Do you really think that having a relationship during high school or college will affect your grades or studies?

Well, everyone has their own opinions on how relationship affect you're studies... scientifically speaking, studies should come first if you are looking for a successful future, but being in a relationship at a young in yet muture age will help you in the long run as well, as do to experience.. so it deppends on your life style..

Hello nilouette. It depends. If you dont know how to balance your relationship with your partner and your studies, then it will surely affect your grades. That is why a lot parents say that you shouldnt have a boyfriend when you are in school for it may affect your grades.

That depends really on you and how you prioritize things. If you let your time be invested more in your boyfriend than concentrate in your studies, then it will definitely affect your grades.
It is also depends on your partner on how he/she will accept his/her place in your priority list.
So, this takes a lot of MATURITY in handling both studies and being in a relationship.
Take care.

I think being in a relationship demands a lot of time and attention. So it does distract you from studies. It does affect your grades and also since highschool students aren't extremely mature enough to handle things that might creep up in a relationship, it takes a toll on them and the stress level increases. So I would have to say yes, definitely. Have a nice day!

Personally i would say that this time frame (high school to college) is not the right time for boyfriend or girlfriend. You are a student, and your goal is to finish what you are studying and this will please also your parents because your concentration will be best to focus first on studies.
If you are considering a relationship, it will come once you Graduated and is ready. First you must develop your relationship with God first and second to your parents.
It will be best to stick to study first when at this early age. When you are already working and is already stable, that is the time to consider a relationship but pray to God about it.

it depends on the person. but somehow i think yes, because your focus is not just your studies. your relationship can interfere with your studies if you let it. my first heartbreak was when i was in college but i did not let it affect my studies. i did my best in my studies more. i spent more time with friends and socializing. some people who go through heartbreaks fail in exams, drink, smoke, etc. but not me

During in my college days, there were times that my grades was affected especially if two of us had an argument. Luckily, it did not affect that bad...lol. Sometimes, it depends to the person if she/he would let her relationship interfere her studies for him/her to have a low grades, and ended having a failing grades. You should be responsible to your relationship with your other behalf and your studies.

if u are a serious student,
and the person u are dating really loves and cares for u,
it wont affect ur studdies.
instead, it will boost it.
i'm a student, and i'm into a relationship.
he encourages me to read, and even reads my books and explains to me.
though he works, he comes to study with me during my exams.
