FIRST OF ALL: I know it's legal, but it's not ideal. Eight years is a lot when you're a teenager. I can't profess to know your exact situation but I can kind of see where everyone else is coming from.

That said, what do you want help with?

ive seen worse situations before from where i live, so it doesnt surprise me, but with some other people it can surprise them and even disgust them. please dont take any notice of it. age difference does not matter! my parents have a 12 year age gap and theyve been married 22 years this sunday.

of course we'll help, what' the problem?

and yeah the age gap is big, but it' not that important.

Don't listen to anybody who tells you that age difference is a problem. Age is just a number and if he loves you and treats you right that's all that matters.

Girl... If he makes you happy and if you guys are in love. WHO CARES what other people think. Age is nothing but a number and if your parents dont have a promblem with it dont worry about what other people may say. When I was 16 I was dating a 21 year old he was the love of my life. He was my first and where still together Plenty of people had bad things to say but i ignored it. So the moral of my reply is Dont worry about what these people say about your relationship, as long as your man makes you happy thats all you need to worry about, and your baby will be fine.

age aint nuttin but a number, ive always dated guys way older than me, i think that if ur boyfriend is that good, then ya'll were meant for each other

There is nothing to be ashamed of. When I first got pregnant I was 14 years old and my boyfriend at the time was 27, which was a 12 year difference. I didn't think it was a big deal because I also stated he didn;t rape me I wanted to have sex and I got pregnant there wasn't much more to say. He was very very nice to me and always had him at my side. I married him due to the situation that in the United States if there is a older man having sex with a minor is totally paying the price and he did he was in jail for 30 days and got house arrest for 1 year. But like I had told them you cannot criticize or tell me anything since we both wanted this to happen.

Trust me I went through alot myself. Just be happy enjoy life because no one is going to live your life but yourself. Enjot it seems he cares about you and treats you right and that is what a women needs. Who cares about the age.

hey im 17 and just had a baby girl i was 16 when i found out i was prego and if anyone needs to talk im all ears and i got great tip on being a mommy and to help during and after pregnacy

Age gaps mean nothing to me. If it's legal and you're happy then go for it who cares what other people think it's YOUR life so go ahead and live it for you and only you. My sister is 20 and her husband is 31 and they have got two children together, got married earlier this year, have their own home and are trying for baby number three after christmas and there's 11 years between them

Its ligal in Australia too I see nothing wrong with it

age is of no importance.As long as you are both happy together then
there is nothing to stop you carrying on your relationship. I am 15 have a son aged 2 and the father is 18. I know that their is not a big age group. Live your life how you want afterall it is your`s to live no-one elses.

Although I do feel 16 and 24 is way wrong I wont criticize you for it.

You feel pregnant or ARE pregnant? have you tested?

Honey when I was 13-15 I was engaged twice by a man 26 and 29. At My matuarity level at the time, I felt I would never be with a guy my age and the reason the multiple men I was with didn't feel bad about being with me was because of my maturity level. I'm only 18 now and still to this day I only date older men because that's just my personality level. I've been with men 40 years old before. I did feel bad about that though because I knew it couldn't go futher so the fact is that I believe if your mature enough and you want to be with an adult then you need to be one yourself when it comes to your mind.

Don't worry about with everyone else thinks. If your family is ok with it then don't worry honey and let love take it's chances. Your young and just know that you have lots of time to still figure out yourself because I always thought I know exactly how I was until I got older and now I'm just getting started

Like everyone else has said,age is just a number.
I met my bf when I was 16 and he had just turned 30,we have been together for 2 years now and it's amazing.With him I can be myself,I can live the way I want to.I used to date guys that were closer in age to me but I found them to be so immature,always wanting to play videogames or go bmx-ing or skate boarding.I really had nothing in common with any of them,and found myself bored all the time.
Now I am at home with my child everyday,I babysit other kids just to make some extra money.I love being home,cooking meals and just doing the whole housewife thing.I know that probably sounds weird and all but this is what I like doing.
I love my bf and he is 13 years older than me.
Any questions you might have,just ask.There will be no judgment from me.

okay so what he is older! my parents have a like a 12 year difference! if u2 love eachother and u know ur going to be together then i say okay! good luck !

I am 23 and my OH is 37! We are trying for a baby. Don't worry about it

yeah they are right age is just a number. so are you pregnant?
