Hey guys, It's kisses. I know there are a few of you out there who give really good advice, so i'm hoping you'll help me as well.
I've been going out with my boyfriend since December of 2003. I see my friends go out with people and break up with them soon after. I know i'm deeply in love with my bf, but i'm wondering this: i'm only 15, am i too young to be in a serious relationship. We havent done anything like sex or anything yet, we're taking it just right. But i'm just wondering because people ask me how can i be with someone for so long, and there's only one answer. I say it's because i love him and i'd die for him. He's the only one who's ever really cared about me and i don't know what i'd do without him.
My real question is this: should i let other people tell me it's too long, or should i stick with him because i know deep in my heart that if i ever lost him, i wouldnt be the same. I know this is a stupid question and you're all probably going to tell me to stick with what my heart tells me, which is to stay with him for as long as possible, but what should i do when other people tell me i'm too young to know what love is? I'll admit that i'm not thinking about spending the rest of my life with him as of right now, but i do know that i love him and i shouldnt have to prove it to anybody but him...Thank you so much you guys, you're always there for me!

Hey, yes well you're right, everyone probably is going to tell you to stick with your hearts feelings.. And that's the same with me, because if you let other people tell you what you're feeling then you'll never be able be yourself, and you'll become to dependent on someone elses opinion that there will be no point in being in a relationship if you aren't true to yourself first. I know it sounds selfish, but you have to know yourself as a whole before you can ever truly be in such a relationship that strong. And well in my opinion i have read the advice you've given and you seem to know yourself pretty well. So i say hey "you can know love deep in your heart even at 15, as long as you understand yourself to, keep an open mind, and be aware of what your bf feels to, if you can cope with all that, then there's no problem!" Just tell anyone who says you're to young to love this: "My love cannot be explained in a few words, and it cannot be defined, love is a feeling, love is something everyone feels sooner or later, and love is different for every person, the same love cannot be repeated twice, it is always changing, and every person will fell it when their heart is ready." As long as you truly feel that in your heart you should be able to say it to anyone who passes without hesitation. Even try saying it to your bf. Being true to your feelings and then showing them to the one you truly love will help you stand to those who don't understand. Eventually they will know what it's like.
Just so you know, i've taken this exact same situation from my own experience, except this person didn't know i was in love with him, so in fact it was even more difficult. well I hope everything goes well, and i hope that i didn't overwhelm you with this long reply.. Please tell us what happens! (if anything) Love from a friend,
