i would say no. at that age you cant really drive the long distance to see them. as adults its hard but they can at least drive, fly or whatever to see the other one.

No.
It's slim that they work even as adults.
But it's 99% impossible as young teens (13-16)

I hate to say it but rarely ANY relationship at that age works out in the long run. Of course there are exceptions to that rule with high school sweethearts, etc. But by in large the majority of those teenage relationships are fleeting. And the long distance thing is another strike against you, I really hate to say that. That doesnt mean you cant stay in contact with the person and stay good friends, you never know how life will turn out. You never know..

I'd say to let the relationship run its course, if its meant to be it will be in the end. And if its not, well then at the very least you had a learning experience.

No, why dont you grow up first and go to school and "learn stuff" before you try and act like an adult

A lot of teens have been forced to become adults and school today has gone to shit.

Teens force themselves to become adults, they want to act so grown up and be "cool" and they are not. So they go out spread their legs and get knocked up and screw up their whole life. Second, school has not gone to shit, its the kids who fail to use it to their advantage that think that! School and college are a great resource if they choose to use it instead of 'F' off all day and do drugs and have sex at the age of 14 and be worthless. Kids these days are an embarrassment

Yes most of them are but I'm pretty sure that my parents leaving for 3 months with me left to care for 3 younger siblings as a Sophomore in HS is forcing me to grow up. Also I'm a straight A student that has been put up a grade because of my boredom in the classroom and have learned not a damn thing in any of my classes except my college classes I'm taking. Students run the school, teachers are basically paid babysitters (at least here anyways).

I know of several, but they were all in the distant past, in the 1930's.

One example was my Aunt and Uncle fell in love she 16, he 18, then he went away to college, and by the time she went to the same college, he was in the Navy. When he came home, they were married until she died, about 30 years.
