High school relationships

This might sound a bit sappy, but I've been dating my current boyfriend since freshman year. Now, we're both juniors and I've been hearing a lot of chatter about high school relationships not lasting. I'm curious, when do most high school relationships typically end?

It's understandable why you're asking this question, as the transition after high school is often a significant pivot point in many people's lives. Generally speaking, it's common for high school relationships to shift or end around the time of high school graduation or shortly thereafter.

The reasons for this can vary widely, but often involve changes such as going to different colleges, migrating to disparate geographical locations, or simply wanting to explore new opportunities or experiences independently. It's a time when people are discovering themselves and their interests, which can sometimes lead to growing apart depending on the circumstances.

However, it's important to remember that while this tends to be a common trend, it doesn't apply to all high school relationships! Some partners do navigate these transitions successfully and maintain a strong bond despite new challenges and experiences. Your relationship's success depends on how you and your partner handle changes and agree to work through them together.

In any case, focusing on enjoying your high school years and creating meaningful memories should be your priority. Let the future unfold as it is supposed to, keeping lines of communication open with your partner.
