldn't imagine being without her.

Haha, I bet that is true to a certain extent. If they get married right out of high school I bet the probability is higher. From my personal situation, I've been dating my girlfriend for 7 years and we'll be married when I'm 25-26 years old (if everything goes according to plan). So failing by 30 in our situation seems unlikely because we've both figured most things out by this point.
