Is it important to have a girlfriend/boyfriend? Think of your situation now, as a teenager, in high school, working on learning English as well as learning other subjects.

- I have been a language teacher (ESL/ELL, French) for 30 years. I have taught in public and private schools, immersion programs, refugee programs, adult/continuing education, elementary, middle, and high school as well as university. Currently I teach ELL at a high school somewhere in New England.
I think it is unimportant to have a girlfriend or boyfriend. As a teenager，goal is study hard.Maybe have some person want to looking for a girlfriend or boyfriend.I think we should learn at this age.It’s no problem to be a regular friend with girls at this age.My parent think as a student，the student should study hard.I think looking for a girlfriend or boy friend can influence study.In my summary，this is my point of view.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is important to have a boyfriend. As a teenager, I think we need focus on our study and try our best to learn more and more new things. I think the best time to have a personal relationship is in the college, because at that time, I am adult and I can have enough time to keep a personal relationship. I seldom talk with my parents about this things, but my parents tell me they will always support my decision .
ReplyDeleteI think it is unimportant to have a boy/girlfriend in high school. We need to pay more attention to our study, not just fall in love with a person that you might not get married to in the future. Although we sometimes have strong thrills to someone , we shouldn’t easily make boy/girlfriend with him/her. That will just make our goal lower. If you meet a bad person , the worst situation like rape or something that are all we cannot avoid . And in order to get a good college offer，take a better education, we should not make any boy or girlfirend in high school.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very important to have a girlfriend now. Talking about a girlfriend is about patience and a lot of things in life. My parents allow me to fall in love. A girlfriend can teach you a lot of knowledge, and you can learn how to take care of your girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteThis is very important. My girlfriend is the driving force for me to do anything. Now I have a girlfriend who is one year older than me. He is the driving force for me to keep learning abroad. All this will not affect my studies. My parents also support my choice and will not interfere with my feelings.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion a boyfriend it’s not a priority at least in this point of my life but I am open about it, my priority in this moment is my education and my family, I think focusing in a relationship could change my priorities
ReplyDeleteI also think I am not prepared for a relationship now.
Everyone will want to have love when they reach puberty, but I think this is not appropriate. Learning needs to be focused, and love is also, so some cannot coexist. I do not recommend finding a boy or girlfriend in high school
ReplyDeletefrom Pablo:
ReplyDeleteHaving a girlfriend can be very good, you probably have a lot of good things like someone is always taking care of you, you don’t get bored, you do a lot of things with the person you love but depends of your age can be dangerous because is fine that you spend time with her but your priorities are going to be studies for your future so be careful and about my parents, they are always agree but they remain me a lot that I need to have good grades
I think we can have a boyfriend. It is normal to fall in love at school. But learning is more important than it. It will decide our future. So, if we want to have a boyfriend, we must study well. To be honest, I want to have a boyfriend, I really want to have a boy who really cares about me. And I do not have a boyfriend before. My parents do not let me to have a boyfriend now, they want me to have a boyfriend in college.
ReplyDeleteBut I don’t think I will must meet a boy I like in college.
Having a girlfriend or boyfriend is important for young people too as much to adults because they are together best friends and in relationships. You can spent time together and bored times doesn’t come. I think I would be ok to be in relationship as same time when studying English or other subjects. My parents wouldn’t care much but if it’s taking time over school it would be too much.
ReplyDeleteI think having a boyfriend/girlfriend is important for yang people. Because there is so much we can learn from each other. And it is important to learn the relationships between men and women when you are young. It's best to be a student when dating a variety of people and gaining romantic experiences. It is very important to meet and get to know different people. It will be a personal connection later, and that part will be a big difference when you grow up, even in areas other than romance. Once you have grown up, you should be able to see how useful it is to find the real best partner.

Ans：
First of all, I think it is important to have a man and woman friend, because in the future, your wife or husband will gradually develop from a man and woman friend to marriage. But at the same time at our current age, I don't think we should have a relationship with men and women. After all, the first-line task is not to fall in love. We are a high school student who has not yet begun college, and it is not necessary to make a man Girlfriend, and we are still relatively young. I do n’t have certain conditions to fall in love. Maybe in the future, I can have a stable job and stable money before I can fall in love. After all, I have to be responsible for the other person. Friends of the opposite sex, but keep the relationship with friends. My parents also said the same thing. When you have a stable financial situation, go to find a girlfriend, because then you can rest in love with peace of mind, in the case that you do not have certain financial conditions, you can not be responsible for others The money used is also used by parents, so it is not useful, so maybe my parents did not support me to have a girlfriend before my university.
Firstly, is always important to have a man/woman in your life, you enjoy it, you have good times, you have to be clever and know how to manage your time between the girlfriend, the family, the friends and studies, it is very easy there is always time. My parents don’t care if I have one they understand and they help me
ReplyDeleteIN my Opinion having a boyfriend or girlfriend is OK it doesn't matter. I believe that love is not how we think. You don't now when and where your going to fall in love so no body can controller it but my parents doesn't what me to have a boyfriend friend right now and I don't know what going to be in the future or tomorrow I don't know when and where am going to fall in love with and also am open about it .Having it makes you feel happy . Having a person how care about you every time and every day that is so good and I want to experience. And for those how have girlfriend or boyfriend have a nice valentines day .💖
ReplyDeleteI think having a boyfriend or girlfriend is okay and it is pretty important. We can learn the relationship between man and woman which can’t be learned by between just friends. And falling in love is natural and even if we are teenagers. However, if that relationship affects you very much so that you have bad grades and all of your life is your boyfriend or girlfriends, that will be a problem. My parents don’t care about my boyfriend if these problems don’t happen. So we have to keep a balance between the relationship and our normal life.
ReplyDeleteHaving a girlfriend/boyfriend is important to some and not to others. They have different values and want different things. Therefore, it is impossible to reach a conclusion. However, it certainly takes more time and effort for a high school students who have a girlfriend/boyfriend because they have to study. Now I don't have a boyfriend, so it doesn't matter, but if I have someone I really like, the relationship is going to be really important. Also, my parents respect my choice.
ReplyDeleteI think it is important to have a boyfriend or girlfriend in your teens. I think all relationships should not be age restricted. This is because the relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriend is also a relationship between a person and a person. Another reason is experience. I think all the experience I have in my teens is important. All of our experiences when we are young people are very helpful when we go to society as adults. Teens who have had a relationship with their boyfriend or girlfriend can be helpful when they are dating as adults. But not all teenagers are asked to have a relationship with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Friends who have had a boyfriend or girlfriend in their youth years will be helpful when they are grown up in their own way. Friends who do not have a boyfriend or girlfriend in their youth will have their own best relationship. Therefore, adults should not compel or prevent adolescents' relationships with their boyfriend or girlfriend. In addition, friends with boyfriends or girlfriends may be able to develop themselves or study harder in order to be visible to their lovers. Also, sharing experiences with your boyfriend or girlfriend in your teens will definitely be a memory of your teens!
ReplyDeleteI think having a boyfriend/girlfriend is important. Because people who have a boyfriend/girlfriend can make good or fun memories( for a example Valentin day, etc) more than people who don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend. And having a boyfriend/girlfriend is can be good experience. My parents they aren’t really care about having a boyfriend/girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, having a boyfriend or girlfriend is important because teenagers can make a special experience with their boy/girlfriend and they can learn how to maintain a relationship. However, it can be serious problem if this relationship brings bad effect to teenager's studies. Thus, my parents don't care about it if I control the importance between relationship and schoolwork well.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, it’s not necessary to have a girlfriend or boyfriend, but having a girlfriend has some benefits. The reason why I think it is necessary is that I think it wastes time, because we need to spend more time on our studying rather than on our girlfriends or boyfriends, although we can learn a lot from our girlfriends or boyfriends.
ReplyDeleteI have already been in the two sides of the coin (with and without a relationship) so you can say that I have experience in that. It is not important to have a girlfriend or boyfriend because love does not exist, is a lie invented by your parents. You can have a boyfriend or girlfriend but you have to know when the time is right and being a teenager can be good.

Have a girlfriend it is normal it is a good thing . You can spent time together and have good moments but the worst situation like rape or something that are all we cannot. It's best to be a student when dating a variety of people and gaining romantic experiences. It is very important to meet and get to know different people. Once you have grown up, you should be able to see how useful it is to find the real best partner. My parents don’t care if I have one they understand and they help me.
ReplyDeleteI think finding a boyfriend or girlfriend is more important for young people. The focus is not on the outcome. At least you have experienced the process. My parents have always been conservative, so when they met they were older, so I think young people should at least understand what it is like to be in love.
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend is not important, learning in high school is the most important, and if a girlfriend, four years of high school to college if a university is good, not a university have to be separated, and special delay learning, now in high school, wait until adulthood and then want to these, in what is now the life is more important than the friends is the relationship between my parents and my good friends, they are a lot of higher than friends, my parents want to wait me to twenty years old and then find a girlfriend, or wait for economic independence
ReplyDeleteI’m my opinion, have girlfriend, boyfriend or don’t have isn’t important. You mind have a lot of fun and motion when you have them. But love effect also effect a lot in your live your study. I think we should take more time in your education than love. Education important to your future
ReplyDeleteI do n’t think I need a girlfriend yet. My main goal now is to learn rather than to come to my girlfriend. And I think that my girlfriend will waste a lot of time, so I do n’t think I need a girlfriend
ReplyDeleteI do n’t think it ’s important to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but we should focus more on studying now. My parents do n’t think I have a girlfriend is a bad thing. They often ask me if I like a girl
ReplyDeleteMy point of view is that it is not important to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. We are only teenagers now. It is time for us to learn not only English but also other subjects. Having a boyfriend or girlfriend will delay learning.
ReplyDeleteI think it doesn’t matter if someone have boyfriends or girlfriends. If we have they can teach some of good knowledge. So having a boyfriend or girlfriend will be good.
ReplyDeleteMy parents really don’t stop me to have. But if I have they just say spend more time to study than that time together
I think having girl friend is not important but if u have girl friend there is a lot of good thing. When you have girl friend, you will get help from your girl friend but when you spend too much time with your girl friend its not good for your study.
ReplyDeleteI think have a boyfriend or a girlfriend isn’t bad if the person love you and make you ab better person is fine
ReplyDeleteProbably it’s better have someone to be with you and my parents they let me have girlfriend but if the person is not god for me they told me because they want the best for me

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion having a relationship is somehow important but not vitally needed. In my experience in relationships, they bring you a lot of happiness in many ways. But they also come with some negative consequences, you Invest a lot of time on making the other person happy instead of using time in your own self grown or project you have. Also relationship don’t last forever, or at least they don’t in this stage or our life’s so when it ends or is not going that well you feel like your whole world is falling apart and that can have some negative consequences in the long run.
ReplyDeletefrom Isauro:
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion having a girlfriend is important or it can’t be important, it depends if the person really wants it or not . For me a relationship is a good thing and it’s kind of important because you can spend time with her. My parents wouldn’t care if I have one and I think it’s a good thing.
from Carlos:
ReplyDeleteI think is kinda important to have a girlfriend you would learn a lot of inglish talking with her and probably words and expressions you have never heard before and your inglish is going to fluid a lot and probably you would go to places here that you have never went. I think my parents would let me have a girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI think having a girlfriend is important for yang people. Because there is so much we can learn from each other. But they also come with some negative consequences, you Invest a lot of time on making the other person happy instead of using time in your academic life.
