Should I be a bit concerned?
13/Male- I have this friend of mine, we've been friends for years now, and I kinda used to have feelings for her a few years ago, but then realized it was awkward that way and since then, just kinda back to liking her as a friend.. Anyway, she's 13 as well and I just found out she's dating a 16 year old, should i be slightly concerned? I mean, I'm probably thinking the worse, but it's been crossing my mind the last few days and am just kinda wondering if maybe I should be a little worried.. Most of my friends are dating 13-14 year olds.. Could there be a "reason" if you know what I mean, that he'd want to have her as a girlfriend? I mean, if I was 16, I'd probably be looking at someone around the similar age.. Just my opinion..
Thanks in Advance!

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
if your friend is acting the same, then there really should be nothing wrong. its natural for you to be concered with her dating someone older. I have a guy friend who is two years older then i am and we're very close. and we have history like you and your friend do. he'd want to make sure i was okay if i was dating someone. so if you see any changes in her, talk to her about it. but give her space, its her relationship. and her choice.

Hi there Chase!
Yeah I have a very close friend as well she's 14 years old, also a freshman in high school, and she's going out with a 17 year old guy who's a junior but they're really happy with each other and there seems to be nothing wrong with their relationship too. But anyway, it's great that you still care for your friend and that you're worried about her safety. You don't have to jump into conclusions so easily when you're not even sure if it's true yourself. Also, just because of the age difference it doesn't necessarily mean that this guy is just going to use her for his reasons. Maybe he really does love your friend that same way she does for him.
But if you're friend is feeling uncomfortable with the relationship or that there's something wrong, then don't be afraid to let her know that you'll be there for her no matter what and that you'll help her in anyway you can. Being concerned is what makes friends that best. =3
Hoped I helped a little!
