I am 17, living in New England.
I have a brother (6) and a sister (11) and two parents who I get along with really well. (it's not always easy!)
I like writing poetry and music. I play piano and guitar (and a little bass). I love reading, shopping, and being stupid with my friends and my boyfriend.
I like giving advice because I love writing, connecting with people, and sharing things I've learned.
Ask me anything and I'll try and help! :-)
Some areas of expertise: long distance relationships (my boyfriend is 3 states away at college!), family stuff (I have learned how to tame parents, haha!), messy breakups, makeup tips, and anything about clothes!

Age isn't as big of a factor as it can be made to be. In my opinion, the gap between you two is no big deal as long as you're compatible.
Remember a couple of things:
1) The reason younger guys with older girls is less common is because guys often mature slower. I'm not trying to make you feel like a loser, but be sure to evaluate how equal you both are in maturity. :-) It's a good idea for ANY relationship.
2) Her life will be changing drastically in the next couple years. She will be graduating high school, possibly going onto college or something else. Either way...it could be a problem. She will be on her own and you will still have a lot of high school left. It could make things hard, but it has definitely been done...so just assess whether you two are up to the challenge. Don't let this put a damper on things but be realistic and keep your heart unbroken if possible!
Lastly...TALK TO YOUR PARENTS! I am so glad you mentioned this, because they are there to help you out (even if it seems otherwise) and telling them is a good way to get some input on the situation. Don't try and make it a big deal, just tell them you're digging this girl and that she's a little older than you. Hopefully they will understand and have some advice or help for you too. It also is good to give them a heads-up. Parents hate being the last to know, and if they are, they will be more likely to react badly to the situation. You being upfront and wanting their consent and advice will show them that you're mature and responsible.
Good luck!
