We hear those movie-like stories all the time about how couples have been married for years and years after meeting in high school, but are those types of stories caused by searches or just by chance and luck?
In high school, we have so many things to worry about: friends, grades, clubs, sports, jobs, college, etc. So with all of those important activities to tackle, do we really need to be focused on trying to find someone to spend the rest of our lives with? No. Odds are, the person you date in high school will not be the person you end up marrying when you are older. So why waste your time looking for what you most likely will not find when you should be concentrating on setting up your life and future.
This is just high school. Relationships are not the most important things. Teens need to start prioritizing grades to get into a good college. After school, the next priority should be having fun with friends. Having fun is the best part of high school and most couples don't know how to balance friends with relationships so they end up wasting those years focusing on one person.
For those of you who are in high school and in healthy relationships, I'm not saying that is bad. But you should definitely be aware that balance is the key to success. Don't get so heavily involved with someone that you start to lose your sense of logic. Always follow your heart, but always use your brain also.
