Overrated
Sometimes I find myself thinking relationships are a bit overrated. Think about it. Unless your spending the rest of this person, what are you getting out of it? Sure you maybe you know what you're looking for, but by the time you figure it out, they could have already broken your heart ten times over. Honestly it's a little irritating that people obsess over things like this. Usually I'm stuck being a counselor, because surprise, he broke her heart. Sometimes more than once. I stand by my opinion. Relationships are overrated.

Considering that I've seen way too many kids below 12 years old getting second, third, or fourth partners, I think the importance of relationships can definitely be overrated (especially as there is no need to get into relationships so early, since we aren't dying at 40 anymore).
However, teen relationships are still important. It doesn't have to become as serious as people make it out to be, but this is a time of experimentation. It probably won't matter what age you start your first relationship, it's probably going to be 'immature' in some way, because you'll have to get used to everything that comes with being in one of those relationships. I'm not one of those people who think that you can figure out who you want just by being with one person. Some people are lucky to find that, and some might just be settling for what they percieve is the best of the bunch. Unfortunately most have to go through a little/ a lot of emotional stress to find that person who makes the most complimentive partner (or maybe that's because of their obsessing and they should just calm down?).
