I'm a senior at my highschool and my boyfriend is moving to a different state and that prompted me to question :What percent of Highschool sweethearts actually get married or stay together?

He wants me to go with him and I kind of want to, but I just want to know if it'll be worth it in the long run.

First I graduated in 1971 so things are a bit different. But of all the HS sweethearts I knew only one is still married to this day. Unfortunately I spoke with them a few months back and now they are in the beginning stages of a divorce after 29 years.

Dont do it.. if he's the one then it will happen with out having to rush into it..
I married my H.S. Sweetheart he was 19 i was 18 , I got pg a month after we married.. we had 2 boys by the time i was 20, and he left me for another woman saying that we married to young at age 22.. and he left and never turned back .. not even for the kids..
So dont do it.. u will change alot between now and the time ur 25.. and i dont wish for anyone to go through what i did , please go to college first atleast get a 2 year degree, something u can fall back on if something happens, if he's the one 2 years is nothing compared to the life time ur going to spend together, do it the right way and wait..

I suspect that not many high school sweethearts stay together. It happens but a minority of cases, you see people change after high school. If you really care for this boy you could tell him that you love him but that you want to finish high school and maybe college before you go with him. If it works out good but if not then it was not meant to be. Sounds like you know you have doubts about making the commitment so that should be your guide

If your love was meant to be, then you'll get back together again oneday when the time is right. I wouldn't go with him now, though. I don't know the percentage of highschool sweethearts that stay together, but I do know it is very low. Trust your instincts and consider advice given by family and friends that know you both and then make your decision. Good luck.

My husband and I were highschool sweethearts and got married before I graduated because he was leaving for the army. I had to stay in Arizona to finish school while he went to North Carolina! We are now coming up on our 8th aniversary! If you are meant to be together, it will work. If not, you will live!

My husband and I have known each other since we were toddlers. We started dating when I was in 10th grade and he was in 11th. He went away to college for 1 year. During that year, we broke up and got back together about 4 times. When he came home for the summer we got engaged. We got married that fall and have been married seven years.
However, this isn't true for everyone. Finish school, whatever you do, and trust your heart.

My high school sweetheart, came back in to my life after
23 years, I moved away. We left things un said so tell him
you love him. and maybe you will stay together.
If you love, each other it will work out some how.

I married my high school sweetheart! We started dating when we were juniors, finished high school, went to college, graduated and then got married! Still together after 16 years of marriage.
I strongly recommend that you finish your schooling before marriage though! It is always best to be prepared for your future. Good luck!

It sounds like you really care about this guy. Try the long distance relationship thing and see if that works out if so look into going to a collage or university down there. It can work but you both have to want it to work

It depends totally on individuals.......I think people who are separated & really in love will probably not take their time together for granted. They will actually spend quality time together when they are together. The heart feels what it feels whether near or far, it is whether we choose to realize that it is just a temporary situation. We know who is really right for us....and won't allow lonliness to ruin a wonderful future!
