I fancy this boy. This boy is my auntie's boyfriend's son, so kind of my cousin. He is also four years older than me but I can't stop thinking about him. I know it's wrong and I am underage but it's not illegal in the uk. I couldn't possible tell anyone let alone him. He also gives the impression that he likes me too, when I see him( which is alot). Neither of us are religious so don't five me that shit. I am 13 and confused as to my feelings, HELP!

celtic_tiger agony auntI think you should learn a bit more about the laws relating to sex in the UK. You could well be putting yourself at serious risk, not only from sexual diseases, and underage pregnancy (which could harm you as you are not yet physically developed yourself), but also from emotional and physical damage.

You need to get your facts straight before you embark on an adult relationship.

What happens if you have underage sex?

The law sees it as sexual assault - it's a criminal offence. This is because in the eyes of the law we are unable to give informed consent to sex when still a child.

1. A boy who has sex with a girl under 16 (17 in NI) is breaking the law. Even if she agrees.

2. If she is 13-15, the boy could go to prison for two years.

3. If she is under 13 he could be sentenced to life imprisonment.

4. A girl age 16 or over who has sex with a boy under 16 can be prosecuted for indecent assault.

celtic_tiger agony auntIf you are 13, and he is 17, he is almost a grown adult. This means that if anything WAS to happen, it would be 100% illegal. As you are still underage, he would be classed as a paedophile, regardless of whether you wanted it to happen or not.

Legal age of consent for sex in the UK is 16, this is ANY kind of sexual contact, touching, oral sex, penetrative sex.

No normal 17 year old guy would be remotely interested in a 13 year old girl. What you are feeling is a crush, and we have ALL been there. There is nothing wrong with it, but you have to understand it is not real, and it is not reciprocated.

You are just feeling the first flush of hormones, and your body is getting used to all these new emotions, and it will settle down.

ShelbyS01201 agony auntYou are just a bit infatuated right now, and soon the feeling will pass. You simply have a crush on him, but there are so many other boys out there for you. One thing to be aware of is that boys give out false signals like broken alarm systems. He might just seem to like you because you wish him to. Your mind is almost playing you into thinking that every little move he makes is a sign of attraction; dont fall for it. This little hurricane of emotions will surely pass, and you'll fancy someone else. Good luck!
