    Hi i am 16 and my boyfriend is 19 i love him so much and sometimes i feel like he's the only one who actually cares for me. when i am at home every one tries sooo hard to see me cry and when they do the biggest grin appears on their face. i mean i am a good girl i have awesome grades. why cant the one who loves me be allowed to be with me without all the excess drama.

    well.....i have not been in a relationship whereas the boy is way older than me, however, i have been recently in one and i thought it was all together. he moved and we were totally far away from eachother. i thought we were meant to be but we weren't. it's hard trying to be with someone that is far away. being so young, i try to consider using lust instead of love...
