Dear Cupid,

Hey. So I'm fifteen years young and crazy in love with this guy.. let's call him Bob. The thing is my parents made me break up with him (he's in college) and I havn't seen him for months or heard from him. I missed him so much. Then put of the blue he called me the other night and confided in me how much he still misses me and loves me and how he even broke up with his current girlfriend because it was too painful for him becuase I was all he thought about.I really want him back, he's all I think about and all I want. I know I'm young but everything about him just feels so.. right. The thing is he won't be back for a while, if I'm everyu lucky enough to see him again. So my question is.. how do I get over being in love? or how do i control my feelings for him and move on with my life?

xoxo Jenny

Hate to say this, but breaking up doesn't get any easier as you get older!

Best advice: stay active, if you can--walk the dog, join a walking group, do day-trips with friends, try a hobby, go the library and take out an armfull of books and read them all, eat nutritious food, listen to music... do anything to keep your mind from dwelling on him.

Time really does heal wounds. And you'll meet more guys. Just get through day by day. Good luck!

By the way: JasonX-- you have great hair! :)

Hey, Jenny,

I understand that this can be very hard, but your boyfriend is in college now and no matter how much you miss each other, you're in two different worlds. I know the terrible feeling (my boyfriend is leaving for college today as well), but considering your age, you would probably be better off dating boys a few years younger anyway. Make plans with friends, spend time with family, go for a walk. Try not to think about it, and you'll heal. Maybe someday when you're both older you two could pick up where you left off, but for now just live in the moment and enjoy being young! Good luck.

Accept reality for what it is and resume facing the challenges that face you everyday. No use in pondering how things can be different...you have to make the changes yourself and well..you are 15..you have your whole life to look forward too.

Take care and good luck
