I'm not talking about your regular puppy love high school relationship here. I'm talking two people who truly care, love, protect, and guide one another. What are the chances of high school love surviving, high, or low? What are the chances of someone, at the age of 16, meeting the person they want to be with for a really long time possibly a lifetime partner?

It's rare. People of that age are (I know they hate to hear it....) still immature and growing emotionally and even physically. The human brain continues to grow and mature until the age of 21. It is hard to stay the same and keep the same ideals in life. What is important to you at 16 is WAY different than at age 25.(That is the same reason why I am against young people and tattoos)

No matter what happens with your relationship, you will carry this person with you for eternity. You most likely will find new loves throughout your life, but will always think back on that person. I have known many who were married after falling in love in high school, but they seldom worked out for the long haul or sometimes go on a hiatus only to rediscover each other again later in life. The experimentation with your love, sex life and what you learn from your future relationships to come will help mold you and in turn make you a stronger and more rounded person.
Give this love a go and if you are serious about each other like you say you are, then consider enrolling in the same college and see where life takes you from there. If you can survive that, get good grades and manage to stay devoted then the rest of life will be an awesome ride.

It would be hard for a relationship from high school to last. Your in a time of your life were you are still trying to figure out who you are. Usually relationships from high school either end up failing soon after graduation or, they get married and divorce some years down the line.

I'm married to my high school sweetheart. I fell in love with him at the age of 14, and I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.
BUT...
In order for all of that to happen, we got married...we got divorced...we married other people. We met again later...
This time, we've been married for just over 2 years. It's absolutely wonderful. But we both had a lot of learning and growing up to do before we could make it work forever.
Yes, I knew at 14 I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. But for it to work, we had to start that "rest of my life" thing later.
Good luck. :)

well, usually couples at younger ages do not last simply because they usually go through a rebellion fase. In fact my first marriage failed because she was only 21 and decided she wanted to go out and have fun after we got married. Of course beforehand she acted like she cared for me and everything but you never know. We went to marriage counseling and the psychologist said that she is going through a rebellion fase.
Usually once they go out and party it up (like through their college years) they will have done what they needed to and gotten it out of their system. If they don't it will be pent up and when they are older it will all break out. Would you like to be in your 40's and have a wife that wants to go to parties, smoke weed, and so on and so forth
But now you have to sit through them going through this fase in college (they don't have to go to college but still party it up) and they might do something they regret while in this state of rebellion that you couldn't forgive.
So in conclusion I find it's best to go for the older women that have already gone through this and are looking for a serious relationship and someone to settle down with.

they can if you are in love but sometimes they wont not all relationships last but some do no matter what age group there is a 50% chance of lasting and a 50% chance of losing it....either way you have to go with it and test your chances

It can happen, but you have to be realistic. Chances are at least one of you will wonder what its like to be in relationships with other people. As you grow older things will change, as will your taste in partners.
If you are dedicated to each other theirs no reason why it can't work, but be prepared for things to change.

it is possible but I doubt it. People need to experience different people so they'll know what they truly want in a partner. Good Luck.
