Unequivocal yes. If you can't juggle the HSC and a relationship you're gonna have real fun with uni and the workplace.

this is very true. get your priorities right, especially when you are studying and working a part time job, don't let your job get in the way of your studies, i've made this mistake and i tend to struggle. so studying should always come first. it will benefit you in the long run.

it's not that i can't do it - i'm coping pretty well so far - it's just a few people think it's a bad idea. *shrugs*

Those are probably the same people who think the HSC is the end of the world. Just ignore them and make sure you're keeping abreast of your studies and you'll be fine.

Depends whether you are able to handle it.

My boyfriend is in the same year as me and we've been going out for a year and half and I deal fine with him and the HSC.

However, I know others who get really distracted having a relationship and trying to juggle school. If you are the sort of person who can handle it then don't break it off. :p

ive been with my bf for a year and 5 months... hes 19 and at tafe, plus is job... im 17 and full time school plus casual work...

i get on fine.. i see him tuesday and thursday nights. and friday/sat/sun till 6:30 then i have to be home

ive been getting relativly good marks in every subject so my parents dont see him as a distraction. it depends on if u he distracts you THAT much that you cant concentrate.
hopefully thats not the case.

i think you'll be fine, dont end it if ur going to break his heart and yours...

i had a boyfriend during the actually HSC. we got together beginning of october. while some could say he 'distracted' me from study i dont really think he did - as before we were together we talked heaps on msn which is what we did during the hsc itself - met up after each exam so he didnt really take any up any 'study' time.

we spent a lot of time together over the summer. when i started uni he never distracted me. we saw each other at least twice a week when possible.

dont let people stop u being in a relationship just because of the hsc. u have to learn to juggle things anyway. just prioritise and u can make it work. be honest with each other and also be supportive. the support my bf gave me through the hsc and now with my decision to drop out of my uni course was amazing and helped alot.

good luck

he's not in school anymore, and i don't really mind what UAI I get because I don't want to go to tertiary education anyways, i'd rather keep doing my job which i love love love. So I guess it depends. My parents think he's a bit of a distraction, but i only ever see him when he comes and visits me at lunch time and on the weekends, not after school or anything. So i think it's okay. Just wanted some other opinions :)

Thanks everyone =D

I started a new relationship when I first started year 12.

1. Awarded scholarship upon entering Sydney Uni
2. Now in my Honours year, hoping for a scholarship for Masters
3. Still with him almost 5 years later
4. Living with him

Just don't be an idiot teenager who revolves around their new partner. Just get your shit sorted.

If you have a fight around exams, or you break up before
the Exams at the end of the year, then you will realise it
was a bad idea.

Do you have an involuntary reflex in your right pinky or do you keep hitting that enter key at inappropriate times on purpose?

I wouldnt start up a relationship with some crazy psyco bitch who is likely to drop the 'break-up' bomb on you just before hsc. (happened to 3 mates of mine). Otherwise if you find a good chick - go for it.

It's depends who your with. If your going to be with someone who demands a lot of attention, then you're not going to have enough time for your school. Get your shirt sorted and you will be fine.
