well i am in love with my moms cousins youngest son.. is that wrong and can we be and what are the chances of deformity??

STORY

i know what you guys think your too young to know what love is but one of my favorite sayings "you dont know what going on in my head or you dont know what i feel towards him..." every time i see his picture, hear him talking to me, see him, near him, or even think about him i get butterflies.. i always wish i was adopted or that he was because i thought it was wrong in till i figured something out

my fathers parents are 3rd cousins and he turned out fine...

my teachers parents were i think 2nd cousins and turned out fine..

so i thought its in the genes to like your cousin then school started and i found myself comparing him to every boy that cross my path.. no one was like or better then him.. i told my mom and she isnt bothered at the fact that i like him just the fact that he is a westsider.. if he was different like a jehovah's witness (my religion and proud) then she will want me to marry him O.O..

signed,,,,

love sick..

Hello,

I'm not going to tell you that you don't love him because you might. I am fourteen and I know I love my boyfriend of just over seven months. Although what you described sounds alot like lust.

Lust is where you get the butterflies and tinkles all down your body when you hear there voice. Love is when you have been through the rough patches in a relationship and you come out the other side better off because know matter how much you wanted it all to go away all you really wanted was a cuddle from him but you couldn't get one.

Although you can get lust and love together. Love is a very confusing thing and you are probably not sure how you really feel. There is nothing wrong with liking your 3rd cousin though if thats what you feel. Don't think about children yet though, enjoy your time together and if he's still around in ten years after the rough patches then you know he loves you and then you can start thinking about children.

Live your life first. Good luck.

Tisha-1 agony auntHi, it sounds like a good question to go research in genetics books. Do you have a local library? You could make it a project to find out!

I'm not a genetics expert, so I had a look at Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an online community of people who contribute their knowledge to make an encyclopedia. Because it may not be written by experts, things may not be 100% accurate in there. But it's not a bad place to start.

You can't really help who you fall in love with, but you can think about your actions and the consequences of those actions. You sound like a bright young thing, and I think you'll be fine. Just remember that you have your whole life ahead of you, so don't rush through things too quickly.

Take care.

I cant believe a young girl like you who 13-15 years of age is thinking about children and marriage already you should be concentrating on your school work. It is not wrong to be thinking that though and you are allowed to be in love with your moms cousin there is nothing wrong with that. I would just wait a few years time and see what the future holds because you are at least 10 years away from having children and if you and this boy decide to act on these feelings you will have to think about your family and what they would say because they might not see it as a normal relationship with you kind of being related and could try to keep you away from each other.

Having a child with your second cousin is actually more dangerous than having a child with yur 1st cousin.

Be in love with him, but you are only 13-15. Why are you thinking of children and marriage at your age?

Just relax, be yourself and see what comes in the many years to come.

Well you can be in love with him without having babies.

You are at least 15 years off having kids and anything could happen in that time, so just enjoy being a teen in love and don't worry about things that far in the future.

Good Luck!! xx

Well, miss love sick, I think you're about ten years too young to be thinking about having kids of your own, but the risk of deformity in your case is no more and no less than anyone else in the population.

And no, there's nothing wrong. Jesus' parents were first cousins and he turned out alright too.
