How many people actually kept a long relationship with somebody while they were in middle school or highschool? Very few people are able to keep a relationship for more than a few weeks. Why is it that younger people do not seem to have as much commitment as the older people seem to have. I think that over the years the word commitment has lost its meaning to a lot of people. divorce rates have gone up like crazy. How many people in their 60's or up do you hear about being divorced. The new generation does not seem to like the commitment. I think that this has a huge affect on our society. What would be some of the differences in the world today if there were more commitments that were held true in the world? I have never been able to figure out why there is such a lack of commitment. so if you have come up with any reasons as to why please fill me in. Another question that i had is, if you have a hard time with commitment in highschool will that actually hold true when you get to college or possible even later in your life when you are married? And is it easier for those that could keep a commitment during highschool to keep one when they are older? Can that be linked in anyway? Either way people should still be aware that it starts at a young age of not keeping commitments and it is definatly not a good thing to learn.
commitment

People in middle school and high school should NOT have commitment in a relationship. They should also not have commitment to a job, a future career, and they should not have decided 100% what they want to do with themselves.
They may have decided they're future career, but they don't have to have a commitment to it. That's preposterous.
Kids that age are learning why they should be committed to things and what is important in their lives.

But commitment in relationship should come second to school work and career. The divorce rate is so high because people do not want to learn how to deal with new things...they want to go the easy way out. Now this is not always the case but alot of the time it is.
I understand the lack of commitment but younger people should not really commit until they are ready. If they do commit than they must realise that their relationship is 2nd. I have been in a relationship 3 years and was in one my junior year with the guy I am with now. Some people will learn to break the mold. It just may take some time.
