Darby answered Friday August 7 2009, 5:57 pm: I've had boyfriends go to jail for a month or so before, never six months though. I don't think you understand how difficult that will be. It's not like he can call you up to see how you're doing or hang out with you or anything. Going to see him in jail will just make it harder for both of you because you'll see what your relationship is missing out on.
I'm not even going to get into the part where you're a fourteen year old dating an 18 year old that's in legal trouble. You're old enough to know the situation and why that's bad.
The only thing you can do to stay together is write each other often. He can get a calling card while he's in there, if he has the money to. He can talk to you for a few minutes that way. You could also go for visits, if you want to. I'm not sure how it will be looked upon for someone in jail to have their fourteen year old girlfriend coming for a visit.
Basically, just write each other often. Tell him what you've been up to and don't fall for anyone else while he's in there.

He's a little too old for you, dont you think...you really dont need to be with a guy who goes to jail, its not good for you nor the relationship.

annon answered Friday August 7 2009, 2:53 pm: Depends what he's in for. if its only a minor offence (petty theft i guess :s) then you can help him through it when he comes out. Depending on the circumstances and his natural nature you will probably be the only one that he will listen to.
But on the other hand your 14??? i know im not the first to think this if any one else is reading or answering this question but maybe it would be more suitable for you if you looked for a guy in your age range? also depending on what your BF did would you consider yourself safe to be with him? Think of your saftey first. Other than that im not sure what else to advise this is a very.. uncommon situation hopefully the other adviser's are of better help than I?
