I would interpret the first sentence "不要仅因为她谈男朋友了，就觉得她不会将心思放在学习上。" as telling the listener "Don't think that she can't focus in school just because she has a boyfriend." and the second sentence "她只是谈了男朋友，并不代表她不会将心思花在学业上。" as "She just has a boyfriend, that doesn't mean she can't focus in school." as opposed to directly telling the listener what not to think. Slightly different, but both are correct.

There are two ways to translate this phrase.

1. **不要仅因为**......**就代表/觉得/是/意味着）**......

   不要仅因为她谈男朋友了，就觉得她不会将心思放在学习上。

   just because, translated to "不要仅因为"，we put the negative "doesn't mean" ahead in Chinese grammer. "that" can be translated to "就觉得，就代表"
2. **仅仅/只是**......**并不意味着**......

   她只是谈了男朋友，并不代表她不会将心思花在学业上。

   This is the literal translation. But it also makes sense.
