Ahemm.. I really dont know if this topic has already been made but if it was please jsut close this thread...
Anyhow.. A lot of controversy has been with this...
1.Would you rather study first then love since that would be the determing factor of your life... If you get a good job you can get a good life thus finding a suitable husband or wife.. Since being in love will only hinder my studies.. So yeah falling in love will have to wait...
2. Love with study since love is also a part of life... You cant learn everything from the four corners of the classroom you would have to experience it yourself.. Being love and be loved is a part of life which ever school child should experience... Since the possiblity of love while studying might give you a motivation since it would inspire you to study some more since you are in love....
Tell me what you guys/gals think about this...

for me it's school first than love .
love won't make uu pass exams . love won't make uu successful . love only hold uu back in studies . school must always comes first when uu are in school . uu need all the education in life . love doesn't make ur future bright . school does . when uu get all the degree or phd or masters uu can work anywhere . but love won't it will hold uu back . but if uu can balance uu can succeed with both by your side .

Dont you think that love would also be a lesson in life... Teaching you what life really is.. Teaching you that life is not all about lessons or about grades and money.. We are in this earth to love and procreate and soon have our offsprings love and be loved in return...
Having a trade off between love and school is the sacrifices you make for what you would get in return. Sure you would not be as rich as bill gates or as strong as most powerful people but hey do you know most of them did not experience true love...
These are the lessons that you would never get inside you classroom but instead you have to learn them by yourselves.. You must try to broaden your horizon and try to know what you have yet to discover...
So yeah for me i rather have love and school put together.. Since life aint as colorful as being in love.. Once you are in love you would know what i mean...

I prefer to have love with school. Love can have a few important lessons and it can give the needed motivation like sham said ;)
Though dont put love before all your studies though you dont wanna be be workless just bc you loved someone at school >_>

I believe that school is important, over love. But if you can balance the two, you should be well off. Also, it's not like you can really choose when to and when to not fall in love, either. =\

Love with school it isn't so hard, you just have to know when to say "sorry I have to study so we cant meet today"
Actually during my school days I spent about 4 years with a girl in one bench and now we are engaged and we plan to get married at may so I'm pretty sure that love can come in pair with school and in school ; p
I'm down with Love with School.
You need school. You need that education. Also, you need people to be with in life, rather it be friends - or loves. Those people help keep you sane during the school period. They play a very important role.
I'm living proof. :p

didn't know you can control "love" so easily =/
As long as you can balance both, you'll be fine.

love can lead to sex.
sex can lead to babies.

Psh. Love is pointless, and I have too much pressure on me to worry about such things.
Getting my driver's license, studying for the SATs that I'm taking next month, doing my Senior Theme and history research paper, all my other classes...getting into college....future planning...getting a job. *sighs* Life sucks enough for me already, I don't need "love" to make things worse.
In short; school now, love never. :whatevah:
{edit}Forgot about financial issues concerning college. *sighs*

I disagree. I think that love teaches you important lessons, and so does school. You can't learn the things that you do from love in school, just like you can't learn the things that you do from school in love. A little of both never hurt anybody.

Funny, isn't it, that when everyone is expected to go to school, love becomes this unimportant thing? Oh, would that I lived in the days of no education, when love would get you a good husband and nice car XD
I think you can have both and in fact need both. School and success mean NOTHING if there's no one to share it with. At the same time, love won't give you food and shelter. But then, it's difficult to get through school without that grounding force of another person. On the other hand, some needy people can be distracting to your schooling.
I think it's all about balance. But love is something I would give up a job for, maybe (if it was for a reasonable thing, not that they just don't like the hours, but like, moving away). Sure, you can take great opportunities and have tonnes of money, but at the end of the day, buying those $500 shoes is no fun if you have no one to take them out on the town with.
I wouldnt mind love right now but now that Im in my final year in high school I think it can wait. Unlike some other people, it just hasnt come to me but maybe when Im out there in uni or working someone might come around XD.

love and school is good... and i'm one of it..... because it is not school everyday... it will be boring without the spice of love.... and when you are inlove while you are at school you got what they call an inspiration that makes you more attentive to go to school

I'm in the school before love camp. I've invested a lot into my educaiton, and I'd like to get where I'm going before I consider settling with someone. I mean, I wouldn't mind a few random dates here and there, but long term relationships take up time that I'd rather put to other uses just now. I did have a relationship in my second year at uni, but it broke off as soon as I went abroad, because there was no way either of us were going to be able to maintain it. Sadly, I don't think I'm one of those people that can balance both things at the same time - at least, not for long, and not without adverse effect.
Still, whatever works best for you, eh? Some people can do it, some can't. I'm pretty happy with the decision I've made. :)

i think it depends on what age you are.. truthfully I dont think anyone starting school could possibly grasp what love is.. (highschool) so therfore they wouldnt exactly know. But people who are further on are more likely to fall in love so therfore grasp the seriousness of the situation. In truth if you gain love.. real love.. Its not something to let go of so lightly, so I go for love with school

I chose love with school. I would have no problem balancing academic activties with social/ love activities and I can handle it. Love is a part of life, and it's good to experience it at an early age, which would be your school life.
People say that love in school is just 'puppy love' and that it can never be real and true. But I disagree with that. That's where the power of true love comes in. And trust me, when it rears its head, it will prevail.
Also, I agree with what you said here sham16. Love teaches a lot in life.

Love after school. Seeing as I went to an all boys school and never really went out on the weekends with my friends I never really met any girls so.. it makes sense really.

I tend to say that in the earlier years of High school it would be just mistaken love.. Because I just dont think that people entering high school would actually be able to grasp the concept without having experienced other circumstances. They get this impression from movies about what love is and tend to make the mistake that replicating those things must mean its love. On the other hand in the later years I think it is quite possible.

That's true as well. But I know people that have been each other's mate since high school though. I guess it works out differently for different people, and as long as they find their love in the end.. that's all that matters. :)

I think what he is trying to say is that... People that are very young would think that it is love that they are experiencing but instead it was infatuation... Being infatuated to someone is very decieving especially if you are new to the business.. So yeah being infatuated to some would be more of a burden than a help.. But still it is a lesson to be learned and tou cannot learn it without trying.. Not that i am implying that your love when you where young was infatuation all i am saying is that we must go through a tough road in order to arrive to a bigger and better life..

lol, what's wrong with love with school ? :P School and grades and things are a bit lame to be honest. Treat them as obstacles to be overcome on the road to "getting a good job" or whatever, do not treat them as goals in themselves.

Well said I think that is what everyone should do... Thats my opinion though... But we should really make sure that instead of it affecting us in reltively bad way (which hppens to a lot of people...) we should transfer it into a motivation to do better... Do you agree?
i rather go sghool than love since it determine my future

Love after school. Seriously, all that inspiration to score better during exam, it doesn't work. If a couple study together, most likely, they would get distracted by each other. Love distracts you from studies, you would not be able to concentrate better in class. Love does not give you a good job, with a high starting pay. Education does that. Love does not give you money(unless you cheat from your boyfriend), Education does.

02-25-2007, 08:54 AM
But you seriously think that being in love is somewhat could be postponed??? Let me tell you if it hits you it will hit you and without any warning you would be drawn into it.. So yeah it may be at bit distracting at time but that is the price to pay for it... Remember that you go to school inorder to gain knowledge for your life right?? consider this as a lesson in life as well.. Being in it would even be helpful since you would know how to deal with it in future encounters..
As for Love as a inspiration.. Some might say that is worthless.. But for me it is all but worthless.. You would not consider dropping since you would most likely be in the same school and you would not be absent if you would be in a same class.. Things likethis should also be given understanding... But you must also try to listen to your teachers while at school... If you are just sitting their staring at her beautiful face, then yeah she would be a distraction... But if you put it into prospective and try to pay attention to the most important thing as of the moment, i really dont think that it would be a problem.

Love with school.
@BabyLoving: Indeed, love might be a distraction. But going by MY experience, it wasn't. It just depends on the type of guy (or girl) that you choose.
While they can be a distraction, they can also push you harder. Nobody wants a pathetic naive partner. At least I don't.

Then, are feelings that can be switched on and off? If you quarrel with someone you love, will you switch off your sad feelings in school, and on them, when school is over? And, even if you meet someone you love, you don't even know if that person is The One for you. If that person is, then I believe that Fate will reunite two people, who meant to be together, again. (:
What if you broke up just before the major exams? Would you be able to concentrate, when you would be feeling so sad and helpless? Even if you want to concentrate, you most probably can't.

That problably could not be avoided... But yes that would be a distration... and indeed would be a key for disaster if that happens... But for me it is a price that I am willing to pay for love... You could not get what you want always... You just hope for the best possible results.

Well if you feel that way it could not be helped... Engaging in love that you are not whole heartedly into it is indeed a disaster waiting to happen.. So yeah if I were you avoid it until you are ready to do so.. and when you do try to hang on it, then you would know what it really means to be "In Love"

I would choose Love With School but then i got an issue where my parents want me to have Love After school.
They say if i love with school, then my studies will be too distracted and i'll fail my whole exam that cost me so much let alone life.
But if i love after school, I will have a low chance of finding a girl that i love. And my friends says, "You better hurry up and go out with her otherwise someone else will get her"
ATM, i'm in a situation of Studying first, love later.

I don't really know which one is an actually good one to pick.
I meant as in the three choices in the poll above.
Though I chose the 2nd one, I think it may not be a good idea.
If you have 'fallen in love' during your school life, that is not a good thing, nor is it bad.
I suppose it will always be there to distract you from your work, but seeing your love everyday or as such is a nice thing as it gets your mind off school for just a while, it depends on the person (like I get distracted coz I'm crazy about someone atm)
As for "School first Love later" & "Love after school" there is no problem with that, though I think it may have been kept a little too late. You need to grow on somebody before just 'hooking up', I wouldn't want to go out at the age of 30, most would probably want to settle. But if that's whats best for those who get distracted easy from school, then that's whats best =)

You can't control your emotions. Either love comes or it doesn't. Anyway, in my opinion love during school is ok, as long as it's not getting in the way of learning. For example, texting eachother during the lesson- pretty dumb thing to do- absence makes the heart grow fonder, and come on, education IS pretty important nowadays. If you don't have reasonable knowledge you can't get a decent job, resulting in a not-so-much-good-lifestlye. But like I said, love is fine just as long it's not a barrier to education.

School is more of a priority right now then love.
I could care less about it. I just want to concentrate on academics and tennis.
"Love" in school doesn't even last, so there's not a point in being in a relationship.
School>>>>>romance.
Seriously. Success is everything. Love won't save you from failing school. Love won't change the fact that all the universities reject you. Love can't bring you money. School can give you everything that is actually useful. Romance is incredibly overrated.
My uncle never married, and in fact, he is doing the best out of all of his relatives. He taught mathematics in Ivy Leagues before, and even own estates in Germany and Belgium before. He warned me that love is a waste of time, and one of my other uncles, when he got into a prestigeous college before, he fell in love, and his grades suffer.
Love leads to babies, and babies interfere with your life. In addition, it worsens the already bad overpopulation problem.
well i think the best is love after school,
but i like the idea of being in love in school *blushing*

Not to be disrespectful and all but I think your uncle may be a bit wrong.. You see we are here in this earth to procreate and live happily with our spouse... I can understand not getting a GF while you are young but if you dont get one until you are old that would be bad...
Having babies is a way of life... Remember you were once a baby and your parents loved you and thus you will love yours eqaully... Dont be so isolated you must broaden your horizon or else you would end up alone...

Meh, you have your own opinions. For me, that uncle is the smartest man I've ever known personally, so I really admire him. It is true that he is the only man in our family who has not married (or even had gf, although that may be false, because I don't know much about his really personal and private life; he never had a wife, that's for sure, and he's not dating anyone now), but he is the most successful one out of all of us. While the rest of us use money to feed our families, he uses his leftover money to support us when we are in financial trouble, and also to aid the poor children all around the globe.
For you, maybe you have someone that you admire that has married. I know for me, my personal idol never married, and I certainly see a lot of benefits from that.

Perhaps you're confusing wisdom with intellect, your uncle dealing relations with a wife and kids would probably challenge him more than his own mind ever presented. It wouldn't sound very smart to let love turn you into a sham you by not showing any means of control, it takes wisdom to balance such multiple elements. And this isn't from my expirience, my only enlightenment is the next fist fight!
Love leads to babies, and babies interfere with your life. In addition, it worsens the already bad overpopulation problem.
Well you have at least want someone to inherit that great mind, can't rely on overpopulation to cover such a virtuosity for you.
Well as for me I like to blend in all aspects(vital or not), not usually seeking it out but let the unexpected thrill have a shot a me first, then after I proceed to take my quest from there. :redbiggri
But experiencing a cultivating pot of events is what keeps me interested, I haven't had much trouble extending to cater for my ditsy lovely and good brain status.

school first, love is good and everything. but the way people think and talk about it ALL the time sorta puts you off it coz you dont wanna become like them and go crazy for the opposite gender. anyway, i heard somewhere that people are more interested in smart people. so get brains now, get partners later.

It's possible that dealing relations with a wife and kids can prove to be more challenging than my uncle thinks, but I doubt it would be the most challenging thing he has ever faced. He helps everyone in his family with financial issues, not exactly an easy thing to do since I have family members who are attending Ivy Leagues! And speaking of intellect and wisdom, my uncle has both. He can spend days in laboratory conducting research, and later, he travels to places like Germany and America to debate about his findings.

Maybe, but having only one child to inherit my legacy would be risky. What if my only child rebels against me? Then all my efforts in life would be in vain since my child decides to tarnish my reputation. I simply don't want to take that risk. I wish to become successful myself and help the world. For me, knowledge is all that matters. Romantic love is nothing more than a chasing after the wind.

Love with school. It's possible not to get your studies affected if you know how to manage your time and your relationship effectively. And school is the time when you get to have all the fun before your working life takes over, you know? :(

Is there a difference between "love after school" and "school first, love later"?
XD
I say, love after school, you can love someone while studying and it wont affect you much if you know how to manage the situation. However, if something turns up and the decision of continue studying or stay with your love pops up, i would choose studies first.
why?
Love doesnt pay the bills, nor helps me on getting the basic needs to get thro life >_<

Just find your lady companion (or male companion) at school!

Lol.. To all people who say school is way more important then love.. you probably never been in love, you may think so, but you most probably haven't. Having a crush or thinking someone is cute is not the same as love.
It's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity.
Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go ;)
Well in my opinion love > everything, and if you really have known love you will probably agree.
Most people that go to school are too young to really be in love, imho. So i guess the question should be ''is school more important then having a girlfriend?'' (or boyfriend if you're a girl) My answer would be yes. If you screw school and just hang around with your girlfriend and fail everything, you're gonna regret it a few years later when you and her broke up and you barely remember her name.
Most people that go to school are too young to really be in love, imho. So i guess the question should be ''is school more important then having a girlfriend?'' (or boyfriend if you're a girl) My answer would be yes. If you screw school and just hang around with your girlfriend and fail everything, you're gonna regret it a few years later when you and her broke up and you barely remember her name.
QFT!!! I think the topic maker probably meant that but used the wrong phrasing. I think Shezmu sums it up nicely. My thoughts exactly! Also when you have someone who you really love it is easy to balance things in life based on priority. If the understand you they will understand that you want to work hard and support you. That and they may also be a good influence on you if they are driven in the same way.
Although, to play devil's advocate, George Bernard Shaw said "Love is a temporary emotional disturbance" Whereas your career is all important and your chances to live comfortably are very important....you can find love after you graduate
*I do not agree with this but for the sake of it :p*

i think you should live and love while in school. Some things you need to learn before you say hello to the big new world...

^^^amen... * picks up pieces of his heart*
School before love GMV. Their is to much at stake in school and future to get side tracked in a relationship that will almost likley end before you graduate, and end up having multiple relations as well.

People put far too much importance in school, I blame the teachers myself. They talk like your grades are the be all and end all of your life. This simply isn't the case. Fact is your in school till your 18, you can go on to further education in to your mid twenties. If you choose to dedicate roughly a third of your life to sitting in rooms being told things then no one should stop you, but I do think its a dangerous amount of time to gamble on something so unfulfilling.
As one of my usual ways to respond to something like this:
1. Define love.
Anyway, moving on.
Its love > school.
Why? because its love > work and its love > society aswell as love > war :P
If I can have love but miss out some on becoming another wellmade droid of the world, I'll have love anytime.
Ofcourse, its not like love makes you paralysed, but I'd choose it over a university degree, especially that it worth sh*t in my country alrdy, and I can buy one later.
On the other hand love is worth it. I'm not gonna define it, I can't, but to make things clear, I'm not thinking about "ah this good lookin guy/gurl asked me out, I f*cking love her/him...wuts the name" that is going on in school usually.
If we think on that then its school, and it still not ebcause of the future defining factor, but because school is fun when you have awesome friends there.
Saying that, I started school again just this week for another 2 years, and my everyday mood of "the first human to ask something from me gonna die"
is gone, and even with sleeping only 4-5 hours a day, I feel a lot more lively then when I slept 10 hours a day but had to go to work.

School first, always!
If you don't get a chance now, you can always get love later,
but if you screw up school now, you've wasted a year of your life and, possible, your future.

love and school together is the best!!
well.... you cant be that good at both like you had
one as priority but thats better.
school can teach you how to money earn from the studies that yo made and
provides you knowledge about the most things
exept from one.........love
you cant learn how is love from books or anything else unless you try it yourself!
thats why i choose both!

together sometimes having someone there can make going to school worthwhile like say your in exams and getting depressed that special person can help and keep you on the right road

school comes first. what ever the reason.
for me love distract you from school. your heart breaks, it take space in your mind. your too happy, it'll distract you. for me, when you are still schooling, love is not an exception. i don't like the idea of wasting my time for love that i know will never survive. too young. might as well focus on your studies. how far can a love take you? to college? meh NO! for me, love doesn't exist between school days. so for me SCHOOL IS THE FIRST PRIORITY.

Why can't you have both? I really don't think that you can control when you fall in love. If you happen to be a student at the time, then that's just what happened.
Of course I do think that people should prioritize things. If it is really love and not just infatuation or lust, then it isn't going to go away. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic, but I think that true love can survive almost anything. That is one of the reasons I would never (ever ever ever ever) get married until I'm out of college and have a career.
If it really is love, you'll love the person just as much (if not more) in the few years it takes you to graduate as you do now. So what's the rush?

When you say love , you mean wanna-be relationships of high school , one night stands e.t.c ? If so Studies > Love.. but if someone is really in love with sb else ( hmm.. about 0,1% for this to happen.. lols.. love is something that really doesnt happen often...) i guess its ok to neglect his studies... I mean gaining a job -> money -> being successful could make you happy.. But wouldnt you be happier if you fell in love 0.o ? Anyway.. Im not the romantic guy who would fall in love... so i guess studies > love.. or should i say.. FUN >studies > love?..
