Is Having A Girlfriend/Boyfriend Overrated?

[Silme]

A question like this really doesn't have a fair answer.

A relationship in highschool is really a learning experience. Whether you want to marry the person or not, it is important to understand how to treat another correctly. If you have the patience, tolerance, and selflessness to grow close to someone and allow them to understand you like no one else, it can be the most amazing experience. It also depends on your maturity. Liking someone and daydreaming about them is different from loving them, that's one reason why I get annoyed when people meaninglessly write "I love you!" everywhere they can. Your feelings are you're own, flaunting them on the web especially is quite puerile. Maybe highschool isn't the place for some people to "go out" and miraculousy find their spouse, but eveyone has to start somewhere. Don't condone reltionships when you haven't given them a fair chance.

Well if thats the definition of a relationship from where you're from, thats really sad.

 

That seems like the easiest way to kill a relationship. You have to keep your priorities straight, and logical.

 

Don't screw up your life now, unless it involves chicken nuggets.

Nothing wrong with relationships is highschool... but if you dont REALLY like the other person or if your just in it for the "benifits" its gonna end badly... with lots of drama.

But you have to admit...

 

Well, if you're in just for the 'benifits'... Both people in the relationship have to agree with it because then, it won't end so bad.

 

I know people who are like that, which is half my friends.

[sax5warrior]

Im mixed, if you want to knock yourself out, go ahead, life's short.

 

 

At the same time, I strongly wouldnt recommend HS relationships because They dont last

 

People dont realize that, but not everyone thinks like ole' Marco Polo

[Aegis Fang]

Thus the whole "general off topic" forum that we are currently in =)

*ahem* were in a "General Off-Topic" forum

[bluebellbrass07]

I know, its still fnny that we talk about some of this on a band website. I guess i just have an odd sence of humor.

[TRtrumpet]

Yea thats pretty much what this forun (Off-topic) is for, lol

 

...anyways... yea. Relationships=Drama is highschool most of the time.

[chickora]

Highschool=Drama.

 

You're going to have it no matter what.

[TRtrumpet]

True, but who needs the EXTRA drama? lol.

I can honestly say I have never been involved in drama, nor do I pay attention to it.

 

I had no idea what it was until someone tried to describe it to me... and I still don't have a good understanding.

 

 

So trust me, it's avoidable if you try!

[actualgirltrombone]

Travis, you've CAUSED drama!

See... Thats a suprise.

 

I'm so oblivious I don't even know it happened.

[actualgirltrombone]

Well, I thought it was drama. I'm not sure if you viewed it the same way.

Well, Travis.

 

It's avoidable because you don't even know how to detect it, so if this is true..

then you're the only exception that I know of.

True.

I consider forgetting homework drama.

This debate has me torn. Part of me says that high school relationships can be overrated, especially the physical aspects an unnecessary drama. But part of me also says that they can be beneficial at least from the perspective of social develepmont; by learning the basics and having the opportunity to make mistakes, you can better enable yourself to pursue a truly meaningful relationship later on in life. Then there's the hopeless romantic in me who wants to have a fairy-tale soul-mate true-love happy-ending solution to everything.

 

I do want to note for those who say that the fact that high school relationships don't last is a disadvantage, it could also be considered a plus. Seriously: how many people really want to marry their first boy/girlfriend?

Haha, I did at the time. We were together for 3 years. lol

But now..

 

 

OMG, NO!
