You are making a mistake, but don't worry it won't last long, have some fun and get over it. People your age and his age will eventally gravitate to others with simular interests, I think you would have much more fun with a boy your age don't grow up too fast it fun to be young and sometimes stupid.

The Realist agony auntBe careful with the sexual side, even though you didn't mention sex its always a main assumption.

Maybe you need to break up with him for now and get through high school, see who you meet and what happens. Keep in touch and see what things are like when your eighteen. If you still want to be with him then it was meant to be.

If you stay with him while you are still considered a minor is does put him in danger and he will be forced to constantly prove himself which isn't fair for either of you. Live your life with him as a friend and see what the future holds.

I can see why they would...I'm going to put aside all the laws ect for the moment & just say that my b/f is 13 years older than myself so yeah age gaps can work but I don't think you relize just how far apart 22 & 15 really are.

For a start school life & working life are very different.

You are both at differnt stages of your life,yet you will still be to young to see this.

I speak from the point that I am 22 & relize how much I've changed & grown since 15.

You wont see it now but you will when you'r older that this relationship is not right in many levels not just in the eyes of the law.

They think he is a pervert because he is, when you get to 22 look back at 15 year old girl and you'll realise how wrong it is.

Also as your in America this is statutory rape

dirtball agony auntStop dating him. Your relationship can land him in jail. If you really care about him, then tell him he needs to find someone his own age. He is in the realm of "sex offender" with your relationship. If you do have any kind of sex, and the law finds out, he'll have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, even if he doesn't go to jail. Is that what you want for him?

If he really cares about you, he'll wait until you're legal.
