Relationships

High School relationships are unique. Everything is so new and exciting. Having someone to walk you to classes, someone to hold hands with in the halls, and a friendly face to be greeted by when it seems like you're all alone. I think high school relationships are great. There a way of learning and experience for teens. They can make you stronger, and sometimes leave fond memories for later on in life. As many people know, not every relationship in high school will last. Chances are that your boyfriend/girlfriend from Freshman year will not be your boyfriend/girlfriend when you're 20. The reason I decided to bring up relationships this week is because I think that so many of us want to be in love, no matter what our age is. But what I've noticed in my three years of being in high school is that not every "I love you" you say or are told will be sincere. I think that so many teens over use these three words when they're in a relationship because that's what they believe is the right thing to say, even if they don't truly mean it. And to be honest I've done this before, and I'm sure many others are guilty of it as well. It's a tricky and touchy subject. Many teens are in such a rush to grow up and to be in love. They are always thinking ahead instead being their age and taking in everything. I'm also guilty of this. Sometimes when you're in a new relationship you'll lose sight of who you used to be, maybe spend so much time with your new boyfriend/girlfriend and forget about your friends. Try to not forget about them. Their the people who will be there when all else fails. Don't change yourself to make you seem more appealing for your crush. If you be yourself then you'll find someone who really does like and appreciate the real you. What I wanted to get through in this post is that you will probably be in many relationships before you find "the one" and that with each relationship comes new and exciting things. Enjoy the time you have with the person, because one day they may become some of your favorite memories. I strongly believe that one day, everyone will end up with or meet who they should be with. There's someone out there for everyone. This may sound a little too fairy tale ending for you but, it's just how I look at it.

  1. I agree with you, I believe relationships should be a part of high school that every teenager should experience.

  2. Aw, Bridget, this is such a positive outlook! I love that you tell people not to neglect their friends, since they're the ones that will probably stick around after that boyfriend or girlfriend has moved on. I also like your advice about not feeling obligated to say "I love you" and enjoying the moment instead of rushing ahead into adulthood. A very insightful post!

  5. This is the first post I read of your blog, Bridget, and I love it. Your post about relationships are so true. I think its' true that there are times when we may act differently or try to change yourselves for someoen we may "love". The truth is that there is someone out there that will love us just the way we are. It may take days, weeks, months, or even years to meet them, but we will in time. We should just continue to be teenagers, and if we do meet our life time partner in high school, then it will happen.
