I agree with Southern Belle that you should finish your school, and go to college. you said you're 17, and i think you're too young to get married anyway. you haven't even enjoyed your life fully yet. if you guys have a good relaionship, and if you think you can take long distance relationship without in contact for at least a year, go for it. maybe you can keep in touch with e-mail even if it's not over the phone, don't waste your time by worrying about everything too much, school is more important. if he's still here, enjoy each other's company instead of worrying what's going to happen and what's not going to happen. if you guys are meant to be together, you'll figure out a way. goodluck
