You gotta look at it from a teen's perspective or if you're actually their age.

I guess at that age it might be a huge deal but from the adults perspective, it's such a waste to date a guy that is willing to date a child. I know from experience that guys like that only want one thing and it's WAY too mature for a young girl. If we're talking an 8th grader and a freshmen...that's different but I knew 6 graders dating seniors and they are now the ones who the guy is in jail for rape and the girl is living with 3 children on the street corner. Little extreme but I know a few girls like that who started dating super young with guys that shouldn't be anywhere near them. That kind of age gap can wait until both are 18+. That's when age differences are acceptable.

What grade in middle school is she in?

[Firefly]

8th...i think

[Firefly]

lol What should you do if one of your friends says bad things about another friend of yours?

[LoveYourFaith_OD]

Don't get involved. In most cases when people are nosy and tell on the other they could lose one or both friends. People will always gossip and there's nothing you can do about it.

So just let it settle? okay lol I'll try that lol

Yea as long as they don't put you in the middle or talk about you it's really none of your business.
