I know this may sound strange, but is it worth the trouble for me, a 15 year old, to have any interest in the opposite sex? Based on other topics, sex seems over-rated. The clincher is that I go to an all boys school so finding a female that I like and that likes me is very difficult. So to all you guys and gals, is it really worth the effort to even have contact with the opposite sex?
Is it worth it?

of course it is. you'll have your ups and downs but nothing makes you feel more alive. you just gotta have confidence.
Well, it's not all about sex you know... Holding a girls hand, looking into her eyes, loving her, her loving you, kissing... I'd say yes, it's worth it.
Wha? You make it sound like it isn't inevitable. If you feel more comfortable stalling for a few more years, sure go for it.
I third this. A relationship is not just about sex, nor is having interest in the opposite sex solely because of sex.Simriel said:
If you're up for all the romantic stuff: Sure it's worth the trouble. If not: I suggest finding other means of releasing sexual tension than a relationship.
Well... unless you're homosexual (And you absolutely know it) then I guess you don't really need a romantic relationship with the opposite sex. And if you are gay then you're at the right school lol. But seriously though, even people who are gay tend to spend time with the opposite sex, in a friendly relationship. So really no matter what your sexual orientation is having relations with the opposite sex is a good thing. Besides girls may help you see the world in a new perspective. One you wouldn't get at an all boy's school.
Growing up for what? Meeting girls? He's a teenager. This is probably the most important time of his life to socialize. This isn't about finding a soul-mate.John_Doe_Damnit said:
Anyway, sex probably is over-rated, but that doesn't mean it's not good.
But hey, if you think girls are too much of a bother, you could always turn gay. Or asexual(no, I'm not joking). Still, there are only two genders in the world, I'm sure you'll be missing out on something if you don't hang out with both of them.

I'm sorry sir, but you are an ass.
Yes, of course it's worth it. This is for your own good...*slaps OP round face*...now go and talk to some girls.
Your friends have girlfriends...they probably have friends, do they all hang out together? Go along. Now, *Mr.T voice* crazy fool.
Friends will also ***** about their girlfriends when they are around you because thats what people do, especially at a young age, it's easier than working stuff out with the person in question. I doubt your mate would spend time pouring his heart out about how great she makes him feel to you. So you hear all the bad shit and none of the good, so it seems that things are a lot worse than they are.
Plus young teenagers in general are complete nightmares. I will not apologise for this blanket statement, you are, all of you, no exceptions. It gets better with age.

O dear, here we see 1 of the tragic results of gender seperation at school.
Anyway:
Yes ofcourse it is! They're people too, go hang out, socialise, for the love of god don't end up like me (sitting lonely in a little room behind your computer all day)! Go while there still is time! It's all valuable experience.

Even if your relationship is a total failure, which it is likely to be at that age, it's still a great learning experience for later life. You don't want to find the perfect girl and then make a schoolboy error later in life...
And what's the harm in having a few girls as friends?

Are you trying to be the next Eggo? Seriously, it's not just this post either, but almost every time I've seen you post something. Are you trying to get yourself suspended?Anonymouse said:
I went to an all boys school and it was actually a bit tougher for me, because I went to a Grammar School so I got a lot of stick from my comprehensive school friends. Trust me though, it's definitely worth it to be interested in the opposite sex, even then. You'll get hurt a few times (I know I have...), but that goes for everyone, and in the end it's worth it. You'll still meet someone great who cares about you and who you love back, whether you go to an all boys school or a mixed school. There was actually an interesting article on this effect in literature in my University student newspaper:ghost02 said:
