Yes. The idea of sex, regardless of what ANYONE says, it ultimately up to the individual. I remember in college a health class I took. I HATED IT!!! The idiot who taught us gave us a list of topics and then basically said, "After researching, you will conclude that xxx isn't wise for you to do." Well, I DID agree that those things weren't wise, but I really resented the fact that HE WAS DICTATING what our conclusions were. (I might also add that he didn't allow students to do evals on him because "college students weren't mature enough to critique their professors.") Time apart is always a good thing. It will either bring you closer together, or drive you apart. If it drives you apart, the relationship probably wasn't going anywhere to begin with. Elle seems like she's making some very wise decisions, and showing a great deal of maturity. She'll do very well in college; you've prepared her excellently!
