    School and relationships...

    Do you think it is a bad idea to begin a relationship in year 11/ 12 when it is such a crucial time for study? Having to constantly talk to your significant other etc etc? Or should one just wait for uni to start searching seeing as you have made it into uni ?

    In my opinion, i'd just wait to uni seeing as high school relationships are a joke.

    I know a few high school relationships which have kept going nicely at uni.

    And a few which have kinda died.

    Why put it off. The same reasons against it for HSC can be applied to uni. Do what makes you happy.

    But what if you don't make it into uni and end up taking a course you really didn't want in the first place? Life ruined. Aspirations lost.

    You don't know what 'life ruined' is until you've been to poorer countries.

    And what if you do really badly at uni and keep failing so you have to drop out and end up giving $2 blowjobs on a Kingcross corner while your boyfriend Blade is slinging cocaine to Taiwanese transsexuals.

    Ok ok, maybe I exaggerated a little. It's just that you know that dream job that we all envisage? What if that crumbles due to one relationship which u had to committ so much time to. Time that could have well been spent going for the gold.

    Well let's say you were to get a 95+ ATAR as a result of spending all your time studying or just purely winging it whateves, point is you are not likely to fail at uni -_-
    I know there is a possibility but really, c'mon..

    It could be a benefit though.

    Helps reduce stress during HSC year having some one there etc.

    Shouldn't really matter. In = Good. Out = Good.

    It is easy to be humble in victory, but so much harder to be gracious in defeat.

    Re: School and relationships...

    tbh i was thinking the same thing not long ago. talk to the person, let them know what your thinking/feeling and go from there.

    but for me i think just wait until the HSC is over. youve got about 4 months of holidays afterwards where you can catch up for all the lost time and if your in year 12 youve got less than four months to go so its not that long to go.

    Re: School and relationships...

    It really depends on the person. I think the most important thing is if you can find a balance. I have a friend who is dating and she seems to balance her relationships and studies really well. My sister, on the other hand, certainly didn't. She was heads over heel and, well, Mum said she had potentials :/ As for me... I know I should stay clear from relationships cause I seem to fall heads over heels as well LOL. I realised this when I have a crush on someone haha. Even not being in a relationship is very distracting for me XD But yea I think if you are able to control(?) yourself and find a balance then go ahead but.. I wouldn't since it's the HSC. HSC only happens once but relationships can occur over and over. I know someone's going to say that you might find "the one" but really.. who knows...
