The only way it will work is if you both are very mature(some adults can't handle that) and very patient. Keep things honest, and that also means staying faithful to each other. That's all I can really say.
I'm not telling you this so you can make your relationship last, but I still wanted to give you something you could do; Screw e-mails and IMs one time, and surprise mail him a sweet letter with a picture in it. That may put a big smile on his face.

Time will tell if you two can stick it out. Over the next 4-5 years both of you will be changing a lot and becoming adults. What is good when you're 17 isn't so good when you're 23. Think of it this way, did you like the same things at 12 that you do now? Hopefully you will mature and grow into adults together rather then apart (and I mean that metaphorically, not literally).

Even if this ends up working out, you two need to spend some time (like a few years) seeing other people first.
You don't want to end up 35 years old and wondering what you missed. I understand that it is important to feel safe and secure, particularly when you are at a vulnerable age like you are. But the you that will exist in 20 years will really think the 17 year old you if you take a few chances now while you are young.

YOU "KIDS" ARE ONLY 16 & 17 YRS. OLD!! Enjoy your relationship even though it is now long distance. However, complete high school (if you haven't already!) and definitely go on to college! Every human needs college these days to survive the HIGH COST OF LIVING!!
If you two are still together, even as friends after graduating college then you are "home free",so to speak and will have a lasting, if not marital relationship! Good luck! Be Happy!

Long distant relationships seldom work out, especially between younger people, like the two of you. You are in the exploratory stage of your lives, and intimacy is a great temptation to raging hormones. This is not to say it will not work out, but the odds are against it, unless you can spend a significant amount of physical time together.

I was in long distant relationship for 4 years and eventually our feeling grew apart because of the distance But I hope it works for you. You two should try to go same college or university so can be closer!

Stay together... but don't put all your eggs in one basket. I'm 33 and believe me girlfriend, we CHANGE A LOT over the years. Its nice to daydream about safety and love and whatnot... but just stay together now without making any lifelong committments!
Sometimes you just want that settled down feeling... and I understand that! I got married at 18 HAHA :) That one didn't last very long.
I say enjoy yourself! Stay true! But don't worry about your 80s when you are 16. Just enjoy your life right now.

if you really want this relationship to work then it will, i know that the long distance thing is hard, im doin that myself...but all you can do is work at it, and it may end up workin out. when i was 18 i was engaged to a guy i dated for many years. we would of been married by now but he got scared and that relationship ended. but good luck :)

Well .. you are still growing and learning what you want to do with your own lives right now .. but if you stay in contact and want to focus on only each other .. then, yes, I believe it could work out. I underscore the word: could. It won't be easy. But I wish you the best of luck ! :)
