People will always think the worst; there's nothing you can to about that. As long as you and your beau stick to the same story (that nothing is going on) you'll be okay. Hold your head up and walk past the busy-bodies.

well i can understand why people will be worried becuase guys of that age are usually only interested in sex and people may be worried that he will try to pressurise you into this! if you have found a guy that is happy to wait and treats you well then by all means continue the relationship! just make sure that you dont engage in sexual activity until you are old enough and completely ready! and at such a young age you dont need to be worrying about relationships, you need to enjoy your youth while you can!xxx

Trust your gut. If you think it's wrong, then there's something there that is making you think that.
The big problem with an age difference like yours (which 20 years from now would be nothing) is how quickly you change at this age. 3-4 years right now is huge. And at 16 he's going to want to be more physical than is right for you right now.
If you still want to be with him, make him wait until you're older before you get physical. Your body, your rules. And if he cares for you, he'll wait for you. Any boy who wants to rush you wants sex more than he wants you; remember that for the future.
Remember to trust your gut. Good luck hon.

Hey hun! the fact that you have to ask us if this is wrong and you say that you think it is wrong makes me wonder whether you are feeling comfortable in this relationship.
Your still very young so try not to concentrate too much on relationships, enjoy being a child while you can...there is plenty of time for guys when you are older!
but in answer to your question...as long as you are not having a sexual relationship then there is nothing illegal about the two of you being together. However if you feel that this is wrong, then dont be together!
The legal age for sex in the UK is 16 so if you do have sexual activity with this boy before you are 16 years old then he could get into very serious trouble as this is considered rape!
Mail me if you want to chat further hun!
