Except when you are young, it's a difference. She's only a 13 year old and your 17. She's a young adolescent and your a teenager. I think you should marry girls that are 16 or older. As you get older, a four year old difference is small because both of you will be mature adults. I think you should get some other girls. She might be a nice girl, but she's way too young for you!
Hope I didn't make your feelings go down. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
iliveadream answered Friday May 11 2007, 12:25 am: In my opinion, it is wrong. Not just because of the age difference, but the difference in maturity. The 17 year old is a lot older, more experienced, and more mature with certain things as sexual experience, peer pressure, and things like that. Where as the 13 year old has not gone through anything near a 17 year old has. Honestly, I think it would be a bad idea to get the two involved. It would be a lot better later on down the road when the two of them were older and around the same maturity level and understandings of certain things.

I personally don't think it's wrong or wierd, if you guys really like each other and the age difference doesn't bother you. Honestly, that's all that matters. As long as you two aren't bothered by the age difference, it doesn't matter what other people think or say. However, keep in mind that next year you'll be 18 and she'll still be a minor so it'll be against the law. It will be illegal to have any sort of sexual contact with her... and even if you don't it could still turn into a bad situation. If someone found out you had a sexual relationship (if you do) you can be charged for statutory rape and a felony. You would be listed as a sexual prediotor and would most likely go to prison.
TheDayTripper answered Thursday May 10 2007, 10:42 pm: In my opinion,yes.As the boy is becoming a mature man and getting ready for the jump into the real world,the girl is still just a girl.The boy has gathered a bunch of life experiences that the girl most likely hasn't and won't have for quite some time.
Point:Age difference is fine,but only when the people in question are in the same stages of life.
LM answered Thursday May 10 2007, 10:40 pm: No, as long as the guy isn't using her for sex or anything like that. I'll admit, it IS a bit young. But I've met plenty of mature 13-year-olds and immature 17-year-olds. This could really go either way, and to provide my full opinion I'd have to personally know both of the people involved :)
Regardless, use your judgement. If the girl feels pressured, she shouldn't be forced to do anything. Likewise, the guy shouldn't force her to do anything either. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
eclair answered Thursday May 10 2007, 10:39 pm: Personally? As a 19 year old female I would say yes. When I was 13 I certainly wasn't emotionally capable of dealing with the kind of situations a relationship with someone that much older and with different hormone levels and degrees of life experience could get me into.
