Nothing lasts forever

Relationships. Throughout high school, the majority of us end up having one. As teenagers, we all want to fit in, and relationships let us do that. It’s the ‘cool’ thing to do. Dating also gives you the opportunity to find out more about yourself; like what characteristics you like and don’t like in people and it also show you characteristics you never knew you had. And that, is very interesting.

                We’ve all heard the saying “nothing lasts forever” this statement applies to many things, especially high school relationships. This might be because we always get into relationships for the sake of just being in a relationship. To show we’re not alone. To show that someone ‘excepts’ us. But this isn’t always true because at the beginning of a relationship we date that person because of their looks and then find out we don’t really like their personality. Another reason relationships don’t last in high school is because we have so many options. That probably sounds bad but it’s true. Even if you don’t think it is, trust me, it is. Then once we find someone else we like we just move on.

                High school relationships, and all relationships, take a toll on your friendships, sometimes, leaving you to choose between your friendship and you relationship. Unfortunately this always weakens one relationship. Possibly even ending it. And it always just so happens to be your relationship with the person you’re dating. Sisters before mister’s right? Drugs, alcohol and sex also have a very big effect on relationships. These things dramatize your relationship more than it needs to be. But I’ll save this topic for a later date.

                On the bright side, some high school relationships do last. Even if it is only about 5%, it still proves that something’s do, indeed, last forever.
