Blue_Angel0316 agony aunt Beware of a sheep in wolves clothing! If you are 10-12 then he is 17-19 correct? My adivce is to wait for having a realtionship with someone this age other than a simple friendship. Do not meet with this person alone because if they have already enticed you to meet them in person you are headed for disaster! At your age he is much to old for you!

Having a great deal of internet expierence I can tell you that not everything said and done across this virtual world is safe. When you are older and more experienced you will find this out. I have been talking via of internet just 3 months shy of 9 years. Tbere are alot of men out there who prey on young women like yourself. Please think about your safety first!

Any man of his age who wants to be involved with a girl of your age in other than simple friendship could be looking to engage you in anything. Young girls are being kidnapped, murdered, rapped and forced into sex rings or prostitution. Many are severly abused or neglected. Sometimes they are beaten, starved,left to sleep on floors in the cold or made to run the streets in prostitution or something even worse. Some become pregnant with no idea how to take care of a child because they are only children themselves.

I am sorry my words seems harsh here and if it scares you but I hope you will think about what I have said. I am a Grandmother with a 12 year old granddaughter. I would tell her the same thing. I want you to know that I care about what happens to you. PLEASE DON'T LET SOMEONE TAKE YOUR INNOCENCE AWAY!!!!

If you want a b/f hon find someone closer to your own age and if it is male affection you are seeking please be careful about where you look for it. It can cause you a lifetime of misery. If this is the case talk to someone like your school counselor, pastor or another adult that you trust. May God bless and keep you always. You are an Angel.

Collaroy agony auntHe's most likely going to try and meet you. If this happens please tell your parents and hopefully they will call the police.

No 17 year old boy wants to start a platonic relationship with a 10-12 year old girl. I'm sorry it just doesnt happen in the real world . You have to accept that his motivations are not friendship.

Please tell your parents about this boy.

A reader, anonymous, writes (23 October 2007):

Assuming that the 17 year old is a sexual stalker who wants to get into the pants of this 10-12 year old girl, then sure, that sort of thinking is alright. However, the part about having some form of relationship with him is illegal is not accurate at all. Sexual relationship is illegal, but a friendship isn't.

Mind you, seeing this guy in person can possibly put you at risk. Anyone can say anything. So if you still want to see this guy, bring a friend along, a few would be good. Maybe an older friend would be better as well.

Let's put it this way: you can never really be too safe, but there is always a risk of being a bit trusting.

A female reader, Erica F South Africa +, writes (23 October 2007):

Please don't continue speaking to him. Legally if he has a relationship with you would be considered illegal and is child abuse. Speak to someone within your own age group.

Being with him would put you under unnecessary pressure which you don't need at this point in your young life.

Keep well
