Is this age gap unusual?
So here’s the situation: I (in Year 9) have a crush on a guy in Year 10. Usually, I wouldn’t think too much about just the grade difference, but since we go to different schools, the ages vary based on where you are. I’ll be turning 14 soon, while he’s turning 16 this year. Does this seem weird? Some of my friends say it is, while others think it’s fine.

If you both like each other and feel comfortable, then there’s no reason you can’t explore that connection. Just listen to your instincts and consider what feels right for you, regardless of what your friends think!
