Oh my gosh

I have decided, based on recent events in my life:

1. Relationships in highschool are highly overrated
2. Relationships in highschool affect not only you and your bf/gf the GREATLY affect your friends
3. Relationships in highschool are going to end (for me, within the year)
4. Relationships in highschool are bad when both people are insecure and become dependent on the other for meaning/reason in their life
5. Breakups in highschool GREATLY affect the group of people that you hang out with
6. Relationships in highschool, are in my humble opinion, fairly pointless

Go back and realize how much you dating/breakup with someone from your group of friends can have crazy weird effects and create strange dynamics within the group you run around with. It is not all about you. (though an unhealthy relationship should, regardless of your friends, be broken off.)

Affectionately Yours,
Sara

I dont think they are pointless, perhaps they are pointless for some people but not as a whole, thats quite the step to take.

I agree that relationships can affect friends too, especially if you both came from the same group of friends and i have seen this first had with mine and Ryan's relationship...but i don't think high school relationships are pointless (and i am not just saying this because i am in a relationship) I say it because you can learn so much about yourself through those relationships...good or bad..and you can learn so much about those friends that are affected.
Yes i will say that having pretty much my first relationship with someone be so great does give me a little bias towards thinking high school relationships are not pointless but i also know that i have grown a ton through it.

But i am kinda guessing that you have had some friends break up and it has caused some problems in your group so i can understand the post.
