16 Abr Some find this fulfillment within a friendship or romantic relationship

In middle school, students often have an unspoken longing to be valued and wanted. But in the end, should students look for romance at such a young age?

Students might look for a relationship because they want someone to provide them with ongoing affection and attention. Yet when students are still in their early teen years, they might jump into something that they are not ready for, leading to regretful outcomes.

“The lope of our brain that makes rational decisions isn't fully developed until we're 25-years old,” said 8th-grade teacher, Mrs. Schemenauer. “I think an adult romantic relationship is two people that understand more what they value and what they believe, so they make better choices.”
