Another reason I think relationships are stupid is because people get so worked up over them. Relationships take up so much time.
You have to text your boyfriend and talk to them on the phone, losing homework time and sleep. Also you have to look cute all the time, not like a hobo.
Honestly, boyfriends are a huge pain and I rather focus on doing well in school and sports than a boyfriend. Last year, I was infatuated with the idea of a boyfriend, but then I grew up.
I realized that there is more to life then dating the boy on the football team, to quote Taylor Swift. I was a naive, teenage girl. However, after getting my heart broken for the first time, things changed. It was a huge reality check. One that I am incredibly thankful for.
Having a broken heart taught me so much. I learned what really mattered: High school is supposed to be fun. So make good choices and focus on what matters.
Stop worrying about whether or not you have a love life and just enjoy the next couple of years. What will matter is what you learned and how you used it to build a successful life.

So, as I headed into highschool, I had completely different mindset than the other kids in my grade. While all my friends wanted to do is hook up with boys, I wanted to put all of my attention into building up my resume. But whether this means volunteer work or having my writing pieces published, I know that developing contacts now will give me great connections and opportunities moving forward.
All of these extracurricular activities come from my complete focus to go to my dream university. However, 9 out of 10 times I try to explain this to someone, they immediately tell me to stop overthinking my future.

How could I possibly know what I want as only a freshman in highschool? I am absolutely, positively sure of what I want to do and where I want to go, even if that is the only thing in this world of which I am completely sure.

My peers have been going to parties on weekends, and most of them have already been in -- or currently are in -- a relationship. One goal I set for myself before going into highschool was to stray away from boys.

My family and friends are also a huge part of my life, and I spend all of my other free time with them.
This means I am constantly balancing my school work, extracurricular work, and time with family and friends; how would I ever balance dating into that is well?
