Personally, I think they're worthless, but there have been a few times where I've been willing to risk it. I always think about how much I or the other person might be held back because of it, but I'd hate to see them with someone else.
What do you guys think? Is the experience worth it, or should highschoolers wait until they are independent?

A few of my friends I have graduated with have had long lasting relationships from the time we were Freshman. Now they are married and have kids. It all depends on the person. A lot of high school kids just don't have the commitment for a meaningful relationship at that point. To often in High school, having a relationship is seens as a status symbol. Those sorts of relationships never last. I have never personally agreed with that notion. But then again I am an old fashioned grump.
