In high school, it’s hard not to pay attention to social media and the news.

However, the only thing we seem to care about is what happens in Hollywood.

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, the Kardashians are pregnant, someone is getting divorced, married, or has cheated on his or her significant other.

Now, there is nothing wrong with finding entertainment in all of this. But at some point it begins to infiltrate your mind and poison your thoughts.

At some point, you have to see that those relationships aren’t the greatest: one party cheats on the other, people lie about their feelings, or maybe they are dishonest in general.

So many people pay attention to the news that they stop paying attention to their significant other. Or perhaps they begin to push those unrealistic ideas onto them.

Why would you ever want a relationship as fake as those in Hollywood?

Most of those relationships are probably publicity stunts created solely to stir up drama in order to sell more albums, movies, or merchandise.

The saddest thing is that I see this most among teenage girls who want their boyfriends to make some big proposal or apologize to them by standing outside their house with a boombox.

This, to me, is sickening.

Everything in Hollywood is fake — even most body parts — so what would make you think that what happens to these celebrities is sincere?

Your relationship should be put far before these ideas, and it shouldn’t be forced to adapt to society’s expectations.

We’re expected to be teenagers who just date for fun, but that causes so many problems. We think it’s OK to play with others’ feelings and meddle in others’ relationships when we should be worrying about our own.

As teenagers, sometimes feelings change and things come to an end. Shouldn’t you try to spend as much time with that other person as possible before one of you breaks things off rather than watching what celebrities are doing?

So before you start pushing your boyfriend or girlfriend to fit your Hollywood expectations, think again because your relationship shouldn’t be fake.
