<p>northwestlover- I have to agree with Strong Bad. That was great :)</p>
<p>LOL! Strongbad is great</p>
<h1>1 at my school and a gf for almost a year now...of course its possible...its just about discipline...</h1>
<p>Hmm. sort of reminds me of previous relationships,</p>
<p>Well, my boyfriend is Indian and I'm half Indian - his dad is ok with it, his mom is the one who has major issues with me being in the picture. </p>
<p>The thing is, if anything my boyfriend's grades have improved - I make sure he does his homework, doesn't sleep too much, (yeah, I take care of him) his strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa, so we help eachother (it's nice since he's a year older, he probably helps me more since he's in APs/IBs for science/math). As for my grades - they would've been a lot worse if he wasn't around. Well, I might not have made it through the worst points of my depression without him. So, he's definitely been beneficial.</p>
<p>The good/bad thing is, he lives 45 minutes away from me, so we both do have our seperate social lives' - we trust and respect eachother. He has his own friends/activities and I have mine - yet I know his good friends and he knows mine. </p>
<p>I've almost been going out with my guy for a year, and since he's a senior this year, we talked a long time ago about colleges - I'm not effecting any of his decisions and he won't affect mine - academics come first and even though we're in it deep with eachother, even with the stress and strain, we'll make it through college if our relationship is as healthy as we think. </p>
<p>It's all about balance. Don't let her get to your head. Stay focused. If she starts talking about the same colleges, ones your not interested in or only interested in because she is - tell her academics come first and if she thinks not, then break it off. Be serious about it - don't fall into fairytale - "we'll be together forever." I don't care what anyone says, if you will be, you will be regardless of college/etc.</p>
<p>Original poster, this is other asian mother! having girlfirend very bad! first you start getting B+ in school then you bring baby home? Pop icons like Brittney spear influencing you too much with song like “Hips No Lie”!</p>
<p>okay…that was sarcasm. Just checking.</p>
<p>If she’s the kind of girl that needs to be around you 24/7, then I don’t think it’s worth it.</p>
<p>(Those kinds of couples are annoying anyway.)</p>
<p>Stupid necros.</p>
<p>lmao only on CC would this question be asked…</p>
<p>Wait… Why was this bumped?</p>
<p>Of course it’s fine! My boyfriend is extremely into math/science while I’m better at the humanities, and we help each other out a lot and understand when the other just needs to spend some time alone studying, too. It’s definitely possible.</p>
<p>Lol yeah why WAS this bumped back?
Haha I’m asian and in one month, it will be my one-year anniversary with my bf and my parents have no idea I even have one!</p>
<p>hey is there anybody have a GF in high school and still get into HYP? lol</p>
<p>^Well, oasis, the OP, just finished his sophomore year at MIT.</p>
<p>Yesss totally possible.
I’ve had a boyfriend for two years (who is totally not into school, horrible grades), and I’m doing just fine.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You said it yourself.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have to say that your parents are totally wrong. Your social skills will carry you just as far, if not farther, than academic skills. Just don’t make it an obsession and your grades won’t slip.</p>
<p>do what i do.
i have my bf help me with my studies.
although, it works better if you have all of your classes with him… or in your case her.
me and my bf had our whole semester together… it worked perfectly, we studied for our exams together, did assignments together (not copying of course lol), and we both got A’s !</p>
<p>Is this really a question? Balance is key and I think it helps to have someone in your life outside of all the pressures of school, ec’s, etc. Like others have said, don’t let it become an obsession, but your grades shouldn’t suffer, and they might actually improve, if you’re in a relationship. Work hard, play hard;)</p>
