II. Review from literature

Let us see how relationship during studies are reflected on their performance
A.effects on having a relationship during studies
Having a relationship has a lot of responsibilities on studies so what it will the
effect on students ?
Disruption of Friendship Groups-High school students typically maintain a
circle of close friends, but having a relationship with someone can break
these friendships. For example, when a student enters a romantic
relationship,the person will have lesser time with his/her friends or worse,
friends may become jealous, which can lead to arguments or the breaking of
friendships.

Increased Stress Level-With having a hormonal mood swings and emotional

difficulties, pressuring yourself to succeed academically that lead students
to be busy having a stress . A relationship introduces another source of
stress, taking up more time and potentially adding to emotional upset if the
relationship goes awry. According to Focus Adolescent Services, dating and
relationship problems or break-ups are common sources of stress for teens
and may lead to anxiety, depression, withdrawal and physical illness.

Improved Support Systems-The presence of a boyfriend or girlfriend in a

high school student's life can have a positive effect, providing the
relationship is stable. The individuals in a relationship can become very
close, which in turn allows each partner to support the other during difficult
times. For instance, studying together for exams or venting about difficulties
at school or home may be beneficial for both students.

Transition to College-According to research by Chung Pham, Tracy Keenan

and Bing Han, published in the Journal of Applied Economics and Business
Research, students who enter into a serious relationship in high school are
less likely to graduate high school and move on to college, while non-daters
and moderate daters are more likely to advance to college.

B. Problems that will come when having relationship

Money Problems: people sometimes spend their money to their boyfriend or

girlfriend and
this may cause to have financial problem when you dont handle
them properly
Communication Breakdowns-No matter how hard couples try, they will
have at least occasional communication breakdowns. A communication
breakdown occurs when the speakers intent doesnt correspond with the impact
of the message received by the listener. Usually the impact is negative. The
negative impact may range from feelings of mild confusion or irritation all the
way to profound anger and strong beliefs that the speaker is emotionally
disturbed, sinister,or both. To begin resolving a communication breakdown, the
listener needs to identify the impact, describe it to the speaker, and ask if that
impact was intended. Having done that, the couple may find it much easier to
deal with the original topic.
Flexibility of Roles- when you have boyfriend or girlfriend it will having
more roles . You have to plan how to balance on how you do school works and havin
g communication with your bf.gf
