High School Dating Culture

 

JANET YU Opinions Editor

It’s cuffing season, the season where teenagers get together for the holidays and for dances. In other words, single awareness season. I dread walking down the halls everyday and seeing couples every time I walk to class. Whether it is by the water fountains or by the lockers, there seems to be no end to couples. I don’t get it. I don’t see the point in teenagers dating in high school when they can be focused on other things. I don’t see the point in people posting on social media about their “boo thang.” I don’t get the point in making out in front of the stairs and causing traffic. It’s only inconvenient for everyone. There’s literally no point in dating in high school. It’s not like most couples will even see each other again after they graduate. Even if they do see each other, the chances of them staying together are very slim. They are literally wasting their precious time that can be spent on school work. To make things worse, couples on social media just make others without a significant other feel lonely. Say no to dating in high school.
