Hypothesis-Being in a committed relationship in high school results in lower academic performance. Conceptualisation of Hypothesis: In today's world more than half of high school students have been in relationships and most of graduates too. Today people do prefer to form committed relationships later on in life and prioritise well, focusing on their education. However some do feel that they can be in a committed relationship and at the same time do their best in other spheres of life. We, are trying to prove that these people who are in committed relationships are not living upto their potential and would be better off without a relationship. Other tests in particular the one done by StudyMode shows that more than half of those children who have mobile phones in school text their partner during classes, a tenth email their partner and 41% even say that they've skipped class before to be with their significant other. All these facts are reinstating our belief that students get distracted by their significant others. Well in our minds a committed relationship is one where both partners are emotionally attached and have been emotionally invested in there significant other for over 2-3 months(includes before getting into the relationship). They depend on each other for stability in their lives. As we need to make sure we get accurate results. We would also like to make clear what we mean by terms such as emotional stability and their relations to relationships. Irrational thinking, impulsiveness and a fluctuating level of happiness are the three things one can notice in those who are emotionally unstable. This aspect comes into context as when committed partners start causing one to think irrationally or be impulsive about matters concerning their partners. These people can be easily affected and distracted by even the littlest things in their relationship and unable to focus while going through a rough patch. They start to depend on their partners to keep up a certain level of emotional balance. We sense this is not only distracting one away from paying attention in class but limiting their ability to do work and the quality of their work when under stress and emotional imbalance. Academic performance and what effects it: to reach optimum academic performance a work ethic and an intellectually advanced brain is not all that is required to excel. We believe one must have 2 non school hours dedicated to homework and self study or tuition in some cases. We believe one must get enough rest, 7-8 hours of sleep and maintain a healthy body. One must not feel emotionally or socially neglected by family or friends as anything that can effect one's behaviour and thought processes negatively in school or at home, can effect the quality of the work they put in towards academics. Our third point shows us exactly why the effects of relationships can be harmful to academic performances. Our friends from other schools and our classmates as well have all had changes in their life whether minute or large upon getting in relationships. By trying to prove our hypothesis we will show how these changes in their life have effected academic performance. All aspects that affect academic performance will be analysed after the survey to prove our hypothesis.
