In a random survey of students being single or in a relationship at Morton East,  43 students said they were single, and  57 reported being in a relationship .

“It is hard nowadays to be in a serious relationship which is the reason I guess some people are single,” said senior Jazmin Gonzales.

This shows that some people prefer to stay single, but another student interviewed feels differently.

“I feel like it is not hard it is just whether or not the person you are with actually likes you and wants to be with you,” said Senior Raul Rodriguez.

This shows that Morton East students each have different reasoning on why someone may be single or in a relationship.
