<p>Well, I think I’m missing out on dating. I’m the only Senior I know who has NEVER gone on a date, ever. That’s pretty sad.
But then again, it is partly my fault, because my mother refuses to let me date…
Plus my ethnicity is Indian… so I think guys are under the assumption that I’m not interested. T.T </p>
<p>I can’t wait for college.</p>
<p>Don’t feel bad ASP; I never dated when I was in HS either.</p>
<p>YES!! That gives me hope! :D</p>
<p>It blows but at least you don’t have to worry about relationship “drama” or STDs or babies.</p>

<p>Dating is overrated. I only wish I was you and DIDN’T date in high school. BECAUSE I dated in high school, all the drama with my idiot boyfriend distracted me from what was REALLY important (keeping up my grades and joining extracurriculars to put on my college app). It’s why I screwed up my entire GPA my freshman year and didn’t join any extracurriculars until I was a senior. It’s also why I’m not graduating valedictorian this year.</p>
<p>:( Is dating really overated or are you just speaking from your bad experience?</p>
<p>Bleh, I do feel like I’m missing out on something, but then when I do get an opportunity to hang out or do stuff other teenagers at my school do (go to dances, games), I am then reminded as to why I hate socializing and why I shouldn’t really be complaining.</p>
<p>I’m just too much of a homebody. I go to bed, indulge in reading Anna Karenina, and wish I knew somebody like Levin. That’s what fills my “void” in my social life.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m missing out on the dating scene, but then I don’t really want to deal with my mother’s disapproval over that right now. Sometimes I do feel like I’m missing out on my social life, but then I’m glad that I get to spend time with my family while I still can. I really do wish that I have more of a social life, but it’s hard with overprotective parents. Oh well…something to look forward to in college though.</p>
<p>I try to take advantage of my time at school and socialize then. I look back on my years of high school and I’ve started to realize that I wasn’t missing out on anything. I’ve had such an amazing high school experience because I focused on what was really important. Yes I didnt go party all the time. Yes Ive only gone to like 3 football games and dances. Yes I usually spend my friday nights and weekends at home with my family and doing homework. But I still got to participate in most high school things and I wouldn’t change anything.</p>
<p>Also, I totally feel you guys about the dating thing. It’s nice not having the heart break and the drama but I do feel lonely sometimes. Then again, the selection at my school isn’t that great. I dont want to be arrogant or anything but I’d say I’m attractive, nice, and smart. But all the guys at my school are either nice and attractive but dumb as rocks or nice and smart but really unattractive looking. I can’t wait till college…</p>

<p>Yes, dating is most definitely overrated. Perhaps my conclusion is slightly influenced by my bad experience, but not entirely. Dating was never anything like I imagined it. Although it definitely has some perks (extra presents on holidays, lol, and the occasional emotional support), it’s mostly just total drama all the time. I spent more time crying and pitying myself than being happy. The whole “fuzzy feeling” that you get when you’re in love is a total rip-off, too. Trust me, being in a relationship nothing, NOTHING, like on TV or in the movies. Dating is really nothing but stress and drama. It has very few of the rewards that Hollywood so enjoys portraying. Whatever you think you’re missing, take it from me, you are not missing anything that big. The only thing you’re missing is the ability to honestly say, “I’m dating,” or, “I have dated.”</p>
<p>I don’t think I have been missing out on anything this year. Despite having more stress than ever, this has been my most fun year! I have gone to every home and away football game this year, even though I had to drive all across Arizona because I was supporting my friends! I have done something with my friends every single weekend this year and I have even gone out on weekdays! I have a very heathy social life and my studies have not been affected. Then again, I don’t study for any of my classes and I am done with standardized testing (not that I studied for that either). I am in many clubs including leadership positions and I am playing soccer and running track this year! I am seriously having the most fun of my life this year!!! :)</p>
<p>Not all of us are gifted enough to do well in school and ace standardized testing without studying -_- super jealous.</p>
<p>depressing to see the mentality that having fun at this age means you’ll be on the streets when you’re 60…</p>

Dang it. And I was so looking forward to college.
Ah well. At least I’ll still have a bit more freedom.</p>
<p>I’m missing out on sleep… QQ</p>
