“People who have lost relationships often wonder why they can't just let it be 'water under the bridge'...

...it is under the bridge-the trouble is we do not live on the bridge, but in the river."
-Grant Fairley

Relationships in high school make just about as much sense as the homework my chemistry teacher usually assigns.

Most sane, functional folks would agree that chemistry is about as senseless as it gets, therefore that would complete the analogy that relationships in high school are usually pointless and end up leading nowhere but heart ache and all the pain that goes along with it.

That's the general rule. There are a few exceptions, like, for instance the people who date all through out high school and then end up getting married. However, that's just a small percentage. What people need to understand is that high school's the one time in our life where we get to act as crazy as we feel like.

I just feel like serious relationships should be reserved for our adult years. We should just take high school easy, and not get involved in anything that could seriously hurt us.

A friend of mine usually always has a significant other in her life. Whether it's a small fling, or a serious relationship, she's got that special some one. However, this summer was a lonely one for her. She had nobody that she felt even the least bit attracted to. You know what she told me? That it was the best, most 'chill' summer that she's had in a very long time. Problems were almost nonexistent to her.

Hmmm, let take a quick look at the correlations in this situation.

Boyfriend=drama.

No boyfriend= (almost) no drama

After a lengthy analytical review of this tid bit of information I've come to the conclusion that boyfriends are the causes of drama*.

Isn't everyone looking to reduce the anxiety they feel. Well, is the month or two of bliss you feel with that special some one really worth the feelings that come with the failure of your relationship? Because, honestly, your relationship will probably most likely not succeed. It's tragic, I know, but that's just the way life is.

I propose a solution to this dilemma. Do you really have to be committed to the one you cuddle with? Why is it so unacceptable in society to have a bit of fun with no strings attached? Not that I would get involved in something like that, but I'm just saying. It's stupid really, it goes back to that whole issue of conforming.

But that's another topic for another post. This one will have to end here. Besides, my sixth hour class is about to start.

*Drama is a slang term commonly used by most high school students to refer to the stress and troubles they feel in their lives.
