FOREIGN LITERATURE TEEN RELATIONSHIP This study used the propensity score method to investigate the effects of early teenage relationships on academic performance to high school students. Frequent dating behaviors and early sexual experiences showed significant negative impacts on both academic outcomes; moderate dating activities had an estimated positive impact. Implications from this study may help inform educators and families in developing appropriate policies and educational conversations to guide youth toward a moderate, timely manner of dating. Humans, particularly adolescents get involve in romantic relationships with variety of reasons. According to Aristotle, humans are “social animals” which made them long to form an intimate relationship in which love can be given and received freely which the psychologists called “the need to belong” (Myers, 2010). Rest assured of the love and care given by the persons close to them, they are secured with the trust and confidence that they are acceptable to individuals whom they can depend on for the satisfaction of their needs.

Raman (2010) stated that being in romantic relationship involves physical contact which causes chemical arousal to the persons involved and at the same time gain love and confidence in which they are longing for. (Koob & Bloom 1982) also explained this by stating that the individuals who are in love release a number of chemicals within the brain such as oxytocin, vasopressin and endorphins which cause “short-term” joy and
pleasure. On the other hand,
According to Arnet (as cited in Fincham& Cui, 2011) "late adolescents" is the stage where teenagers experienced how to be totally and socially independent. This is the time for curiosity & explorations in choosing and having a partner, and explores this kind of curiosity that somehow leads to romantic relationship. However, this kind of relationship may not lead to a pleasant and intense love affair. This is just a result of their inquisitive mind and a sort of finding on how to fit into the world. “What is life all about?” Questions such as these assume special significance during teenage years, as adolescents seek to find their place in
broader and social world. This
quest takes adolescents along several routes. Luqman (2009) said that an adolescent relationship plays an important
PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF CRIMINOLOGY 641 SALES ST., STA. CRUZ, MANILA LIBERAL ARTS
role to adolescents as it develops the ability for committed relationships. Additionally, Pelt(2004) stated that those relationships help develop personality. She also added that it is a way of knowing one’s unique qualities of opposite sex and at the same time choosing the right life partner. Moreover, researchers theorized that romantic relationship is essential to the development of adolescents in different aspects such as “transformation of family relationships, close relationships with peers, sexuality, and career planning”(Furman,2002). According to Lucas & Curpuz (2007), “quality personal relationships that provide stability, trust, and caring such as romantic relationships can increase learners’ sense of belonging, self-respect and self- acceptance, and provide a positive climate for learning”

(p. 16) and thus increase academic performance. According to the theory of incentive approach of motivation, the desirable properties of external stimuli – whether grades, money, affection, food, or sex – account for person’s motivation. Moreover, theorists suggested that romantic relationship has a great role in the academic performance of adolescents. Vgotsky’s theory states that social interaction plays a very important role in the cognitive development of an individual and could not be understood without looking into the social and cultural context. Furthermore, Vygotsky’s ideas about “cognitive
PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF CRIMINOLOGY 641 SALES ST., STA. CRUZ, MANILA LIBERAL ARTS
development” have become major influences in psychology and education today (Lucas & Corpuz, 2007). Theorists suggested that romantic relationship has a great role in the academic performance of adolescents. Parents, peers, and partners, on the other hand, cooperate, collaborate and enrich the learning experience (Lucas &Corpuz, 2007). In this way, adolescents who are more knowledgeable can help in the cognitive development of their partner. In another way, romantic relationship gives more negative effects on the academic performance of adolescents. Teens nowadays consider romantic relationship as the number one source of stress (Manning et al., 2009). It results from the breakups or conflicts with partner. Even those who give more importance on academics, spending time with one’s partner may also serve as a distraction. Myers (2010) also said that: For university students, relationships consume much of life. How much of your waking life is spent talking
PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF CRIMINOLOGY 641 SALES ST., STA. CRUZ, MANILA LIBERAL ARTS
with people? One sampling of 10,000 tape recordings of half-minute slices of students’ waking hours (using belt-worn recorders) found them talking to someone 28% of the time – and that doesn’t count the time they spent to someone (Mehl&Pennebaker, 2003). In 2008, the average American 13-17 year-old sent or received 1742 text messages per month (pp. 393-394) (Furman, 2002) Young people spend a great deal of time thinking about, talking about, and being in romantic relationships, yet adults typically dismiss teenage dating relationships as superficial. Young people do not agree: half of all teens report having been in a dating relationship and nearly one-third of all teens said they have been in a serious relationship. Although most adolescent relationships last for only a few weeks or months, these early relationships play a pivotal role in
PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF CRIMINOLOGY 641 SALES ST., STA. CRUZ, MANILA LIBERAL ARTS
the lives of the teens and are important to developing the capacity for long-term, committed relationships in adulthood. (Teenage Research Unlimited, 2006) (Barber & Eccles, 2003) The quality of adolescent romantic relationships can have long lasting effects on self-esteem and shape personal values regarding romance, intimate relationships, and sexuality. This article discusses the importance of romantic relationships to youth and youth development, including the benefits of healthy relationships, the risks romantic relationships may
pose to adolescents, and the need for adults to support young people in developing healthy relationships.
