true long disctance relationships rarely work, but two hours really isnt that bad. assuming of you can drive, and if your bf is going off to college and isnt a pedophile you should be over 16, one of you probably can, youll probably be able to see each other at least every weekend. that should be enough, and remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Hi. I know how you feel. Lots of things like that are happening all over the world right now with kids our age. We're all going to different schools, on trips, working like crazy...basically, it's September and that means that we're all going our seperate ways once again. It sucks, I know it does. I experienced it for the first time my freshman year in high school when my best friend went off to college. I cried for like two days because I realized this is how it has to be with a lot of my friends pretty much every fall from now on. Because that's when you know you're growing up. Everyone has seperate lives and seperate goals. My ex-boyfriend (...well, actually, it's complicated) is leaving in two weeks to go to Africa for nine months. That's going to (pardon my French) fucking suck when he leaves. One of my best friends went back to school a few weeks ago. A lot of my friends from work that I spent the whole summer with all went back to school and we all go to different schools. Yeah, it stinks. But it's going to happen a lot from now on because everyone is constantly changing. You're going to have to learn how to let people go and take them back. I'd suggest that you focus on your own goals. Hang out with your boyfriend when he's in town for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break. Talk to him on the phone, email him, write him letters. Hang out with your friends that are still here. Just have fun, go to school and enjoy life. You'll get used to so much change and everything will be okay. :)

I know this is hard, but statistically long distance does not work...but, screw statistics, if you love this man, if you WANT to be with him, and are WILLING to MAKE it work, then darn it you do it...I know what your going through, and it is hard, some relationships work, some don't it just depends on how much the couple is in love...and if you have a strong love between you, all will be well...
I wish you the best!
