Thank you all for your advice.
Well, I just wanted to write in for the last time, and tell everyone on this forum thank you for your advice. Even if I didn't particularly like it, I still listened, and kept it in mind. I decided to go to my school counselor and ask for some advice. I told my self that if she felt the same way, then I will do the right thing, and put my boyfriends well being in front of my selfish thoughts of keeping him for my own happiness. She told me, that it is legal. With this sign of relief I wanted some ground in which to hold her up upon this. So together we got in contact with a police officer, who ironically enough, was her husband. He made sure everything was legal and it is. I can not explain the amount of relief I felt inside. After this, I finally did come clean with my boyfriend and told him the truth. I told him my age, 15, and I told him that everything I have ever told him was the complete truth, except for the number. Which yes, you were right, is what my relationship was based upon because of the principle of my age was known as being 100% legal. After I told him this, he wasn’t sure what to think. He told me that yes he was upset, but feelings just don’t disappear over a number. He got in contact with his criminal justice professor, a good teacher/friend of his through his college, and he was also relieved. So after this was stable in our relationship, I introduced him to my parents. You know the ones who didn’t care, and I thought were feeling less and cold hearted. They turned out to be really cool about it. Since my boyfriend looks like he could be 16 or 17, they never asked me his age right away. But I did want to be honest and straight forward with them since they were already upset I kept this relationship secrete for almost a month. My boyfriend is sort of like your daughters Catilins Way, I wouldn’t so much classify his as idiot, because he is intelligent and insightful, but he acts like a little younger and his mentality is probably around a 17 year olds. And CBG, I appreciate your wise advice. You are right, you have been around longer to see the normal heart breaks of teenage girls. But isn’t that what growing up is all about. Yes, I do beg to differ with you. You cant make all the mistakes in the world to learn from them, therefore learn from others, right? And that’s what I believe I have done. I have many older brothers and sisters and I have witnessed the mind games that both sexes do to each other. And believe it or not, I do understand what you are saying. I have had, and sometimes still do think to my self, why is he with a 15 year old. What does he see in me? But I suppose he sees something in me that he doesn’t see in the average 18 year old. Regardless, I appreciate your advice, and even if I do not follow, which I will be honest and tell you, I am not going to break up with him because I am worried I might alter my future and I am going to take that risk, I will keep your advice in mind and be careful in my decision making process. My parents absolutely adore him, and think he is awesome. I am absolutely shocked by this. I know he is a great guy, but the fact that the people, who I thought were monsters, and who I have witnessed dislike person after person that my older siblings have brought home, actually like the first person their youngest daughter brought home is an amazement to me. He eats dinner with us, and made my family breakfast after spending the night at my house (in the guest bedroom after a long night of movie watching). Anyway, I wish I would have came clean earlier with my parents. He is loved by all in my house and on the 29th he and I are going to fly down to Texas so I can meet his parents. I have never been happier. I appreciate everyone’s input and advice. I will keep it in mind. Thank you, and have a great holiday season.
