I am a sophomore in highschool and I am sort of in a relationship with a 22 year old. Do you think this is strange or perfectly fine? Any advice/comments are appreciated :]

I don't know if you're from the UK or not, but over here if someone is over 18 and seeing somebody in high school or of a young age, then it's actually illegal and against the law.
This is due to the risk of peer pressure and forcing you into doing things you're not comfortable with.
If you're both happy then there's not much anybody can do about it, however if adults find out then its likely this guy could get into trouble!
I'm not expert on relationships with these age gaps, but I'm pretty sure of the main outline.

First off, I think this is totally a matter of opinion. I personally, don't see anything wrong with it as long as you're comfortable with the age difference, comfortable with the guy and he isn't pressuring you to do anything you don't want to.

-Mark Twain

That's truly one of my favorite quotes. Heck, I live my life by it. Unless you feel this guy is trying to coherce you into something you don't wanna do, it's fine. No matter what we say here, you'll probably just keep dating him anyway.who are others, specially the government, to tell you who to love? That's just my honesty, but good luck. <3.

Hi,
No, I do not think this is a good idea. You are much too young to be in a relationship with a 22 year old man. According to most states, this is statutory rape. I really think that you should get out of it as quickly as you can.
I don't know how long you've been seeing him, and if it has been a while it might be difficult for you to do. He knows that it is wrong and he should be ashamed of himself. I know this may seem exciting for you to be with him, but in the long run, I think you may get hurt.
Do your parents know, if so, what would they think about it. Talk to them, if that is not possible try talking to someone else that you trust.
I hope I helped. Good luck,

If your relationship is purely platonic, then that is fine. However, a 14 year old going out with a 22 year is not. He will want more from you than you should give at your age and you have school to think about as well. If you feel the need to hide this relationship from your parents, then you know it is wrong. Have they met him yet and what is their opinion? I hope that your decision, whatever you decide, will make you happy. Good luck.
