          -Jada

Answer
Jada,
This is a very interesting situation you find yourself in.  You have just started to date this guy and now you're not going to see him for two months.  These two months could do one of two things: 1. bring you two together and make your relationship extremely strong, or 2. pull you two apart and end the relationship prematurely.  I can't really tell you which way it is going to go because I do not know you two and I really don't know much about the situation.  If you add some information about your relationship with him I may be able to take a stab at which way it will go.

As for the phone issue there is really no way of telling.  I'm going to go ahead and assume, correct me if I am wrong, he is probably going to a sleep-away came and, if so, he probably is telling the truth.  If he is going to a camp try and get the address and write him, he would really like that.

If you need any other advice I would be more than happy to help,
David

Expertise

I'm a guy and I have been through it all. I specialize in dating friends and dating with somebody with overprotective parents, mainly because of the experiences I have had with both. I can pretty much help you through anything because it is similar to what I am experiencing now.

Experience

My experience is mainly through trial and error. I have also taken a mediation class, at school, and we learned how to talk to people and guide them through tough situations.

Organizations
I am really involved in the AIDS program at my school, we go around to other schools and teach the kids about how to prevent themselves from contracting HIV/AIDS. It is a really rewarding program.

Publications
I write for my school newspaper, edited the middle school one for a year and the yearbook too.

Education/Credentials
I'm in High School and have gone through a few different leadership and mediation type classes.
