Irene asks?

I am 13 years old, is it okay to give my phone number to a 17 year old boy?

MR. GOODADVICE RESPONDS:

You should be asking your parent's this question, not me! The fact that you feel the need to keep this a secret from them shows me that you already know in your heart that this is a bad idea. There is very little that a 13 year old and a 17 year can have in common, so find someone your own age!

There is nothing but trouble coming your way if you choose to ignore my advice. You are way too young to be dealing with someone this guy's age, slow down and enjoy being a kid! This guy is either a real creep or just plain immature if he wants to have a relationship with you. I know that sounds harsh but it's true. You should be wondering why he can't find a girl his own age.

Do yourself a favor, leave this situation alone! At a minimum talk with your parent's before giving out your number, I am sure they will agree with me. However, don't be suprised if your father hunts this guy down and beats the crap out if him.
