Rules For Dating In High School

Dating in high school can be pretty rough sometimes. Everyone loves to hear about your problems and there's always that one guy or gal that loves to get in the middle of the relationship. I've learned that there's a correct and classy way to go about dating in high school.

1. Cheating is never the way to go.

The worst possible thing you could do is cheat. If you're not happy with the person you're with, then just end things. I promise you that'll it hurt a lot less instead of going behind their back and doing things you know you shouldn't. If you have to hide it from your boyfriend/girlfriend, there's a good chance you shouldn't be doing it.

2. Your business needs to stay YOUR business.

Telling everyone your problems is not a great idea. I've done this before and I can say that it's not what you should do. People love to talk and there's a good chance that a nasty rumor will start. In the end, telling other people your business will only make things worse, not better.

3. Posting depressing statuses isn't very cute either.

If you have to rant to someone, rant to your mom or dad...not social media. Your parents typically have good advice and can help make you feel better about the whole thing. However, if you post your problems on the Internet, you will just attract nosy people, not people who actually care about you.

4. Handle people who love to get in the middle of the relationship.

At some point in every relationship there's going to be someone who try's to get between the two lovebirds. You just have to turn the other cheek and try your hardest to ignore them. Yes, it can be so hard but it's very possible. Usually if you ignore them, they'll give up and go away. So pretending they don't exist is usually your best bet.

5. PDA is not goals.

It's actually pretty annoying. In the hallway between classes is not the time to shove your tongues down each others' throats. You're usually blocking the hallway and grossing everyone out. Stop hanging all over each other. If you really have to be affectionate, holding hands and a peck on the cheek is always a sweet and small gesture.

6. Don't focus so much on the future.

All the talk about forever and getting married can get tiring and it just puts a lot of pressure on the couple. Instead, learn to be happy and have fun together. You're both still young, so enjoy it and live in the present.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
