When Does your Boyfriend Take Priority Over School?

    One's boyfriend takes priority over school, never. You can be happy in a relationship and make honor roll in school, but I'm the only who sees it this way. Everyone has a different situation, but the results never seem to be great. One girl can have a 6 month relationship, everything seems great to her, right? In reality, she pays for every date, one pregnancy scare and he disappears, phone conversations become dry, and your failing classes. Not failing because your heartbroken, failing because you forgot what was important.  I've seen this happen so many times. Why must teenagers fall in every stereotype, then wonder why they lose friends, reputations, and self-confidence. School isn't going to go away just because your boyfriend dumped you. Neither is a job, or life. The world isn't going to stop moving on because you stuck, I read all about it. The way I see it, boyfriends are like friends. They come and go, but a degree is there to stay. Nothing is wrong with being in a relationship, just don't disillusion yourself. As teens we are bound to make mistakes, fall hard, love harder, and live are lives. I'm speaking, right now, about a reoccurring issue and it needs to be solved. Girls aren't the only ones who become blind, boys do as well. Some of you can think of some poor guy who has a job, a car, and is always broke because his paycheck get spent on his girlfriend. This would be considered a good guy, because he like to spoil his girl. All I have to say is there is a difference between generosity and stupidity. On the other hand, there are people who don't care how much they lose because they are happy in a relationship. Anyone who agrees is entitles to their opinion. 

     To show an example of this kind of relationship. An Albanian-American woman, Drita D'vanzo, fell in love with an Italian-American man, Lee. In this process she lost her family, but built a new one and is doing well. Relationships come naturally with sacrifice, but teenager shouldn't be making these types of sacrifices. We are too young.  School is important, some are going to agree others aren't, that's life. At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide how you spend the rest of your life, ans how you are going to deal with all of your regrets.
