uuummm

I had a boyfriend from the beginning and end of year 12, and I'm still with him.

It just depends on the person... all about time management and self control...

relationships can be ok. some of my friends were in relationships during year 12 and it worked for them coz the guy was supportive and they had somewhere to get away from the hsc. others had bfs in year 12 so they were also busy studying and that. it depends on how string the relationship is and how committed you are to doing well

I hate the putting off attitude.
I mean if you want to go into med/law you'll be busy in y12 then for another 4-6 years at least. So unless you want to wait seven years until you have a relationship then you need to just cope with it and find someone understanding of your needs.
I think it's very possible to have one in year 12, I mean seriously except for a couple of weeks of the year you always have a bit of spare time you just have to learn to procrastinate less, prioritise etc.

Well, you see the thing with that is, most do wait 4-6 years.

Its not that bad .... u just need to realise that you need to spend atleast some time together ... at the same time it gives you a chance to relax and get away from studying.

my friend was seeing a guy who was older then her
she wasnt allowed to see him so she would wag skool and always be with him
she would see him instead of studying for exams and instead of "going to the library"
basically she spent the whole of year 12 trying to be with him and fucking up her hsc
and now that its over they arent even together...and she regrets everything and wishes she actually tried etc

my bf and I were really stressed during HSC cuz we didnt study hard b4........
but he helped me alot to go thru all the difficulties!
however, we did argue more often than b4,but he would always calm me down..

I didn't have a relationship in Year 12. The stress would have been too much. I had enough problems concentrating with this guy I had a crush on sitting near me in exams.

I can tell myself I didn't have a boyfriend in Year 12 by choice, but the reality is that if someone came along, I wouldnt have rejected them- and well, nobody came along.

I think relationships (unless they are rock solid) can fuck up Year 12- I mean I had enough issues with my friends that caused problems with study. I can only imagine what a boyfriend and the complications that come with one would cause. I mean, I'm not saying it can't work, but for someone like me there is no way it wouldnt have stuffed around with my studies.

Personally I think the stress of the HSC is overated. I think uni is way more stressful than year 12. I did my first year uni this year and I had a bf all the way through it. I dunno what i could have done wth out him.
there is much more stressful things in life than the hsc but you don't think that at the time. i don't think having a boyfriend during the hsc would have affected me that much. in fact if he was the right guy he might have motivated me to study more than i did. i have regrets about the way i approached the hsc anyway so i dont think having a bf could have made it any worse...
