<p>i wouldn't like to think that wont happen to me, but it's as if high school relationships don't usually last. what do you guys thnk?</p>
<p>maybe because the couples only date because they like each other’s physical appearance.</p>
<p>Because it’s just the cool thing to do at the time.</p>
<p>I’ve always viewed single dating as getting ready to pair off for marriage…looking for a future husband/wife, etc. I’m not sure I know too many high school kids concerned with that, so when they realize that their “love” won’t last through “life 'til they part” the relationship breaks apart.</p>
<p>nothing ever really lasts</p>
<p>I know a couple who have been together since freshman year of high school. They’re now sophomores in college. Don’t generalize.</p>
<p>Both my girlfirend and I were specifically only looking for a potential husband/wife, so ours has lasted quite a while and will hopefully last past high school.</p>
<p>It can be generalised that high school relationships don’t last. It’s the truth, apart from the few rare cases. Oh and yes they do date each other cuz of each others looks. At least the guys at my school, they’re either nerds who ain’t into that stuff or the most superficial guys in the world!</p>
<p>fizix2 is right. It’s a fact of life, not just high school. Relationships in general end for different reasons. Sometimes the people change, sometimes what people want changes, sometimes people make mistakes, etc. etc.</p>
<p>^ I agree. That’s why we’re not all married with kids.</p>
<p>So I’ve been dating my bf since our freshman year. We’ve only recently begun to have problems. Really it’s just because you change alot between the ages of 14 and 18.</p>
<p>Because we’re immature and we are yet not able to handle “the stress” part of a relationship</p>
<p>Because high school is only our experimental stage in dating to see what we really like.</p>
<p>sex, drugs, and alcohol!</p>
<p>High school kids.</p>
<p>most HS relationships are only begun because of a mutual desire for a good time. girls like someone to flatter and care for them, guys like sex and the various bases in between, or they like the female company. when it’s no longer fun, most of them part ways.</p>
<p>i personally know this isn’t always the case. i’ve been w.my girlfriend for almost a year and a half, and we both intend on it lasting much longer. it hasn’t always been fun, but it’s worth it for both of us.</p>
<p>yeah, i’d say they don’t last because they date people because of looks.</p>
<p>but i know one couple who started dating in 8th grade and then they got married the year after they graduated from college. but i think that’s probably very rare.</p>
<p>It depends. Sometimes you go into a relationship looking for a good time, looking for someone to hook up with and spend time with and have fun with, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but once something serious happens or you decide you want to focus on something other than fun, those can fall apart easily. And sometimes, especially after you’ve been together 9-15 months or so, you begin to realize that something has changed. People really do change a lot and have lots of stages in high school, and a lot of the time people weren’t aware of that going into the 'ship or aren’t motivated enough to stay together.</p>
<p>It depends. My personal opinion is that most teens aren’t looking for a “happily ever after” when it comes to their relationships … they are looking for a good time with someone they like. So when things get boring or someone else catches their eye, there’s no longer any point in continuing their relationship – because it’s not like they’re married with kids that they have to at least try to make it work. </p>
<p>And like in any other relationship, the two people involved grow and change as time goes on and sometimes growing older does mean growing apart.</p>
<p>Dating around is healthy: not only do you enjoy yourself in the short term, but you also gain relationship experience, learning what you do or not like about others’ behavior in relationships as well as your own behavior. </p>
<p>My high school relationships have lasted 8 months, 3 weeks, and 1 year, and my current one is at about a month (although it’s ambiguous…) – but I don’t have a problem with people who date more often, especially if they’re (a) just in it for fun and know it and/or (b) learning from their experiences.</p>
<p>Cheaaaaaat</p>
