Ever since the modernism struck teenagers, Having a romantic relationship with an opposite ex has become prevalent and conventional. Specially in highschool, being someone's girlfriend or boyfriend isn't deemed as villanous as long as you keep a right track of your studies. In fact, it actually spices up your highschool since you have an additional reason to wake up early every morning and cudgel your brains with those sleep-depriving exams and student stuff. You'll have someone who can perk your spirit up when you feel down towards a particular subject. You'll have someone you can set your goals with and celebrate your sense of accomplishment with. You could have an inspirational better half who would make you push it through though you feel like resigning yourself to the dreary fate that school gives you. You will have someone to be proud of if he/she receives an accolade from the school. There would be someone who wouldn't make you feel bitter of Valentine's day and instead, will make you feel pumped out and giddy inside. Most of all, You'll have someone who would make your highschool life simply unforgettable.
But the downside, it can bring a distraction instead of inspiration, isn't it? What if you had a quarrel with your 'bae' and exams weeks are nearly impending? Chances are, your mind will be filled with bafflement and it will give you a hard time to study; Instead of facing a book, you would instrad grab your phone and text your friends while spilling the bits of those vehement thoughts inside you. Even if it seems sweet for you to have a so-called, 'loveteam' however, there is a tendency for you to lose your identity as yourself at school since every now and then, people would see you as: Girlfriend/ Boyfriend of *Insert name here*. Some guys will start to avoid you and back off since you've been known as 'Taken' at the back of their minds. You wouldn't be able to explore other circles and have more pals of the opposite sex. Your highschool life will be limited and worse, controlled by the one you gave your heart to. You'll have more constant fights since the both of you are still juvenile to handle those complicated situations. You'd flunk your grades since you spend more time having such saccharine conversations with each other in lieu of studying. Worst case scenario will be the emergence of teenage pregnancy. Let's face the music, highschool students are indeed venturesome up to the point where, if the temptations slide from their grip they would be filled with uncontrollabilty and might go beyond the bounds.
So as a highschool student, which one outweighs? The first or latter part? To have or to not have? Well, being involved to a next-level relationship depends upon the maturity and the priorities of the persons involved with it. If you think you have a good ability to juggle studies and lovelife while facing the consequences, why not take the plunge? Just be sure to make it LEGAL. If your priorities regarding studies, career and family are set straight and having a romatic relationship isn't not yet your thing as teenager, then I guess waiting for the right time is the best deal for you. After all, YOU are the controller of you life and everything relies to your matter of choice.
