Hi there! Hopefully you guys can help me.

My question is: What do I do?

My problem: I have a boyfriend whom I like a lot, possily even really love. He and I have been going out for a year and a few months, much longer than any of my other friends. Unfortunately, I think I may be falling for another guy, a past crush. I met him in third grade and we were just best friends then. I realised that I might actually have a crush on him in fifth grade. Back then I thought that he was the perfect guy; he protected/defended me when others teased or made fun of me, and he was very nice to me, and most of the time only me. I could talk with him easily, but now I'm not so sure. I always freeze up when I'm speaking with him and I can't think strait. I don't want to break up with my boyfriend, but I can't stop these feelings for this other guy.

The fact that you say 'possibly' even love seems to hint that your heart is not really in this relationship. If you are having doubts then maybe something is missing?

Obviously, you don't love your boyfriend if you're falling for another guy. Take a break!

Whoah there girl, you are way too young to worry about breaking up with a boyfriend...at your age, you should be having boys that are friends, period....it is pretty normal to have crushes on many different guys, keep yourself unattached and enjoy the attention and friendship of all your classmates....and focus on your studies, not on being in love, you are way too young to be so concerned about that anyway...enjoy being a young girl, please! Your "boyfriend" does not own you and he should not be hurt if you like another just as well, you should try to all be just friends, without the labels, tell him you like him very much, but want to spend time with other people as you have every right to do.
