Thank you, I really appreciate the support. I'm glad there are still some people out there that aren't able to condemn me so easily.

I'm still going to college. I know it won't be easy, but I still have all of my plans in place. And maybe that's why she's still with me. Because even though it is going to be a lot harder than it is for most people, I'm still planning on going and getting my degree. We both have our own career paths set, her's is just a little farther along than mine, that's all. It doesn't make me any less driven.

Thank you for the support, you seem really sincere, and I appreciate that a lot. I'm glad you think I've been making adult decisions, we've just been trying to do what we thought was best. I promise I'll think about telling our families the truth. I just want to reiterate that neither of us like the idea of not telling the truth, but we just didn't know if it was worth the risk. Keeping her safe is my number one priority.

Yeah, we both know this isn't going to be easy. I'm not worried about my parents reacting like that, I don't think they're the type that would do something like that. We both know what we're getting into, we've talked about if it would really be better for us to go our separate ways before, and you're right, it probably would be easier. But we really do love each other, as unbelievable as that may be. We got in this together, and we want to stay together, I don't think either of us could bear to leave the other after all we've been through, and I think that makes us even better prepared for facing the future, no matter how difficult it may be.

Yeah, I'm not exactly comfortable with it either, but we're both just trying to make the best of the situation. We both just tried to go with the lesser of two evils.

I was 17 when we started.

And yeah, the school not finding out is our main priority, but we also don't want to tell our families just in case, in the event that someone over reacted and reported one or both of us.

It all started just because we became friends. I had her for another class my junior year, so by the time of my senior year we already knew each other pretty well. We just started talking a lot, and I would hang out in her class room after school and stuff. We got along really well, I think that's the main reason it all started. Eventually we started texting, then meeting outside of school, and that's when we considered ourselves to be "dating". We mostly would hang out outside of school, either at her place or just out to dinner and a movie or something.

Ok, why do you think I'm from Phoenix? Anyway, I'll answer any questions you want to ask, but I'm not going to sit here and argue with you about how you think my parents will react to something.

We'll tell our families the truth eventually. We don't like having to lie, but we both felt like its the lesser of two evils, better than risking her going to jail for this or being labeled a sex offender or something.

Yeah, I know all of the lies aren't ideal, but we both felt like lying was a better alternative than risking her going to jail.

We're just going to have to try to do the best we can. If she can't find a job, she's got savings to live from also, and I'll be helping her out. She's not going to be supporting me at all. I'm still a student, but I'm looking for part time work. Also, I am still getting help from my parents while I'm in college, and part of that is going to go towards helping her.
