Yet youre assuming all high school students are too stupid to have a relationship. Hm.

The pot calling the kettle black? Have I ever said they were stupid? No. More like not ready for it enough to put the time and effort into it that it takes to keep a relationship healthy and going. Who else wants to assume some more?

Well, if you look above a few posts you will see that you quoted someone calling high school students too "unintelligent" to have a relationship, and agreed with them. I dont know how else to take such a statement.

I'm guessing you're not in high school at the moment? Or is my high school different than all the others in the world?
*puts hand up* we're planning on getting married eventually. my boyfriend's aunt and uncle have been together since they were 13 I think, they're married and have 2 kids. Hope it runs in the family or something, I want my kids to have the same luck :]
I've been with my girlfriend for over a year. There isn't really anything standing in the way from it going on longer. We're both seniors if that matters.
My grandparents met when they were 16. Granted that was 1949, they are still together to this day, (although my grandmother died 15 years ago) something makes me doubt they were on the verge of divorce. And the relationship I've been in the past year and a half has technically been a "High School" relationship. Though for her it's an "Air Force" relationship. We are both very, very happy. Though dating an older girl has it's drawbacks. Ex: Basic Training.
I know it's not really any of my business, but it's getting kinda annoying with all the guys and girls on my Facebook showing off that they're in a relationship with the kissing photos and the ''luv u 4ever'' usernames. :P Honestly I haven't ever seen a highschool relationship lasting more than a year. I think it's a bit childish that kids ''go out'' with each other at such a young age...
Most teenagers still need their parents to take care of them, I think a ''relationship'' is still too big of a responsibility for kids. It ends up being some immature situation 90% of time time, and teenage couples break up for some reason and someone cries about it like it's the biggest thing in the world.
I find highschool ''crushes'' to be a bit silly in some cases, especially because some kids just go out with each other because it makes them feel cool. Do you agree? Have you ever seen a highschool or young relationship actually last?
rubber-chicken
i wouldn't call them silly. hell what i wouldnt have given for a girlfriend in highschool. it all in fun and if it gets serious more power to them.
Agreed TC, it really does seem pathetic seeing people who haven't even hit the real world to declare their undying love for someone. Relationships at that age are often very selfish and self-centered.

I hate when people try to play the "real world" card. What does that have to do with the success of a relationship? Don't even say something about money, because having a job or an education has nothing to do with loving someone. Why is it pathetic for someone to like someone else? Some high school relationships do last. Are those people pathetic? Or are you just trying to make yourself feel better because you haven't found anyone that likes you? I don't see how anyone could have a problem with someone else being in a relationship. You just sound bitter.

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with someone else being in a relationship. You just sound bitter. I completely agree with you, rockyscatnipco. I personally believe the best couples often have been together since they were very young. Adolescence is a time when you can just relax, not have to fuss over life. You don't have to worry about bills, mortgage, car payments or any of that stress. You can just focus all your love on that person. Instead of worrying about finances, pressure of marriage, biological clocks ticking loudly, you can just live and love. No pressure to move anything along too fast (because lol, whoever has a baby on purpose as a teenager is crazy), and you can REALLY get to know each other without the stresses of adulthood.
One set of my grandparents started dating when they were 15, and they've been married 50 years. The other set started dating in college and they've also been married 50 years. But for people I know, usually not more than a couple years. My friend was going strong for over 2 years with her boyfriend but then they broke up.

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with someone else being in a relationship. You just sound bitter. It's not pathetic for someone to like someone else, did I ever say that. . no. I think the large majority of relationships formed in high-school are superficial and pathetic, or substantial if you're looking for a less 'bitter' term. I think people should experience what's out there for them, whether that be in terms of traveling or other general experiences before they delve into such commitments. Sure, you're right, there are relationships which do succeed, but that's when they continue into adulthood, not teenage antics. Also, a job and education have a lot to do with loving someone, as for those without a unrelenting love (like most of us), jobs and education often influence who we become, and indirectly who we find to love. Lastly, no, I'm not trying to make myself feel better because I haven't found anyone that likes me, as my girlfriend of 3 years could agree.

One could argue that a large majority of adult relationships are superficial. Why does it matter to you if someone thinks they are in love in high school? Who are you to decide that their love isn't "substantial?" I don't know too many high schoolers that travel and gain a ton of life experience. That seems to me like the opposite of high school. Of course a successful relationship continues into adulthood, or it wouldn't be successful. The fact that it began earlier doesn't make it any less credible. Your argument that one could find love during their pursuit of a career is irrelevant to high school relationships and it's pretty obvious that not everyone meets in high school.
My parents met when they were 16 while both working at McD's, and they both went to the same high school. An old friend of mine from elementary met a guy back in freshman year. They got married after senior year, and now have been married for a couple years, and have atleast 1 child together, and are very happy. So yeah, I think occasionally they last.

They were together for 60+ years, until my great great grandpa died a few years ago. My great great grandma is still alive (89 I think), and she loves and misses my great great grandpa alot. But, relationships were different back then.

Your argument that one could find love during their pursuit of a career is irrelevant to high school relationships and it's pretty obvious that not everyone meets in high school. Yes, one could argue what you've just stated, and as I've just done. Why does it matter? Well because that's the topic and that's what I have expressed. NSS. You continue to claim or suggest that I have said things which I clearly havent. I havent said 'one could find love during their pursuit of a career', I've only said it influences the decisions we make. It's my opinion, and it's right - to me. Thank you for stating the obvious - eg "I don't know too many high schoolers that travel and gain a ton of life experience. That seems to me like the opposite to high school." Ah yeah . . your point? In reference to my opinion? I fail to see what you're getting at.
But you're right, 'the fact that it began earlier doesn't make it any less credible,' but that's not my point, my point is that relationships that occur during highschool, largely come across as simplistic and precocious, as one usually does not understand the depth behind such commitments and emotions. Please read what I say carefully, and note, I do respect what you are getting at, though my opinion does differ to yours.

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with someone else being in a relationship. You just sound bitter. Although I agree with your first statement (about the "real world" thing), but don't underestimate money as a factor as well. Money has plenty to do with it, and is a big deal in any relationship no matter how much you love that person or think you do.

I never meant unintelligent then. My bad. But I stand by what I said.
