Relationships + School = ??
by School is a very important element in a teen’s life, and school is meant to help its students thrive and live a good life as an adult. You can’t do that with your attention and focus is on another thing! By the other thing, I mean having a girl-to-boy relationship. I am thirteen and I am writing this article to advice teens of my age or of any actually, of being ready to actually be in a relationship.
I have many classmates and friends of mine who have their ‘special friends’. Are your grades at the top? Are you having trouble in organization? Do you know what ‘responsibility’ means? Lastly, do you know what diversion is? I’m not stating from this article that having a relationship is bad; I just want everyone to know that the goal when you have a special friend would be to spend more time with each other, never stop thinking about each other, and eventually you would lose track of what your real goal in life is.

I asked many of my friends of reasons why having a ‘friend’ is useful? One of them said: because you learn more about relationships. Another said that you would know how it feels to fall in love. Does the two words break-up ever occur to you? Yes, most teenage relationships end in break-up due to less attention, apart from each other, or just feeling like it. With another thing you need to take care of in life, makes life harder for you. Worry about your life as an adult first, then worry about having girlfriends/boyfriends.
Relationships put you apart from family and friends, since you would be spending more time with the special one of yours. Instead of studying for your finals, you probably go watch a movie with her and get a zero the following day. Yes, people do many things for love, but is it the right thing to do?
Just ask yourself that, if you are a teen, what sort of life are you having right now? Does having someone special make your life more perfect? Will you be able to maintain that tree of yours and keep watering regularly? Are you mentally ready for consequences such as break-up? Have you made a friend to friend relationship with him/her? Do you really like him/her? Have you got what it takes to be a boy/girlfriend? These are the kind of reflective questions you should ask yourself if you’re thinking of having a girlfriend or boyfriend. Adults, I’m sure you’re experts at this!
Thank you for reading!

There are some very good insights here. Sometimes even adults find it difficult to balance relationships with their other responsibilities.

Okay kid, try at least hitting tenth grade before you attempt to make any assumptions about real relationships…
