Obsessed much?

A big part of high school, believe it or not, has to deal with the relationships that people have with their friends and other people. In today’s society, it’s not uncommon for males and females to start dating at a younger age. The imaginary bar for the appropriate age to date gets lower and lower as the years go by. Although some parents or guardians still keep it at a certain age that they feel is appropriate, it seems as though many people feel that the earlier they start dating, the better.
It’s doesn’t, by any means, imply that teenagers today don’t have any clue about dating. But what can be proven through fact, is that teenagers are significantly less mature than most adults, obviously. But what is also true, is that teenagers take most things more seriously than they should be, mostly girls.
One common thing to see when roaming through any high school hall way are all of the couples and boys and girls kissing; all of that great stuff. If someone has a boyfriend or girlfriend, it makes everything seem better. If they don’t, it makes everything seem like it could be something better. In high school, dating is a big deal, especially to the girls.
The people who are in relationships, good for them. For the ones that aren’t, oh well. Most, not ALL, teenage girls take having or being in a relationship way too seriously.
For one, girls over think everything. This could end up not being such a big deal, or this could possibly go really bad. Either way, girl’s thoughts are slightly twisted from what the guy is really thinking. For two, girls are completely over dramatic. And like it’s been said before, what her boyfriend said and how she puts it, may very possibly be two different things.
Besides sometimes taking things too seriously and being over dramatic, there’s another problem. Plain and simple, there are just some females that are way too into their boyfriends. Yes, that person is just so darn chipper because they are in a relationship, but there’s no need for them to get so carried away and so “tangled up” in their relationship. Come on, ladies. It’s annoying. Not only to everyone around them, but it’s probably annoying to their boyfriend, as well. (If it doesn’t annoy them now, chances are that it will soon.)
Another good point is that there is not one person that actually wants to see a couple make out and be all over each other. Just because she loves him so much and he loves her too, doesn’t make it okay to show off PDA. Don’t they practice enough at home? Apparently not. Also, no one wants to hear a girl constantly talk about her boyfriend. Do they really not know anything else? At all?
All in all, relationships aren’t something to take lightly, but they are also not something to take too seriously. Ladies, believe it or not, there will be other boyfriends. If a person makes someone their everything, they could eventually end up with nothing in the end.
