Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)

Ok, so my best friend is with her second boyfriend ever. The first one only lasted a couple weeks and it wasn't really serious. She has been with the one she's with now since December. Well, they are wicked, wicked serious about each other and I've come to accept that and even be happy for her because she's finally happy again. But this has kinda started to get too far. Her boyfriend asked her to marry him when they become of age and she pretty much said yes. I guess I'm kinda concerned that she's throwing her life away over her second boyfriend. But the major problem with me comes from the age. I'm only 14/f, she's same as me, and he's 15/m. It freaks out alotof our friends because true love at this age is so rare. Do I talk to her or just stay out of it? Am I just jealous?
Hey!
Alright, first of all I don't think you are jealous... but on the other hand, do you think you might be? It is possible that you are a LITTLE jealous, which is totally ok! Who doesn't get jealous of other people and what they have every now and then? Don't worry about that.
As far as your friend's relationship goes, I wouldn't worry about it if I was you. It is her business, and if she is happy with this guy then let them be, and see if things change over time. Even if she stays with this guy for the rest of her life (which is not very likely), it doesn't mean she is throwing her life away. You don't have to have 100 boyfriends to have a good life... you just need to find the right one. Some people find that person on the first try, and others never do... it just depends. I have a friend that has been with her boyfriend for 7 years... since she was 13 years old! And they are very very happy together!
Those two are not getting married any time soon. It is all just talk. My bf and I always talk about that, and we are 20... just because we talk about it, it doesn't mean we are going to do it any time soon. Things like that take time. Every couple always says they will get married. Your friend has been in this relationship for a few months... that's not long at all. Their relationship is still in the easy stage... things will get harder. If they can make it through, then great, and if not then it wasn't meant to be. If she is happy though, let her be. Unless he is abusive or unless she has changed in a bad way because of him, I wouldn't say anything to her about it. There is no need, and she might get mad and take it the wrong way. :) Let me know if you need more help!
