It isn't that wierd at all.
However, you will be in high school soon, and at your age kids can get really mean, for lack of a better word. As long as you understand that it is just how kids are, it really isn't a problem.
In high school I dated a guy a year younger than I was and got grief over it. I didn't let that get to me. Now he is my husband. We have been married over 7 years.
So, If you like him and he is good to you, and he is at your maturity level, then it doesn't matter what other people think. After all, if they are that concerned over your relationship, they must not have very good ones themselves. If they did, they wouldn't have time or desire to criticize you. So, if they are mean, remember that they are probably not as happy as you are.
Another thing to think about is that you will be in high school before he is. That could be awkward for both of you and then it could put a bit of tension between you. In that case, I would suggest talking to him to see what he thinks.

in high school people make a big deal about it
but really, its not a big deal at all
some parents are 5 years apart so its no big deal

Well, to me, I've always thought couples should be either the same age, or the boy should be older. But that's how we've all grown up to that on television and in real life and everything, so that's just what I'm used to.

But otherwise, yeah I think it's perfectly fine for you two to date. You both like eachother and have a great time together ; that's all that matters. Anybody else who says anything is probably just jealous you have a guy and they don't. So who cares what others say. Just push it out of your mind as best as you can, and have fun with your boyfriend!


I hope I helped.

In my opinion boys should be older than the girls. In the scheme of a lifetime if he wuz an 8th grader and you were the 6th grader it would be perfect in my eyes, because most husbands and wives arent the same age, but i think its because your older that its odd, but hey thats just me.

BitsandPieces answered Wednesday October 11 2006, 11:27 am:
It is fine, if you enjoy each other's company. People do judge us by the company we keep and they will be curious about the age difference. Some people are very threatened by anything out of the normal. If you cannot handle this, then explain it to your boyfriend. He needs to know if you dump him, it was not his fault. If you can handle the thought that others may disapprove, then don't spend all your time wasted on wondering. People are usually self-centered and not that obsessed with anything other then their own situations for long. They will get used to you guys and probably accept it over time.

Girl, stop worrying about what other people say. I know its easier said than done, but trust me. If you really like him, dont let other people's thoughts contradict how you feel and what you do. And as far as you being too old for him...NO, youre not too old for him. If you are an 8th grader and he is a 6th grader then you two are not too far apart in age. But I see where youre coming from. If being with him makes you happy, then go for it.

To tell you the truth, that does sound a bit bizarre. The maturity level between a 12 year old male and a 14 year old female is quite vast. To be honest, I'm surprised you carry on this way. I would imagine things to be extremely awkward. But to each his own, I suppose. So goodluck to you. =)
