llifton agony aunthell, if you believe in the bible, you believe we are all related! all descendents of good ol' adam and eve. sisters even slept with their fathers, etc. it was a free-for-all back then. sleeping with your third cousin is nothing compared to what went on then!

you're going to do a lot of changing in the next ten, twenty years of your life. well more accurately, you'll be doing a lot of changing until the day you die. that's what life is all about - learning and changing. life experiences mold your opinions and ideas about the world around you. what you think now, will NOT be what you think in ten years from now. and so on for the rest of your life. take me for example. i'm 29 and when i look back on when i was a lot younger, i'm amazed at how dumb i was, haha. no seriously. i was an idiot. no body could tell me anything because i already knew everything. especially my parents. my dad was always such a drag. he would always tell me what i should and shouldn't do for my own good. i always huffed and puffed because i knew best. but something crazy happened when i turned 25. i realized everything he ever told me was *gasp* right. and if i had just listened to him, my life would have been so much easier. but then again, that's what youth is all about. learning things the hard way and gaining your own knowledge. adults like to tell kids what to do because they've been through it and know better. they really do. but we aren't doing anybody any justice by not letting them learn from their own mistakes the hard way. the hard way sometimes means royally fucking up. but hey, at least you know never to do it again! so what i'm saying is to take this in stride. adults don't know everything. but we know a lot because we have more life experience. and that's what we speak from. so try not to get offended.

do what you want to do. you came on here for opinions, right? that's what everyone is giving. we don't have to agree with you. it sounds like you already know what you want to do. so don't worry about what anyone else says. no sense in wasting your time asking others what you should do when you don't care to hear a different perspective than what matches yours.

good luck to you.

No matter anybody say in this life time. People r going to do what in the hell they want in the mean wild! I'm not trying to mean but god said not to date ur siblings or first cousins. That how Adam Ana eve came in place. I hate that people don't think that us teenage don't know bout love. I think I have that feeling u know. It just hurts that older ppl think they know it all but we know to. I'm sorry if I'm being nasty about it..:\

Dionee' agony auntIts quite clear that regardless of what we say you're going to do as you please so go ahead, just know that as llifton has already said, it sure as hell won't sit right with your family. However if you don't mind all the drama dating your cousin will cause and if you think you can handle it, go ahead but don't cry when things turn sour one day.

Do what's best for you in the long run, not what you would like right now.

Goodluck

llifton agony auntI think its illegal in a large handful of States. Not all. Hey, do what you want to do, sweetie. If it makes you happy, then no one has a right to judge. Just know it's never going to sit well worth your family. Good luck.

llifton agony aunti can never really figure out or understand how all the first, second, third, or thrice removed cousin crap works. but a good rule of thumb is never to date your cousin. period. that's your family, girl. it's a no no. lol. you're young. just let this one go and you'll move on. not to forget to mention that it's gonna cause a lot of family drama. and make family reunions quite interesting! find a guy who's not related to you.
