I am thirteen years old, and is in a happy relationship and love my boyfriend who is eighteen... and we are not sexually active... and won't be for awhile... does that make it illegal... should we be together... should I stop talking to him... what do I do... I really want to be with him but I do not want to break up with him... plus we want to have kids later on

Legal, no issue, but I do wonder what a n ADULT has in common with a early teen CHILD!

As Ben said, its not illegal. There are no laws governing dating.

But I also agree with him that an 18 yr old has NO business being in a romantic relationship with a 13 yr old, sexual or not. Yes this is VERY wrong on many levels. A 13 yr old shouldn't even be dating one on one yet. What do your parents think about this? How long have you been "dating"?

He is an adult, you are a child. You don't have a true conception of what love is at this stage in your life. Clearly you have been discussing sex which, in itself is wrong for someone your age.

.....plus we want to have kids later onWhy are you thinking about having children while you're still 13?
