Can teenage, long distance relationships last?

i have been in a long distance relationship fo 8months now and im a teenager .i met him at a church camp that my cousins attended in another state. i had a boyfriend alredy but we were bound to break up..he was too mushy and lovey dovey BLECH!!back to the story at first i thought he was going to be a jerk because of what my cousins told me about him. when i first saw him i thought OOOO this boy is fine...but a jerk plus one of my cousins liked him. i still remeber the first thing he said to me (i was only 4'9") "how old are you". once he got me to laugh we were cool but when his friend came by us he started to make me laugh too. i ended up liking his friend and broke up with my boyfriend becuz i had found something better. Darius my boyfriend now had a girlfriend at the time anyway but i ddnt know this until we started dating. i liked both boys but one carried me over with his personality. i still had one problem,my cousin liked him.i told her that i liked him and she was a little sad and i felt bad. he started callin me shawty and that made me crazy. after a month of talking after i left that state we started going out and i love him. it has been hard but if you two realy love each other the distance doesnt matter.i get to see maybe twice a month if i get lucky but thats very rare.i never thought i would have a long distance relationship becuz i thought it was pointless without seeing them but i guess i was wrong.

im in that position, but it works for some and not for others, many say it dont because they just think is impossible, depends how much you two are in love

i cant speak for everyone but i can speak for me... mine didnt work he ended up cheating on me, denied to my face, but told a good friend of mine and didnt even know it it didnt hurt when we broke up but its been hard to find someone that likes me for me...

Depends on the teens and just how long a distance we're talking. I could never do it, but some can.

people change alot when they are young and at a very fast rate it will only work if they really love eachother and won't let any thing get in the way.

it depends the relationship , communication between distances and commitment between 2

maybe.... it depends if the girl is a slut.. or whatever.

There just has to be that hope and determination to stand by what your fighting for

well i am in one at the moment and it has lasted for a fair while and still is lasting, so theres ur answer!!

yes anything is possible

It's rare, but it's possible.

It's been my experience that long distance romance is only a romantic notion. People look for the touch of another and soon forget about the other .Absent from the heart too long makes the other heart wander.

If they're mature enough to handle it.

I'm a grown-up (most of the time!) and I believe teenagers really do fall in love and that their feelings are very intense.

My own teenage long distance romance just didn't work. My boyfriend was a little older than me and I was a little naive to think he'd stick around waiting for me to graduate high school and move back!

We got back in contact on Facebook at one point and it was really nice. We will always love one another and talk occasionally, but it just wasn't meant. He's moved on and married now.

Well it's good to know that you guys are still friends (:

The best . . . if he ever needed anything, I'd be there for him and he for me (within limits -- he is married!). Good luck to you . . . romance is tough sometimes!

I've already figured that one out for myself lol thanks! (:

To make a long distance relationship last you need really strong and true love. It is highly unlikely for you to fall in love as a teenager

Well I disagree entirely, but thanks for answering (:

it really depends on what each person wants and needs in a relationship. Almost all do not last, with teenage love or long distance, but they can if you are both on the right track and are meant for one another....

"1. Teenage relationships almost never last. and
2. Long distance relationships almost never last"
................................
Almost doesn't count. End of story.

Statistically speaking, it is not very likely. It is possible, though.

i've been in one almost 7 months

Good for you (:

:) we are very happy in it... it just requires more trust

It can if you truly love them.

i dnt think so cuz things can happen

What kind of "things?"

i dunno cheating, lies, and other things

That can happen in any relationship, not just long distant.

well its most likely to happen when your not there though

Maybe

Just to let you know, those things happen in relationships that aren't long distance too. Distance doesn't always mean that those "things" are gonna happen. If you are faithful, then it's not a problem (:

well yeah that is truee, but i feel like if were not together then that person would cheat i dunno its the way i feel

Well that's life lol Doesn't mean you can't get through those things together, even if you are physically apart (:

yeah thats true.. but i feel like the person would cheat cuz im not physically there

Well I have faith in my partner. If you are suspicious that they will cheat, obviously the trust factor isn't there, and your relationship isn't going very far!

well yeah that is truee thats whyy idnt have long distant relationships..

I been in long distance relationships before. My longest one was two years, but than we started drifitng so we broke up. But we got plans on meeting each other soon enough

That's good (:
