i was just wondering if anyone here thinks a high school relationship can turn into a life long relationship. i think it can. ive had my gf for a while now and we get along great. i mean weve already said we're staying together forever. and i know we can. ive just heard a lot that high school relationships never last. mostly because theyre still kids and dont know exactly what they want. but i know what i want. so i think its possible if ur the right people.

well since most ppl are somewhat immature and whatnot in high school, that could be a major reason why they dont last.
i say that if two ppl that are really interested in each other and want to see how far that relationship will go, then it will last.
but most of the time thats not what your looking for,(yall know what i mean) so it doesnt last. all it comes down to is are you really willing to comprimse, and how much are you willing to give up (on both sides, not just the guy or the girl. or whatever the situation is, you know?) to stay together.
i think?
yeah.

Interesting question - I had a relationship carried on from the last year of high school into university, which broke down about two years after high school. There were a lot of factors there - we went to different universities - but I think mostly that we changed into very different people as we went from 18 to 20.
It is a transitional time for most people, moving from education into work, and any transitional time is very stressful on people and therefore on relationships, particularly where those in the relationship are very young and inexperienced in handling those stresses.
That said, I know quite a few couples that were high school sweethearts and now in their mid-30s.
So, I guess it's possible. Just not very common.

Of course they can work out! It just so happens that nine times out of ten, they don't.
My dad is one example - He married his high school sweetheart, but they broke up after 12 years of marriage.
Personally, since the chances are pretty low to find someone you truly want to stay with for the rest of your life in high school, I'm just waiting it out... I'm not about to pay for some girl's dinner and movie who I won't even know once we graduate, nor do I want to go through all of the squishy emotional stuff if I don't need to.
If I do find someone who I feel really strongly about in high school, of course I won't just brush her off. But my point is, I'm not "actively seeking".

Oh, yeah, OK, sure, pal, we are all really really impressed by your sekshooull skillz. Please can you teach me to be a super-hottt stud muffin like you so broads will pay me 2 give it to them 2?
<~~ And I don't use that lightly.In answer to the original question, my sister married her highschool sweetheart. They've been together for more than 20 years, not all of them perfectly happy, but more than happy enough. It can work, if you are both committed to it.
Or, you could be like regulate here, but I suggest you don't.

Normally I would agree with Sage that high school relationships are stupid; however, as I am planning on entering one soon, nothing he said makes any sense whatsoever. Hell, he based his entire argument on some statistic he pulled out of his ass. Yep, milefile must be an idiot too, because he crushed my dreams as well.

See the verbage I wrote above the "rolleyes" smiley, and you might understand the line you quoted.
Given this analysis of the relationship, I say the odds that it will outlast this year of school are slightly worse than the odds that the asteroid will hit the Earth in 2014.Originally posted by Mopar Muscle

Good luck, though. Try what milefile suggests; tell her how you feel about her. Avoid using words like "nice rack" to win bonus points.
i think we can last. i didnt even think we could last this long. but we get along better than i could ever expect to get along with any gf. we've really had no big disagreements or arguments. ya my parents got married about 17 too but you know my mom was pregnant with my brother. so i think that can have a lot to do with people being stuck with each other. and as far as her family goes they have a pretty good track record for highschool relationships. her parents were together in high school. and her aunt and uncle dated 13 years b4 they married. and her sister just married her high school bf.

I would say that it is possible, just not probable.
High school aged minds don't necassarily take "the big picture" into account. When you're out of high school and living a real life you see things you didn't see before. You and your significant-other most often become different people. You may realize that this person isn't the one you originally fell in love with.

Well I first met my partner at the age of 14... we were friends for a few months and started going out when I was 15.
13 years later we are still together and have 4 children to show for it
We agreed to grow old together and that's what we'll do
One day we'll get round to marrying
