[Apple Orchard Ghost]

My boyfriend is two years younger than me. We got together my senior year of high school when he was a freshman. Now I'm a freshman in college, 200 miles/3.5 hours away. It's definitely hard, because we're at totally different places in our lives. We had a lot of trouble with the transition at first, because he just didn't understand what college was like for me. There's also definitely a maturity issue. I've always been told that I act older than I am, and well, he's sixteen. Sometimes he does stupid things that I don't get because I'm older. It's worked out pretty well though, because in about two weeks we'll have been together for a year. I've also seen one of my friends get completely screwed over though, because his girlfriend was so much older than him.
I think it's one of those things that you can't put a blanket statement on. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. It just depends on the individuals.
