Is it inappropriate for a junior to date a freshman? Just to provide some context—I’m a junior and I turned sixteen at the beginning of this school year.

It’s great that you’re considering the implications of dating someone who’s a year younger, and it sounds like you both have a lot in common. The age difference you mentioned is quite small, especially given that you’re both in high school and share similar maturity levels.

Relationships in high school can be a great way to learn about yourself and what you want in a partner. Just make sure to communicate openly with each other and ensure that you both feel good about the relationship. Respecting each other’s boundaries, especially since you mentioned it’s non-sexual, is also really important. Ultimately, it’s about how you both feel. As long as you’re happy and supportive of each other, that’s what matters most!
