Everyone, at some point in their lives, has probably been in a relationship that is just not meaningful. Maybe they stay in the relationship because  you think you like that person or perhaps you just need someone to fill an empty space in you life.
Whatever the reason, many students believe that being able to be in a relationship is so important during their four years in high school, that they will even date someone they do not particularly like.  Some students like to think of this as “Having your cake and eating it too.”
For example, some guys only date a certain type of girl that they think is basically going to be  an easy score.  They think they can simply take her out on a few cheap dates and then reap the rewards. Likewise, some girls would use certain situations to their own advantage such as going out with another  hot guy just to make their boyfriends jealous.
It all sounds like very familiar, like the situations one might find on a reality T.V. show, but is it really like that?  Or do all teenagers really feel this way about relationships?  Interviews with some here at EHS contradicted what many people think about teenage relationships and the commitment level of those involved.
The majority of students questioned said that having a long term relationship is not what they were looking for, expecially during high school years because they felt it was too socially constricting.  They said they believed that being in a long time relationship would not allow them to be able to have the freedom to meet new people and do lots of new activities they might not be able to do if they were tied down to one significant other.
Most importantly, most students denied that they would ever consider forming relationships on the shallow basis of looks or a physical attraction.  They stressed that they were looking for a solid friendship that did not involve long-term commitments.
