Attention to all: Dating in high school has officially died. There are officially more seniors that say they never date then say that they date frequently. This doesn't mean that everyone is having more sex. According to the Center for Disease Control, the number of teens having sex or sex with strangers is on the down.
Now, our culture has changed from dating as the social norm, to having hooking up as the new trend. I completely understand where this is coming from too. I think that we all have experienced that relationship, where you find a physical connection first, then worry about the emotional thing. It's easier. You don't have the pressures of the gossip, school, or emotional connection.
I know that it's not the way you want to live your life... blah, blah, blah. But for high school, its easier to worry about an emotional connection later. I mean we have to face it, teenage guys and girls have to very different ideas of what a perfect relationship should be. I think that by people not dating in high school, it almost fixes that differences. It causes both parties to meet someone in the middle. The guys don't have to worry about every last detail, but the girl also tends to be less stiff, if she is on a informal date.
Personally, I think it is the way to go. But then again, that's just me.
