Bf/Gf labels in highschool? Options

[swimgirlarc]

yes i did a search on this


who here uses boyfriend/ girlfriend labels in highschool and why??

i'm just wondering. Personally i dont believe in the whole BF/GF label concept in highschool cuz comon...its highschool. If you do have a BF its not like the relationship is going to go anywhere. I mean i can see labels in college where ur BF could be a potential husband, but thats different. When guys ask me to be their GF, i just say i'll go on dates with them. I feel anyone who slaps on the GF/BF label is claiming this one person so everyone knows. Does anyone feel the same?


Also, does anyone think that girls who have a million bfs are actually insecure? sometimes I think girls go out w/ guys in highschool just to brag to other girls, because getting a guy is like showing other girls that theyre the most beautiful, so they're better.

i was kinda rambling there, but if any of you understand what I mean, dont be afraid to post your opinions.

I agree with the original poster, to a certain extent (and it looks to be a dissenting opinion we share). Speaking from the point of view of a college student, you really learn a lot when you finally leave home. College is mainly about finding yourself, and people change a lot when going to college because they are finally learning (and finalizing) who they are. So yes, even though there is protest, face it: Most high school relationships do end after high school, no matter how "in love" you think you are at the time. Yes, some relationships do persist, but those are by far the exception, not the rule.

Having said that, I do think that relationships in high school are valuable. They really do help a person mature and figure out who they are. Relationships in general serve that purpose. If nothing else, they help teach kids how to deal with relationship issues. I didn't have any serious relationships in high school, and I often feel that this has disadvantaged me as an adult. So I do think that relationships in high school are valuable, even though—let's face it—most of them don't last long after high school.
