I'm 16, can a relationship at 16 last? I surfed the web and the only thing that the web says is that the relationships at 16 wont last forever, it will only last for maximum 2 years. Can someone please give me tips. Also, i know that feelings come and go in a relationship, but the thing is that my feelings go too often. We are together since 4 months. My honeymoon phase ended after a month or two, after then, the fluctuations of feelings coming and going have been a lot. Please help😔😔😔

im also 16 struggling with the same thing :[[ but! i have 2 friends that have been dating since middle school!! and are both juniors in highschool now and have an amazing trusting relationship. it might be hard to believe but highschool romances CAN work out :]] its hard not to doubt yourself and your relationship with your partner after the honeymoon phase, but its normal to feel a bit different after that ends. have hope!! :D i hope that could help a little

@raj123 ofc!! whenever you start to notice youre getting anxious or you start obsessing, just try to remember that not everyones relationship is the same!! it might not work for others but that doesnt mean it wont work for you :]]

Yes. It can last. I’ve been with my boyfriend since we were 16 and 17. My ROCD started 3 months into the relationship. We are now 27 and 28! ROCD still flairs up sometimes, but anything is possible if you want it enough.

I’ve been with my fiancé since we were 16, and we have been together for 11 years now.

In my opinion it depends on the two people and what they desire in the future. I’m in high school myself and I’ve been in a relationship from 12-15 which was 3 years however stuff happened and that’s the past. However I do know people who dated in middle school who are still together senior year of high school and I know people who are older and have been together since high school. There is never a possibility that it won’t happen
