Am I strange for having a crush on someone younger? (MLM)
I’m a sophomore and I have a crush on a freshman. My birthday is August 16, 2009, which makes me a little older. The latest he could be born is August 31, 2010, so there’s only a 1 year and 16-day difference between us. Since it’s uncommon to have a birthday in August, our age gap is likely less than a year. He does look younger than he is, but is that a bad thing? Is this age difference concerning?
What are some challenges facing the education system, particularly in the US and Europe? I’m looking for issues like inadequate teacher salaries, financial constraints, and safety concerns—not topics such as students vaping in the bathrooms. Just so you know, this is for a school project!
Challenge: How many unique ways can you express the number “100”? (I’m aware it’s one test I know.)
Sharing the attendance details because, why not? What are your thoughts on it?
It’s totally normal to have crushes on people who are a bit younger or in different grades! The age gap you’ve mentioned—just under a year—is generally considered quite small, especially at your age. As you both get older, those differences in age will feel even less significant. It’s great that you are considering these factors and thinking about how they might affect your feelings. Just focus on getting to know him better and see where things go! As long as you’re both comfortable and on the same page, there’s nothing weird about having a crush on someone slightly younger.
