A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

i am currently going out with a 21 year old and im only 13 (he was 20 when we started seeing eachother) the thing is he hasnt pressured me into anything and ive never felt this way before.

i know about his past and everything ive spoken 2 his cousin n most ov his family and he is staff at my cdts unit -- we are breaking up but i had all of my firsts with him and i lost my virginity to him i know hes not using me because he is in the army and knows that i could dob him in any time.

rumors have been spread around our unit and he has had phone calls relating to me from nosy backstabbing staff who dont no how to let go of the past and hes been put off me. but everyone can see a difference in me but i dont know if its worth trying to tell him i dont want to split and not tell anyone and carry on like it was in the beggining but ive never been like this with anyone and i realy like him but is he worth it?

and should i tell the staff at cadets get him arrested etc jus because hes broken up with me. but i know i should and i know it counts as rape blah blah etc etc but it was all my own choice and e didnt pressure me into a anything, should i let him go knowing i lied to so many people an given up so much 4 him, let him go and tell he staff and my parents or jus try to ocnvince him not 2 break up with me or jus let him go and never realli get over it n get on with my life

He should go to prison, dump him, call the cops, do something about it or else you're gonna get busted and he's gonna have all the credit. I think you should dump him before he gets pissed and cheats on you.

You said that he didn't pressure you into anything then you should definitely not imprison him, and stop trying to get back with him, he is way older than you.

A reader, anonymous, writes (14 April 2009):

you know what, I have read every single response to your situation and all of your responses. ok so here goes you seem to be missing everyones point. 13 years old legally your not old enough to say yes i will have sex with you a 21 year old. military is not the place for him, in my opinion he really needs to be in a box in the ground but that i just my opinion. you can either say goodbye forever tomorrow and walk away and forget him or you can send him to prison with this i love him story. you need to worry about getting out of high school not how many smokes you are going to be giving him in prison if he makes it that long. prison they make child rapest dissappear into thin air. He doesn't love you if he did he could have waited until you were 18 years old to have sex with you. so your not even 16 yet so love my ---. you are a willing young soul. he apparently cant get anyone older because he is preying on babies. if he were my brother he would not come anywhere near my daughter. i hope you make the right choice.

A female reader, wonderingcat United Kingdom +, writes (13 April 2009):

wonderingcat agony auntWhat grade are you in right now, sweetheart? What do you want to do when you finish school? Do you plan to be a full time mother and housewife (that is a 24/7 job mind you!), or do you want to have your independence as a person by having a job outside the home?

In this economy, I'm afraid being a full time mother is actually a luxury, rather than a need or a necessity. But in order for you to have a job that pays well, you would need to finish school. Possibly, continue to college, or a vocational school. It cost money to do that.

My advice is, you should be spending more time with friends your age. Or if you want to be independent as soon as you are legal, learn a trade that will get you a respectable and honest job soon.

If your boyfriend is a good person, instead of having sex with you (the legal term is statutory rape, i'm afraid, as it has been pointed out by others), he should be protecting you, making sure that you have a good education, etc etc etc.

At 13, you should still be having fun at the mall, or arguing with your mum at home from time to time, or giggling like crazy with her, or doing homework with the help of your parents, or even better, discussing this very issue, with your mum [and dad at home]!

Life is hard, as you said. Even us adults still need friends to help us out with our problems from time to time. And we listen to the advice given, and we try to apply the suggestions given to us as appropriate. So please, do take the advice that have been given by so many aunts here. Talk to your parents, school nurse, school counsellor, principal, the Police. They will HELP YOU to report him. Unfortunately, people like him, may continue to rape under-age girls where-ever they are stationed when opportunity arises for them. These have been well documented in countries like the Philippines, Germany, Japan (though not widely publicized).

If you came alone to report him to the authorities, they may not believe you - because you are underage/minor [which means that you need an adult to accompany you].

You do realize that the "aunts" here are upset NOT because of what you did but because of what HE did, right? And if we were all present in a room together, with you, no one will throwing stones at you. In fact, we would all be soo eager to hug you, to protect you from him! That's what loving caring adults do to their underage children/friends/relatives! So call that number ArmyMedic gave you. Involve your counsellor too. NOW!

We are all rooting for you (even though you are a stubborn little girl lol)

After this, please focus on your own well being, and prepare yourself so that you will have a good education, and a good job in the future!

Good luck!

shnookims agony auntYou posted this question, looking for answers and how many people have all said the same thing? It's clear what you really want to do, so why did you bother in the first place?!

The fact is he knew what he was doing is wrong before he even did it! And I'm assuming so did you... But he's 21! And he's in the army! He cheated on you and WANTS to break up!

All I'm saying is think about YOUR furture because he's only thinking of his own now! I'm not telling you what to do becasue you haven't really taken anyone elses advice but there are ways to prove that you did have sex, even meeting up with him and tricking him into admitting it should be considered. All these people who replied to your question are on your side and want you to enjoy your youth and have a good future. Think about it...

ArmyMedic agony auntOk this is my last reply: You obviously don't have the courage to know right from wrong and you are more than happy with the way this Man has behaved! Please either report it or don't but posting "but it is so hard" and "you don't understand" here isn't going to help matters at all.

I don't care if he is a single Dad of 7 with 22 years SAS experience under his belt, at the end of the day he has not met the strict Values and Standards of a British Soldier, he has broken his position of trust as a Youth leader and has broken the Law, and by you doing NOTHING about it makes you as BAD as him!

A male reader, ArmyMedic United Kingdom +, writes (13 April 2009):

ArmyMedic agony auntUtter Rubbish it is as simple as that and I think it will be much safer in prison than in Afghanistan!

He used you because it was easy to use you as you are a child! This Man, should not be allowed to work with cadets or recruits, and certainly cannot be trusted as a British soldier, if he is capable of RAPING a British teenage girl can he be trusted in Afghanistan?

I wouldn't want him in my Platoon, except maybe for mine clearing duties, not only does he have to face fear of death from the Taliban but any parent who finds out he's been having underage sex will likely want to kill him also, (there's a lot of Dads in the Army)!

The kindest thing you can do is report him and let him go to prison at least there he will be safer.

Have the moral courage to stand up and do what is right!

A female reader, jaime90 Australia +, writes (13 April 2009):

jaime90 agony aunti agree and think this is really unhealthy for both of you. Your too young for any of this (you probably dont want to hear it but too young for sex) and if you want to date you should be with a boy your age not a 21 year old man who knows better.

I lost my virginity to a guy i thought i loved at 15 and its the biggest regret i have. I wish i waited because only at 19 can i truly appreciate and enjoy it.

He probably has some serious issues with women and is too insecure that he preys on girls. You might think its different he loves you but honestly when you look at the picture its just not right.

OSCARS MUMMY agony auntHi, i totally agree this guy is way too old for you - but okay hes cheated on you already - because he was pissed????? - he still is only 21 and i'm sure he will be getting pissed many many times in the future and will no doubt cheat on you again - what has he promised never to get pissed again?? rubbish!! please have some self respect and dump him!!!!! No one needs this hassle and especially at your age. You wont have felt like this about anyone - because you are only 13 - you sound old beyond your years and its quite sad. This guy is not worth it - see 3 people (so far) are telling you the same thing. If you stay with him your life will be one boring drama after another.

jessica04 agony auntUm, guess what, you're only 13. If you hadn't met him you would probably still be a virgin. So yes, he did pressure you, even if he didn't sound like he was.

Report this to staff. He is NOT worth it. Nothing against you, but any guy that old who is going after a 13 yr old has issues and is not a good person for you to be around.

Report this and stay away from adult men who want to have sex with barely teenage girls.

And if he broke up with you, then yes, he was using you. You even said he was cheating on you, with who? Another teenager?

He needs to be arrested for statutory rape, and you need to be the one to turn him in. You are most likely not even the first young girl he has done this to.
