1/3

There is a common misconception that relationships (at any level) should be easy and if

it is hard then the couple should break it off to find a relationship that is more convenient

for them. Not only is this incredibly false but a dangerous idea to spread. Love = Work.

Love also = the best feeling in the world. Love is a real uirky beast. What would happen

if work were to be removed from the Love euation! then the relationship would stagnate

and each partner would (over time) loose a feeling of purpose.

"igh #chool relationships are $ust about as uirky (if not more). %eing underage usually

accompanies destructive parental interference. #uch interference usually occurs when

parents are not properly educated about relationships (or do not want to be properly

educated). This causes much static in many peoples relationships. "owever! if this is

gotten through! then it&s smooth sailing (at least until college).

"ow do you make a high school relationship last into college' Well! the opposite of the

belief of Love should not eual much work. f there is true love guiding the relationship

then true love should also guide you to the difficult fact that it will be...well...difficult. *ou

must understand that there may be a time crunch put on your relationship that may have

not been there before. (+ person typically spends , hrs outside of class- studying! doing

lab work! reading! etc.) The key to minimiing the impact of this is proper time

management. f that is not applicable! then keep reading.

f there is a distance separation (one in which there is large amounts of time! whatever

you personally consider large! where you two are apart from each other) then it will be

tough. t very may well be the most difficult e/perience you have had! yet! in life. f it is

true love! then stick with it. *ou will be thanking yourself for securing everlasting love

(something that is dying fast in +merica) and showing your partner that your in for the

long haul.

+lso! you must consider the e/periences that occur in college- drinking! parties! clubs!

org&s! college $obs! new freinds0crowds! etc. f this makes you feel uncomfortable then

discuss your fears with your partner. *ou %1T" are in the relationship you shouldn&t

have to deal with everything. 2ompromise.

+long with that compromise idea! college choice should vary directly with your

relationship. 3any people will either gasp at that past sentence or roll their eyes or

e/claim What an idiot4. t is a sad fact that not many people are ready to make big

sacrifices for their relationship (hence the high divorce rate in +merica). 5ust because

you do not attend vy league does not mean you will not be successful in life. n fact!

more and more studies are showing prior pre6employed e/perience is outranking what

degree and where one got said degree. 2onsider this! you want to be in the realtionship

far longer than the 7 or 8 years you&ll spend in college. Why give up a lifetime for 7 or 8

or even 9 years. *ou can get a uality education at a lesser prestigious school as a

prestigious one. :lan so that you both can see each other regularly. This will make thetransition a L1T more smooth. +lso! you may be able to get an apartment together and

split all the costs (that&s using those division smarts- cost of living07 = savings. Living

together = savings ; #omeone you love to come home to after a long! hard! terrible day

at work0school. t helps all the way around). +gain! do not be bullied into submission.

Trash eorge 2arlin). 1bsessive! creepy! unhealthy!and other such words may fly in your direction. >N1? T"?3. t&s you and your

partners relationship! N1T T"?#. f they do not have the integrity to make sacrifices

for their relationship! then that $ust shows their lack of knowledge of real loving

relationships.

43:1T+NT4 gnore statistics that show that high school relationships rarely last past

high school. t&s the e/istence and access of those statistics that keep high school

relationships lasting. The second you start to buy6in to those stats is the same second

you place yourself in the line for relationship failure. +gain! T N1T T"??L+T1N#": to tell you what will0wont happen between you and your partner. +>+N!

>N1? #T+T#T2#. 9@A of statistics are made up on the spot ($ust like this one) -6)

would say the most important skill to learn and master is patience. >et yourself some

hobbies if the time you both have to spend is crunched down to a seemingly impossible

amount. Bo not give up! if in your heart you feel that you would be worse off without your

loved one. Those college years 3+* be the most difficult! however! it may not be.

3ost of all! $ust love. t sustained you and empowered you throughout high school. Bon&t

let that fire die $ust because you got a piece of paper saying you went through C7 years

of school. *ou are still you and your partner is still your partner. Deep working at it! you

will have to work forever to keep your relationship alive with passion- to keep the love

stirred up and fresh. %ut! remember! time flies (and work seems like nothing) when your

having fun.
