Teen long distance relationship got you worried? That?s probably because a lot of people, parents, relatives and even people who are supposed to be your friends, have probably told you that it won?t work. It?s not that they don?t believe in you and your love for your boyfriend or girlfriend, it?s just that they are trying to protect you and they don?t want you to be disappointed. Still if you?re old enough to fall in love and have a relationship with someone else, then you?re probably old enough to handle potential disappointment.
It?s interesting though. People have a rigid belief system when it comes to dating relationships. For instance, when I recently told a friend that I was writing a book on long distance relationships, he said, ?Tried one and it didn?t work.? What these people fail to mention is that they also probably had lots of same-city relationships that did not work, but that doesn?t prevent them from trying one again when someone new comes along. While distance relationships are definitely more challenging and require more creativity than same-city relationships, there are many success stories of students in high school and college who have gone the distance.
Here?s what one advice columnist told a high school student who expressed concerns about what people had to say about the long distance relationship she had planned to have with her boyfriend who was going out of state to attend college:
Teen long distance relationship - some teen are able to go the distance.
You feel in love and you are young. Because of that, people doubt.
College is a time for growing and changing, so people assume that means young relationships are doomed.
The truth is that some relationships make it and some don?t. I?m sure there are many couples who met and married in high school and remain happily in love. You also will meet many people who thought they met their true love in high school but whose relationship ended when they moved apart.
Because you are young, people think they can share their own life experiences with you in hopes of helping you avoid emotional pain. They think if they prepare you for a failed relationship, you will be better off when it happens.
They don?t think of themselves as negative, but rather, realistic. What they don?t realize is that you need to figure this out on your own.

And so that?s what you tell people when they try to discourage you from having a long distance relationship: Thanks for being concerned about me, but I think this is something that my boyfriend and I (or girlfriend and I) need to work out on our own. For now, I?d just appreciate it if you could support me in my decision.
