Can long distance relationships work?
Me and my boyfriend are in a long distance relationship. I'm 14 and he's 16, we've been together for 8 months. We barely ever get to see each other (4 times a year if we're lucky) and find it really hard (but not impossible) to be in this relationship. We love each other very much and our love for each other grows every day. We really want to make this work. People keep telling me that long distance relationships are stupid or hopeless and sometimes I find it hard not to believe them, but in about 2 years we could probably see each other whenever we wanted to.
So what I'm asking is: Can long distance relationships work? Or am I too young to even be in one? Should I just find someone that lives closer to me even if I don't love them as much? And If I feel as though I've found the perfect person for me, should I stay with them no matter what?
Any help is appreciated
