My boyfriend on the other hand has just started a new school and is in eleventh grade, he failed awhile back. We have been dating for almost a year now, and things are starting to get rough, I cant make up my mind to let him free and be abke to party hook up with girls or even date girls in hs. But the big factor is that he doesnt want too. Im not sure if he is saying that because he does love me and wants to be together or if he is scared to be single because we have been together so long. At this point I need some advice thanks :) Reply to this Question

 A two year difference in age is not a big number but when you're under the age of 20 or so it can be a mile apart emotionally. Might be best for both of you to reset your thoughts and maturity clocks. MIght not be what you wanted to hear 'cause "love at your age is so all that but from my far away vantage and having aged a lot more than I ever wanted to, I'm just giving my best advice. Good luck!

 You are done with High school so "High School Drama" should not even apply to you anymore. Evaluate how you feel about him. Evaluate what you want in life, and where you are going. You should have started mapping out your future if you haven't already. You are at a turning point in your life and could go may different ways. Make a wise decision that makes YOU happy. In reality you are lucky to stay in contact with one friend from high school as an adult. College is a whole different story, new life, new set of friends. I stress that you should focus on you and your future because if you aren't careful sometimes waiting for someone else can bring you down or cheat your out of enjoying your personal new phase in life.
