Topic: A Research On The Effects Of A Romantic Relationship In

School.

Introduction:
Nowadays,many students are seen having a closer relationship with
the opposite gender. There are a lot of teenage couples in school.We
are curious to find out how this action will influence our learning in
school. There are 30 Junior 2 students who took part in this research.

Research Question:
(1) What are the possible effects students may face when in a close
relationship with the opposite gender?
(2) How can this affect learning?

Methodology:
● Sent questions to participants via google forms.
● Gathered some articles via internet.

Survey Questions:
(1)Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend now?
(2)Do you think having a romantic relationship while in school is alright?
(3)What are the pros of having a romantic relationship?
(4)What are the cons of having a romantic relationship?
(5)When do you think that someone should have a romantic
relationship?

Findings:
Chart 1

From chart 1, we can see 93.3% or 28 students say no, 6.7% or 2 students say
yes. Based on the answer,we found that only two of them have a boyfriend or
girlfriend , most of them don’t have.

Chart 2

From chart 2 ,we can see that 26.7% of students think that it is okay to have a
romantic relationship now but 23.3% of students do not agree with this idea.
50% of students are not sure of it.
Chart 3

From chart 3, we can see that people have different opinions on what
students think are the pros of having a romantic relationship.A third of
the students think that it can help you to be happier. But some students
think that it has no good impacts. A small number of students think that
it can help improve studies. Another small number of students think
that it can help you be a better person.

Chart 4

In chart 4 , we can see that most of the students think that having a romantic
relationship will affect their study in a bad way.16.7% of students agree that
they will get jealous easily while having a romantic relationship.A few students
think that this will waste their money while 23.3% of students agree all the
ideas
Above. 16.7% of students think that having a romantic relationship will not
affect them.

Chart 5

From chart 5, we can see that more than half of the students think that someone
can have a romantic relationship when they are 18 years old or older. But more
than 30% of students think it is acceptable to have a romantic relationship
below 18 years old.

Conclusion:
Based on the findings from 30 participating students, we have concluded
that students are divided on this topic. Half of the students think that
having a romantic relationship now, as students is not encouraged as the
cons outweigh the pros. However the other half think that having a
romantic relationship is something you should do as part of your school
life.

Recommendation:
We recommend that we should not have a romantic relationship now
because it will affect our studies in a bad way. Although there are some
benefits like : SS can motivate each other to do well in the studies, some
SS become more responsible , it is still better not to be involved in a
relationship. Moreover , we feel that students should not have a
romantic relationship before 18 years old because they are not mature
enough to face problems.
