This house would ban boy-girl relationships in secondary school?
NAH!!! this is not a EMO post.. i HATE EMO POST..!! (oh just for your info pleasure, i sucked at doing poems :P, i ain't a literature student, but a geography one.
i decided to do a argumentative essay as my REVISION for tomorrow's English Paper 1 EXAM!! :D (i'll try to be as FORMAL as possible, oops.. i can never hold a candle to zhu xiao jie :P)
"Love is hard to come by", says some novelist. This quote, however, is backfiring at the wrong place, which is the school. Many students, especially in the secondary school age, fall in love easily due to their hormones change. For me, I would oppose boys in girls in school having relationships for three reasons.
Firstly, having relationships means lesser time for schoolwork. Just think; every person has twenty-four hours a day. Of which, eight hours are used to sleep, three hours to eat, seven hours of school for students, which excludes three hours for Co-curricular activities. That itself left each students with three hours of time everyday! If students were to spend their time in relationships, they probably will not have the time to revise or even just do their homework. Which would in turn sabotage their results. No students will like bad results, right?
Next, relationships during teenage in school will mean higher expense incurred. Students do not want to 'lose face' in front of their partner, and will not mind spending more amount on things just to impress them. An example would be; a boy do not want his girlfriend to despise him. Thus, he brought his girlfriend to a posh restaurant every meal, which costs him twenty dollars in total! That amount just for a meal, is simply outrageous! Some students already had had not enough money for themselves. If they were to spend that amount of money every meal, sooner or later they would start asking their parents for more money, or in the worst scenario, they resort to stealing.
Lastly, relationships during teenage years would mean the dangers of pregnancy. While we are taught many times by the school or parents on sexuality education, and their effects when one gets pregnant, many teenagers are still, by nature, curious. If one of them could not resist the temptation, they would commit the crime of having sex with a girl below eighteen. Worse is, if the female gets pregnant, will the male bear the responsibility? Let's assume that the male really did, it still concerns the parents, don't they? The complication here is, what if the parents object to them marrying, especially when they are still schooling? This would only brought about more complications.
Many people would claim that teenagers, as long as they are responsible enough, regardless of schoolwork or private life, they are allowed to have a love life. These all seems reasonable. Here's my argument; what if their character changes due to having a love partner, or even character changes due to their hormones during puberty? They would still be back to the "irresponsible" teenagers group, don't they?
I would personally object to boy-girl relationships in school due to the above reasons. Having relationships in secondary school not only leaves them with not enough time with schoolwork, but also means more expenses for them. There are also many other factors to be considered, such as their level of concentration in class. Which is more important for teenagers, their school results, or their life-long partners?
