    No one says they won't last. It's not impossible.

    Just very difficult in most cases.

    Wow, that's amazing lol. My 30ish year old friend (don't ask how I know him) married his first love, so he's never really experienced dating, which I think is amazing.

    Relationships can last out of high school, even both my brothers married chicks they met in high school.

    I think the question is pretty stupid, I don't get it. So if you're in high school, just don't get into any relationships because.. you're in high school. But once you graduate suddenly things change?

    Probably the illusion, or, shall I say - delusion that they will last.

    OP probably had the "omg we will be attending universities in different cities far far away" mindset when making this thread.

    @All the people referring to experience, I hope you don't mean sex because that is immoral before marriage. *nod*

    The way I look at it is, even if the person doesn't realize it. It's a way for them to learn how "real" relationships are, and of course teen love is well, normal I guess >.>

    It all depends on your maturity, morals and goals.

    If you are in it for purely selfish reasons then the more the better. You get fun, 'experience' and no responsibility.

    If you are mature and really looking at long term, as in your future in life and how the relationship will work in it, then it is a trickier question.
    IF both parties are mature, and honestly interested in a the traditional life long mating, then it really doesn't matter when they meet, but the problem lies in finding 2 compatible people like that of high school age. (heck its hard enough to find 2 compatible people that meet that criteria in their 20s and 30s)

    Regardless of who or when or how old, any relationship takes real commitment from both parties. High school relationships tend to be more relationships of convenience than of commitment, and that is where the problems come from.

    When the relationship is no longer convenient, then both parties need to be willing to make the effort to make it work. This requires sacrifice that most high school age are not willing to make.

    My wife was on the opposite side of the continent and in another country most of the time we dated. And we have been married for 6yrs now. She had to make make the sacrifices to move away from her family and her country, and move to another country who's politics she didn't agree with. I had to sell my fun guns(I kept one hunting rifle) and bite my tongue when certain political issues are discussed. (just 2 examples)

    We have a 2yr old son now who is amazing but exhausting, he runs both of us exhausted and things in life are not 'convenient,' it takes commitment on both of our parts to be willing to make things work.

    If only she was willing to commit to success, then we would fail. If only I was willing to commit to success then we would fail. But together we are strong, and have a great life regardless of what happens.

    So if you are in high school, you have to ask yourself what your motivation is.
    If its purely selfish, then do what you want, it doesn't matter anyways. (though you may regret some stupid things when you are older)
    If it is with the intent of true commitment, then you have to be willing to not only commit but understand that you may have your heart crushed because most at that age are not able to commit to that level. (which makes it all the sweeter when it does work)

    Since when did love give way to logic? Truth is, if it's not going to last, it's not worth your time. Of course, they thought it was going to last at the time, but it didn't. So is life.

    Ah... I miss those younger hormone driven days...

    Lol its not just "highschool relationships" that don't last. I know adults in their 40s who act like teenagers when it comes to love. You'll find someone. Maybe.

    If no one else said this, it is so painfully obvious.

    That may be true, but teenagers had better not be "grinding" on anything below the belt!
