In college you experience a tremendous amount of things. A lot of times the people that I know who have been in high school relationships had a terrible experience. They drag out the first year of college clinging to their "loved" ones while watching everyone else experience life.

How can you have the typical college experience without going out and living it? Come on.......it's a "high-school" relationship.

During high-school everybody is too young and immature to get caught up in a serious serious relationship. They are not able to handle it. I get tired of little sixteen year old girls saying "oh, I have found the love of life". What are you talking about!!? How could you base what love is in the little time that you have lived. You have no other experiences to compare it to and physically you are not mature. How can you be a totally mature person when you have so much growing up to do?

That is what college is...the period you rise up and lose your youth and naitivity. It a painful experience and a rewarding one. Let her have the experience to enjoy life and grow. A tree and plant cannot grow in a box. It needs space to stretch it's leaves, oxygen to breath, and the sun to realize how beautiful life is.

I'm sorry but statistically high school relationships never work out. I'll admit that there are special occasions when it does work but the chances are slim. In a country where our divorce rates have increased above 50%. The reason being is that people in a couple years into their relationship do not realize that the circumstances are that they are no longer in love with the person but the stability, length and comfortability.

You will waste the best years of your life. Ask yourself this "if I am so certain and secure with my relationship why do I need to see her so much".

Real love is not having the person there and still be able to realize how special they are without having to see them.

Hopefully you are one of those special view in the statistics of heart break.
