Go Young Love!
me and my boyfriend have been going out for just about 2 years (nearly there, in 2 months) but my dad always says, "it'll never last". We are both smart students, even though we're young, and we want to go to top universities in a years time (he is 17 and I am 16 - theres a 9 month gap and we are both in the same year at school). The thing is, its been almost two years and I feel its trivial for my dad to keep on saying this and so stubbornly denying that we could ever last. I don't feel like I'll ever break up with him (now I know that is what everyone says but I really have no desire to be with other guys, or experiment, or anything) we have both a great time with eachother as friends, help eachother out all the time, have the fair few petty arguments and also a great sex life (its legal from 16 here in the UK guys, so no lectures). Everyone says that 'love' at this stage in life, however, is not Love at all. I want to know a) if anyone here has been able to last since their teen years (I want to know if its possible! My parents never had a happy marriage and that scares me into thinking I'll always be as discontented with my relationships as they both were) and also b) if a long distance relationship (but seeing eachother at regular intervals) has ever, ever worked.
Thanks :)

my parents met in highschool and immediately started going out. my mom was 14 and my dad was 15 when they started dating. they've only taken a break once, when my dad went to college because they thought it wouldn't work but they couldn't do it so they got back together. They got married and have been together ever since, and there are no signs of divorce. My mom is now 44 and my dad is 45. It is possible.

a) I know a couple who has a kid now and they were high school sweethearts. So yeah, it can definitely work.
b) I tried a long-distance relationship once. It didn't work. But that wasn't because of the distance, I was groing apart with him before that.
I don't think these type of relationships work but who knows?
