I'm very sorry that it's taken me so long to get back to this question. I wanted to think about the answer, and then forgot about it.

Anyway, this is a complicated situation. I'm not incredubly sure if I can help you out very much, but I'll try my very best.

Your friend is getting into a dangerous situation. This guy might seem really nice and sweet to her, but he's still quite a bit older. He is going to expect more than a 14 year old should dish out in a relationship.

At 14, she should be having fun with girlfriends and boyfriends should be short and sweet. When she gets involved with an older guy, he is going to expect more. He is older emotionally, as well as physically. If she gets caught up in him too much, she will miss out on some much needed normal, childhood times. Like just hanging out with friends and talking about school and boys and homework.

I say all this because I had a younger girlfriend who was going out with a guy friend a while ago who had this problem. She started dating the guy when she was 13, he was 18. They did not break up until she was 17, and he was 22. She used to tell me about how she wished that she hadn't spent so much time with her boyfriend. She missed out on normal girl stuff.

Now this isn't even starting with the physical aspect of the situation. He is most likely going to expect sex from the relationship, and 14 is quite young to already be experimenting. But, then again, I have no idea how to actually talk to a 14 year old and make them understand that. I'm sure I wouldn't have listened to someone like me when I was that age.


Also... it's great that you want to be there for her and help her out. But you also can't get yourself too far into this situation. You don't want to endanger yourself.

I'm sorry I can't be more help with this. I'm not sure how to get someone to realize that they're in a dangerous situation. To actually get them to get out of the dangerous situation seems to be even harder.

You should ask this question to the entire site. You would be able to get more diverse answers that way. Maybe someone can help better than I have.

Good luck.
