Personally I think trying to have a relationship in high school is ultimately pointless, but not necessarily bad
Here's why:
A) Most adolescents have a skewed idea of what being in a relationship means, IE physical attraction rather than liking someone as a person (forgive me if your different) and this just doesn't work if you actually plan to have a good relationship.
|3) They don't last, this sort of goes along with the first point. But there is usually something that drives the two apart. And even if it does somehow manage to make it through the drama that high school is, unless your planning on stopping your life after high school and raising a family, the relationship is driven apart by different interests, which lead to different places that they want to go to, leading to a long distance relationship. And those almost never work out.
C) I have a general rule of thumb, if I can't see my self being content with them for the rest of my life (divorce is no option) then there is no point in dating them and leading on a relationship that will be fruitless. And quite frankly, I don't think I'm mature enough as a junior in HS to make a decision of that magnitude.
If I had to try to find a benefit to dating in high school, the only one I can really see is that the involved parties both gain life experience in facilitating a relationship with another person, even if the reasons aren't the best
However, I don't expect any one else to share my view point. I can't really give a solid answer, It's definitely not good, but not totally bad. I might have a predisposition to think of dating in a negative light seeing as I haven't actually had a relationship. Yes, this might be over analyzing the topic, but it is my opinion on the matter nonetheless.
TL;DR Just go read it
