Dear Panel,

I am 16 years old and am in a very serious, special relationship with my boyfriend. In January I am leaving to study abroad in France for six months. I'm excited for the oppurtunuity but all I can think about is leaving my boyfriend. I want to stay together but I don't know if he does. I don't know how guys feel about that. I know it's a long way off but it's already consuming my thoughts. I just really love him and I don't know how to talk to him about it, and how to deal with it if he doesn't want to stay together. I know he loves me also, I just don't know the sacrifices he's willing to make.

Leaving too soon
