...Have you ever wondered what type of obstacles teenagers go through to maintain relationships throughout their high school years? Some relationships last for only a few weeks, months or maybe even all of their high school years. From verbal, emotional, and physical abuse to positive and even negative peer pressure they put up with a lot. Teenage relationships play a big role in developing the capacity for long-term, committed relationships in their adulthood.

My fellow class mate Gina stated, “Arguing with my partner during the day causes me to have an attitude at school and may cause me to focus less on my school work.” This causes grades to fall and they may get sidetracked of what really matters because they’re worried about an argument that happened with a peer. School sports also have an effect on teen relationships. My other fellow classmate Monica says, “sports put a damper on my relationship at times because volleyball and football season were at the same time and we barely had time to communicate with each other cause of games, practice and also school work. “But they -found a way to work around it by sitting together at lunch since...
