Poll: grades or relationship?

[Cliff_m85]

is it better to be the highest rank in your class in high school and be without a relationship your whole highschool carreer or to have a relationship and have average grades?

I dont have this problem, but a friend of mine does. and i couldnt tell him which was better. Need ideas to tell him please. He is a very lonely person.

Does he have a working hand? If so he should just focus on grades.

Since I don't have a relationship, I say good grades.

Im smart enough to have good grades AND have a relationship... Although having a relationship has made my grades go down a bit as i do less work for school and more for her.
Not that I mind.

Most high school relationships are empty and don't end well. Not that there aren't exceptions, but if you really had to pick, go with the option that will better allow you to support the partner you eventually find. Grades may not be a guarantee, but they sure as hell are a good start.

Idk, my relationships havent spoiled my grades. I guess cause I know that their not gonna last and it dosnt affect me during the breakup

I know that your education can lead you to better things.


But being caught up in your education/job can lead you to the 40 year old virgin status.

I'm in college, so the high school thing doesn't really apply to me, but...

I'm about to enter a very competitive program (film and television) and will, quite literally, have no time for a relationship.

Unless I meet a girl who is willing to sit on the floor of the film editing lab for three days at a time, I would never have time to see her. (I will be spending the majority of my time in the editing lab, and what little sleep I'll get will be spent sleeping on the floor for power-naps.)

So for now, grades take priority.

Good grades -> More Money -> Easier women.

Just kidding, or am I?

Irrelevant. I would have way better grades if I had someone to motivate me; I'm suspended for a semester for having failed too many classes ever since it dawned on me how alone I was.

So are you saying that if you have a girlfriend you will do better on grades?

Obviously I can't speak for your friend, but having someone's love besides my family's would do wonders for me beyond raising my grades back to their former glory.

i was just comprehending what you said. your the only one that said something like this. It makes complete sense too.

For the love of God, you have to ask? Grades, you fool, grades!

Enjoy your childhood, but don't screw your future because you want to bump uglies with the cheerleading captain! You'll have your whole life to have a relationship.

Also, this should be in OT discussion.

 

[Souplex]

There is no actual reward for having grades above the minimum requirement however, having a relationship is always nice

 

[DragonChi]

assuming the relationship is with your soul-mate, then the relationship. otherwise..grades.

 

[US Crash Fire]

grades should come fisrt. especially if your in high school. but you should make time for both. its all about time management baby!

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

Grades... Though (as people have said before me) it's much easier to say that than it is to really avoid relationships for the sake of good grades.
I mean... Last year, when I was in year 11, a few of my year 12 friends told me explicitly to not get in a relationship, as if it were to end badly around/just before exam time, I'd be screwed.

But yea... I'm in year 12 now, and in a relationship... So it's not so much that I didn't listen, just that it's pretty hard to follow just one path or the other

It IS possible to have both. But a grade last, where as a relationship has a possibility not to last. Gotta go with grades on this one.

Probably because "Relationship", for me, equates to love, [com]passion, connecting with someone at the deepest level, etc. And not connecting with someone's penis/vagina. Like some crass comment earlier in the thread about only needing a working hand...

It's just about priorities and your friend should ponder what his are. If he's doing fine in school and isn't clinical-depression-lonely then he should focus on his grades as people will always be there to be met while diplomas are a stricter pain in the ass especially with regards to how many times you can fail and try again (I'm learning that the hard way).

yeah my friend is the top rank at the school but he is getting depressed from being lonely. He blames it from his rank because he gets judged all the time and that causes many of his problems.

sure a "freind" has the problem...

Go for it all man, there is no reason you should not be able to have both.

in the end it depends what you really want out of life. family or career, money or love. however there are ways to obtain both with compramises and such

good luck

umm... yes you can... thats my point. you can have both but it won't be easy.

grades are going to help you in the future by getting a good degree or college opportunity. relationships will give you some shorttime fun and maybe an STD...if you are lucky

try both... relationship + acceptable grades (6/10-8/10, whatever alphabetical grades that resembles, B- or something)
