There is something VERY wrong with a 12-year-old dating a 16-year-old. First of all, a person who is only 12 is not ready for a full, advanced relationship with an experienced person.I have to agree with the first poster...if the boy really cared about her, he'd want what was best for her. Any 16-year-old with any common sense should know that....I question this guy's intentions. I reckon he wants to use her for something.

It may seem innocent now, but this could (and very likely will) turn out to be a very dangerous relationship. Get your friend out of it now before it's too late.

There's nothing wrong with that, but I think you should look out for her. Sometimes older boys pressure younger girls to do things. Make sure she doesn't feel pressured at all, and hopefully her parents know. If they don't know, you should tell your friend to tell her parents. It's not the best thing to be running around with a 17 year old when you're only 12. What people do at 12 and what people do at 17 are two different things. Pretty soon he'll be 18 and it'll be illegal for them to be dating. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but just watch out for her.

I think that this relationship is wrong. People say things like "Age is only a number" or "When you are 50 and he's 55, you won't even notice it!" Still, when she is only 12, and her boyfriend is almost 17, it's not right because the 17 year old has a lot more experience than her. He's been through probably half or more of high school, and she's only in 6th or 7th grade. He can drive (at least a learners permit) and she can't and won't be able to for a long time. He's been in more relationships than her. And also, the biggest one is that he is much more mature, physically and...how would you say this?..."hormon-ally". Yes, I know that isn't a word =] but he is probably going to want to do things like sex that she isn't ready for. So that relationship isn't such a good idea. Try talking to your friend about all the stuff I said. Hope I helped =]

Dear Age difference,

To me I don't think there is something wrong with that because if they like eachother they are not going to care wut everyone else thinks about it they're going to do what ever they want. And i also personally don't think there is anything wrong with that because i dated someone for 3 months that was 4 years older than me.

Everyone nowadays is saying that those things aren't wrong, but in truth, it really is. If he's 16, he probably has a lot more experience with girls, so he'll be pushing your 12 year old friend to do stuff that she might not be ready for, if you know what I mean. Yes, like sex. He might take her to wild clubs and everything. Things could get a little uncomfortable.
Your friend shouldn't be going too far with this relationship. For now, let her be with him, but if he starts pressuring her to do stuff, tell her that she shouldn't go 'there'. If the guy really cares about your friend, he'd understand that she's too young but go out with her anyway.

Hope I've helped
