Personally, I think they're worthless, but there have been a few times where I've been willing to risk it. I always think about how much I or the other person might be held back because of it, but I'd hate to see them with someone else.
What do you guys think? Is the experience worth it, or should highschoolers wait until they are independent?

Have fun with it and learn. Just because it won't last forever doesn't mean you'll get nothing from the experience. While I'm not married and have had many relationships, I don't regret dating any of them. They've given me invaluable experience, in various forms. ;D
