High school relationships - Destined to fail? - Page 7

I think most highschool relationships don't end up working out but that's definitely not to say that they can't. I don't think they're "destined for faliure", it's just case dependent. I just think it's a lot harder to make things work because of all that you're going through.

I've personally been with my 'high school sweetheart' for five years now (I'm 19; graduated).
So I mean, for me, it sure worked out.

It isn't destined to fail...it's just how the two kids were grown up and if they are compatible enough to make it through the rough patches...it's hard...but it isn't always negative...

it truly depends on what you're looking for in a relationship. If you find a guy/girl on the same page as you, usually on something like not having sex until marriage. You have a easier time connection emotionally and lasting.

However since guys usually have a very impulsive sex drive, relationships don't worry due to cheating, or just jealously.

Plus guys get mad at how girls work, instead of trying to understand that girls are different and getting over it.

Of course everything i said can also be looked at vice versa, where the girl has an equal sex drive connected to emotional feelings, and gets mad at a male's lack of emotion towards certain subjects.

Anyways with a stronger form of discipline than others, yes, relationships can work just as well as an adult relationship, if you think about it, they're both the same except adults have seen more therefore have more intelligence on the subject. If children are willing to not have to know everything to know what they want. They can work just fine

@hollie - You're not exactly considered a "worked out" relationship in my opinion, considering you're still 19. I'm sure you haven't gotten marriage and started a family. Maybe you have though, and i apologize in advance if that is truee

id say prolly 99% of highschool relationships are doomed to fail. What do you expect from 15-17 year olds?

I want to say that the chance of High school relationships working out depends greatly on where you live. I've lived in Affluent neighborhoods where the question is "where are you going to college" not "are you going to college" and I've seen an extensive amount of towns where you're lucky to even graduate High school. In the small towns where everyone knows everyone and people are probably going to die in the same 10 miles that they were born in, High school flings have a great chance of becoming lifelong partners. However, if you grow up where your future salary is more important than anything else, there is probably very little chance that you will see the people you were friends with in HS until the 10 year reunion.

oh yea, and I'm 20 years old, and in my 3rd year of college

I'm nearing 20, and I fought the system with high GED scores some time ago. I don't want to say anything too far in one direction. Adolescents are fickle, mean and shallow during that time, and I personally learned not to take any relationship too seriously. On the positive side, my parents were, in fact, high school sweethearts. It only took them 40 years, failed marriages and a couple of kids to reunite with each other and find happiness.

Well, high school sweethearts sure are unique in how dramatic the relationship gets.

Last year for example when a girl I was "dating" quotations because she broke up with a few days after the hook-up, Simply because I wasn't extra sensitive about speaking openly.

Anyone who knows me outside of the internet will tell you I've never been afraid to tell people how I feel, Alas my girlfriend saw fault in that. Long story short, she dumps me for telling off her best friend for wanting to get intimate with me.

I agreed not to mention it to my girlfriend to save their friendship, but as a safeguard she goes to my girlfriend to flip the story around on me.

I get mad and tell my girlfriend how I really feel about her believing the "best" friend and she dumps me.

But the ex is my best friend a year later and I come to her house once every couple of weeks to hang out.
