In high school, we believe that relationships are essential. We have to be involved with someone to be considered a “typical teenage girl,” or even a “typical high school girl.” We need to find someone who will fill a temporary void in our stressful lives. It's not true, it's not true at all. Do you know this story, Cinderella? A girl was living a good life until her mother died, forcing her father to remarry a wicked woman. When the father dies, the evil stepmother controls Cinderella to do what she wants. Then there are evil stepsisters, cars and animals. We can't forget the fairy godmother either. Then there's something about a glass slipper falling under a balloon and boom. Happily ever after with a prince you barely knew, but who sweeps you off your feet in one night. This seems very practical to me. Think about all the movies you've watched over the past two years. Half of them are about a guy and a girl who meet randomly and then fall in love over a short period of time. Another Cinderella story, a Cinderella story, and a Cinderella story, all from the same story. Yet half of us girls haven't seen the original in ten years. It came out in 1950, so longer than that. Guys also have the same problem. In The Little Mermaid, what does the prince look like? He is a young, handsome, loving man who is looking for someone to marry. In Beauty and the Beast, the Beast is a strong and heavy-minded person who will do anything to get rid of Belle. What does this tell them? I feel like it shows them that you have to take careful steps to get what you want. Even recently, Wreck-It Ralph or Toy Story, they have strong male protagonists as well as... middle of paper ....... They didn't become an official couple until after graduation. My father went to college and my mother went to work. They lasted because they were willing to face whatever came their way together. High school teenagers are no longer willing to catch another when they fall. We are the ones who pushed them. So if you asked me today if I thought high school relationships were a good idea, I would say no. Why put yourself in a situation you won't be able to handle? Why make a fool of yourself after a breakup? Why impose yourself on it? I guess it might be because I never experienced a typical relationship in high school, but I guarantee none of them will work. If you're looking to find your Troy Bolton in the corn and blue halls of St. Joseph, that's not going to happen. Just wait until you're in college, or better yet, wait until you can handle it all.
