Relationships take time and effort out of students’ already-busy schedules. In addition to homework, extracurriculars, and hangouts with friends, I was always texting, snapping, DM’ing, or calling the people I’ve dated, meeting up with them, thinking about them in class, staying up late to talk to them. High school relationships can last, but they’re not always common. According to CDC study, relationships starting at a younger age have higher breakup rates, but some high school sweethearts stay together long-term. The maturity level and goals of the individuals often help determine the relationship’s success. So have hope for your high school relationship to last.
