18、 and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. Its indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In myopinion,even though some high school relationships might continue
19、 after graduation,the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.Firstly you have to think about such a questionwhether it is possible to hurt both of you,or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives.
