Q

Dear Dale,

I have a crush (喜欢) on a girl in my class, but I haven’t told her. I know being at high school isn’t the best time to start a relationship, but I can’t control myself.

Benjamin

Dear Benjamin,

Being a teenager is normally the time when we begin to think about romance, and everyone always remembers their first crush.

However, there are a few things you should consider.

First, you must remember that a senior student’s top priority (优先事项) is to study as hard as possible. This means that if two students were to develop a relationship with one another, they may get distracted (分散注意力) from their schoolwork.

And while it might be nice to have a boyfriend or girlfriend to share your life with, high school relationships don’t normally last forever – your final grade will, however.

Second, you should consider your school’s rules. Many schools don’t allow their students to have relationships, so keep that in mind.

That said, there’s no reason that you can’t make friends with a person you have a crush on.

After all, the other girl or boy may not even feel the same way about you － but that doesn’t mean you can’t be good friends.

In the meantime, focus on your studies more than your love life － at least until you graduate senior high.

It may seem like you have no freedom to do what you want right now. But once all the hard work of being a senior is over, you’ll be free to date whoever you like.
