    I am 16 years old and it seems that you have alot to say but I am happily married at 16 and am expecting a child soon because the boyfriend is older dosen't mean it won't work so let people discover on ther own what they want and what they don'tthat is the olny true way to know what there is and isn't.That is a common mistake people don't alow other to make up there own minds.

    I am falling love with this guy at school, and he likes me a lot too. I will be 15 in a week, and am very mature for my age. He is 17 and will be 18 in april. The only reason we aren't going out is because his parents think I'm to young, but they haven't even met me yet. We both are Christians and go to a Christian school. Also, we have both taken a commitment to wait until we are married to have sex. I know his intentions of going out with me are not to get me alone, so what's the problem with us dating?
