if you really like this boy , then dont let it stop you from doing what u want..life is to short to worry about what your friends think..
you only have one life to live so live it up and , make the best of it you know? if your friends cant exept the fact of the matter than there not you true friends ,

you shouldn't worry, the worst that'll happen is that they'll make fun of it, they'll probably be like aww and stuff, but you can defend yourself by telling them he's really mature for his age. and i bet he is since you're into him. and eventually the embarrasment will blow over. also 2 yrs difference is nothing if you were a older couple.. my parents are 11 yrs apart, and my mom's older.

Don't worry about age, as long as you like him, it should work out. If people don't like that he is younger than you, they don't respect your decision. It's your choice who you go out with. A lot of people see age as a level of maturity or "coolness", but I very much disagree. My boyfriend will be 18 soon and I recently turned 16, and my parents HATE the fact that he will be two years older and they think he will automatically pressure me for things. Age is a number, and if people don't respect your decision on going out with him, they obviously don't respect you.
(By the way, look at adults age differences, my parents are like five years apart. As long as you like the guy, that's all that matters.)

From there:
Age is just a number. Think about it. What are your parents ages? Chances are that they are about 2 or 3 years different. My mom is 46 and my dad is 47- they're close- but let's pretend my dad is a 9th grader- well my mom would be an 8th grader. Is it weird that they're married? No. So does the situation change because they're younger? No. And if someone or anyone thinks that- they are just a bubbling idiot and they deserve to be smacked across the face. Only kidding. =D. But seriously, it isn't weird. If both of you are fine with it- then who CARES what the heck other people think? I certainly don't care that you're dating a 7th grader- age is just a number, again, and its only odd if you're a 9th grader dating a 45 year old man. =D.
