Do you think dating in high school is pointless?

[Lyndin]

Yes, it's pointless

No, there's a point

[samhradh_leannan]

I didn't date in high school. At the time, I felt like I was missing out. But I think it actually benefitted me to start dating when I was more mature. Sometimes it seems like people who start dating at a young age grow accustomed to immature, unstable relationships, and then they continue to expect that in their relationships. I see questions on here being asked by people who are 25-30 and when they describe their relationship, it makes me wonder if they're actually still in middle school.

I think that high school relationships prepare you for more serious relationships. The more people you date, the more experience you get.

[Lyndin]

I think so too

[epickirby]

My boyfriend and I met in high school. I'm engaged now and we have a 4 month old son so thank goodness for high school :)

[_caaaaaaam]

You're 18 and you have a 4 month son. Wow, thank goodness for hs

[epickirby]

Yeah I am. I graduated already last year and Im going to college already. And our little boy is healthy and we're both happy. So? @_caaaaaaam

[_caaaaaaam]

So? Um How about you're too young.

[epickirby]

@_caaaaaaam I might be, but I also have the support I need.

[epickirby]

People will say that Im too young or that I can't do it. Especially when you're young because its hard and it'll only get harder. Honestly, as long as you have the support you need from the right people, you can do it.

[_caaaaaaam]

I don't have any doubts that you can raise a kid. What sucks is that you're going to have to make huge sacrifices in your life for the kid. That's a huge price tag considering you only live once.

[epickirby]

@_caaaaaaam Sacrifices? I don't mind, honestly. At first, I was very insecure about everything that I was doing, but now I feel like I have a purpose and that's to my little boy. He's like my bestfriend but most of all he's MY son. I love the sound of that. I wasn't the type to go partying anyways. And I didn't have many friends before so my life didn't really change like that.

[_caaaaaaam]

How do you even support him at that age?

[Prettygurl12]

I'm marrying my HS sweetheart so for me... there was very much a point.

[Lyndin]

Wow good for you!!

[Cody01]

There's no point in making them last but dating in High School is good because you become more experienced and you get to know what you like and don't like in a person.

[sarath1997]

actually nope , mostly won't survive , but still it gives experience to whom to date and what type or personality ...🤔😈😏

[BoraNicol]

It's pointless, because th century majority of the relationships in highscool don't last very long. They're for a short term

[Poppykate]

Yes, which is why I wasn't allowed to do it! Don't regret it at all.

[Tales_Grimm]

Many marriages start with high school dating... including my parents, my gf's parents, my cousins... etc

[Deathraider]

Dating is to find out if you two are a match to each other.

[geonator]

It usually is save the very slim amount of times nowadays that they get married in the long run

[Whatthefluff]

Usually pointless.

[sadgirl2002]

Ya it really is lol

[SnowHearth]

Yes.

[epf11]

Honestly, yes it is

[Dred1614returns]

Definitely pointless

[Lumberman53]

It is
