I cant remember crying over physical pain...and that's saying a lot after my snowboarding accident last year which was rather impressive...I got at least 12 feet of air, totally cleared the landing area, flipped upside down and landed on my face/shoulder on the flat part. It was the worst pain ever, I stood up and just fell back over when I blacked out from the pain. They said they had NEVER seen anyone get that high off of that jump, it was something crazy. The first thing I asked was if they got it on video (no

) Back to the topic though...My girlfriend can make me cry, but very few other things can. Oh, and nametakennow, sometimes young relationships DO work out, or at the very least can last a long time and be quite good. I've been dating my girlfriend since the beginning of her sophmore year/beginning of my senior year. We've lasted through me going to college and I have a feeling I'll be stuck with her for a long time to come

As long as you both approach the relationship the right way, are mature about it, and are both willing to work to keep it going then there is no reason it shouldn't work out unless you just turn out to be incompatible people. Tell the parents to deal with it, it's your life not theirs.
