High Schoolers according to Urban dictionary are, “Students or people who are in their third metamorphosis stage, and rely on an intricate symbiotic relationship with one another involving homework and tests to survive high school.” Although this may be a joke you will find that there are real issues here. High schoolers are still growing physically, mentally, and emotionally. We are overcoming so many different obstacles every day. 
“About 95 percent of high school relationships fail.” In high school you find that a lot of students are still trying to find themselves. Though it may be hard to not fall in love and form genuine connections, know that they might not last or be beneficial to your future. Students go through lots of different stages when forming these relationships. Some may deal with rumors or find they might not have the same interest. Others may use their relationships to have a certain look or for attention. Overall finding these relationships may fail or have come to an end  it tends to take a huge toll on our mental health.
Growing up, they find that when they fall in love or build a new bond they want to make it last as long as they can and “Although building and sustaining strong relationships to ones closest to them is essential, discarding and leaving toxic relationships behind is just as important”. While building and being in these relationships they may find themselves Stressed,depressed and maybe feeling a little bit insecure. Although in the days of social media everything looks so easy or picture perfect and having certain connections or relationships has been made a standard now it's ok to leave or be alone. Building self confidence and  chasing your dreams is most important at this age.
