Poll: High school: too early?

[Captain Pancake]

in my opinion, it is too early. i'm in high school, and i've seen plenty of people "Island hop" between relations, none lasting too long, and relations lasting longer than a month really are a diamond in the rough. personally speaking, i'd say it's too early, but that's because i'm repulsive to the opposite sex.
but that's just my opinion. hopefully things will get better at uni, i don't know.

Friendships though, are where it's never too early. I have a friend just now that i've had for almost 6 years now, which is about as long as i've lived in this town. we really spark off, and there's no maturity or other age related issue holding us back. we're just two guys with way too many things in common. and that's my two pennies.

So that means your parents grew up in the 70-80's a tota;;y different enviroment than the 90's say.

Both decent points, but this post sums it up nicely:

There is something wrong with you.

Just because you don't crave sex doesn't mean theirs anything wrong with you, it's acually better because that means your not perverted.

So... By what you're saying if you DO crave sex, you're a pervert?

I don't believe so, one of my best friends is planning on marrying her boyfriend when they both turn 18, and damned if you can't tell that there insanely in love (and the boy's joining the Navy, so it's not like he's a slacker).

Edit: Also, I've had my best friends since early middle school, and I plan on keeping them.

I think it depends on who you are. I still keep in touch my the first friend i ever made in my life. As well as a friend that i met 13 years ago in elementary school. It all depends on the relationships you build with your friends. I had tons of friends in highschool who I considered my friends, but today I havent spoken a word to them since graduation.

if your talking romantic. Just follow your heart, as cheesy and cliche as this sounds, go with it. If you truly believe beyond any doubt in your head that your with the right person shit, why sacrifice that? I'm in a really serious relationship and I get tons of crap for it, since in my social circle I'm the only one dating this seriously. If you feel like your relationship is important and its a healthy one. Stick with it

If you CRAVE it then yes, your a pervert.

I find your comment to be insulting, uninformed and more then likely based in some religious belief that sex is somehow unnatural.

have a good life.

most of my best friends went to highschool with me (some even in the same class) and some have been dating since then. I have found there people who are very important in my life. But then again in Italy we have classes which are composed by the same people for 5 years, so you share a long part of your life with them.

I too, find that uninformed - and aI totally agree with your point.

As to the OP poll:
No it isn't too early - and I can't see any good reason why it is.

 

[mike1921]

Depends completely on the person, in general no though. Especially if you're the type that needs to study for hours on end to pass, lucky for me I don't need to study at all to do good.

Just don't expect a relationship you were in for a month to be that serious.

 

[dodo1331]

Currently in highschool. Freshman.

And I can safely say my best friend and I will be best friends for a LONGGG time.

Love relationships on the other hand have a lower percentage to stay serious.

 

[thoraxe5000]

take it from me, you DO NOT want to get into a "serious relationship" with a girl in high-school, most of them are bitches who do not know what they want in a man.

I think it's too early for a serious relationship. Kids, even relatively mature ones, should mess around, experiment and not take it too seriously. It's a great time for that, possibly the best, and relationships are cool, but it when it gets taken seriously that you get problems. For every lovely story you read of high school sweethearts who've been married for 50 years, you get like ten stories of emo kids trying to commit suicide over some girl who dumped them, or girls self harming due to boyfriend problems. It's dumb as hell. Duders need to chill the fuck out.

For the record I never had a girlfriend in high school. I wasn't sociable, shy around girls, wasn't attractive and was a bit of an outcast.

BUT I HAVE AN OPINION GODDAMIT! AND YOU WILL HEED IT. I HAVE SPOKEN.

I didn't see or talk much to any of my high school friends during my first year at university, i.e. the one I just completed. However, I still saw a few of them at Christmas and a few weeks ago I went out with them all for a massive pub crawl for the birthday of one of them. I stayed relatively close overall to my high school friends, basically, despite not having seen them that much over the past year. So I can safely say that high school isn't too young for any relationship, friendship or otherwise.

 

[ViolentlyHappy91]

Way too early to make meaningful relationships with anyone in most cases. I know i'm still friends with 1 person I met in high school.

 

[HotShooter]

Any type of relationship has the potential to last through school and long afterwards, but the chances of it happening are often not too high.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Good god yes.

Seriously, people usually "hook up" because they "fancy" that guy/gal and know from media and adults in general that going out is the "done" thing.

I think high school friendships can definitely be long lasting.

As for romantic relationships I suppose it's possible but it seems highly unlikely. Everyone in long term relationships that I know met in or after university, including both sets of my grandparents. I think that at that age most people are still figuring out what they want and how to deal with other people's needs and feelings. I'm still not sure I'm ready for a proper adult relationship and I'm in my second year of university.

 

[Matronadena]

it's a normal age to start aiming for the more stable and long lasting relationships ( and by this I mean romantic relationships)...more so towards junior, and senior years..however in truth very very very few of them last beyond H.S- freshman year of uni.. BUT it's still a important time to start to learn to establish such connections.

 

[ThePocketWeasel]

Totally depends on how mature you are I guess.
However if it doesn't go well and you're in the same class it could make things difficult cause people will always side.

However it can also depend on the maturity of your friends, well it did at my school :| If 2 people in our class were going out all the lads would crowd round and watch them kiss and force them to do stuff just for their own entertainment. Which is pretty sick.

 

[BakaMick]

I have friends that i met in my first day of Primary School (thats Pre-K to 5th/6th grade for all you USA folk) and they are still some of my closest friends, a few who have been close since being young have actualy gotten engaged
