Is it okay for me to date this girl?
I’m 15 and she’s 14, and we’ve been chatting a lot lately. I’m a sophomore, while she’s in 8th grade. Some of my friends are saying it’s inappropriate, but she’ll be turning 15 next month. Does this seem strange to anyone?

It’s great that you’re thinking carefully about this situation. Age differences can be viewed differently depending on the context, especially when both individuals are young and close in age. Since she’s turning 15 soon and you’re already 15, that gap closes even more.
It’s important to consider a few things:
1. Maturity and Interests: Make sure that you both share common interests and are on the same level of maturity. This can help ensure a smoother connection.
2. Friend Group Opinions: While friends’ opinions matter, you should ultimately focus on what feels right for you and her. Don’t let peer pressure dictate your feelings.
3. Respect and Understanding: Make sure that whatever you pursue is based on mutual respect and understanding, and that you both feel comfortable with the relationship.
If you both like each other and communicate well, then there’s nothing inherently wrong with dating. Just make sure to approach the relationship thoughtfully and respectfully.
