I've been together with my boyfriend for a year and month once midnight hits. i don't have much of a family. My mother died on the 9th of february a couple years back. That was exactly right before I turned 10 years old. I always thought I was a badluck child since my mother was diagnosed with kidney failure the day i was born. She was always in and out the hospital. My whole life it was always a routine to visit "mommy" at the hospital. It was fourth grade when I realized i had to start learning how to take care of myself. I had always know my whole life but it really hit me as a realization in fourth grade for some reason I can't explain. Besides my mother being in the hospital I had to go through things.. I rather leave unspoken for now.. But with all these experiences I grew out of my kid mentality and and matured at a young age. My family was always amazed at my ability to understand most of the things other kids simply couldn't comprehend. I was always one step ahead of everyone in my age range. But enough of telling my whole life's story, what I wanted to get through was that what if you're both the same age physically and mentally? What if even though considered young on my birth certificate, I can still connect with him on the same level? Everyone who knows us as a couple hasn't suspected a thing. Everyone who looks at us thinks we're just another couple. In fact, the only weird looks we get in public are when we're simply being weird ourselves. I'm fourteen and he's 21. I don't either look or act my age. But the point I'm dying to get through is I think it really shouldn't matter the age as long as you can connect on the same level and no one's being forced into anything. 

I agree that you guys probably have a wonderful relationship despite your controversial age difference…but you have to realize that your situation is very lucky. Just because your relationship is a good one doesn’t mean that other 21 year olds won’t deceive fourteen year olds in an attempt to hurt them. It’s unfortunately just a fact of life, even if you’re lucky enough to go against the norm.
