  My oldest daughter is 13 and there's NO F*CKING WAY I'd let that happen. Don't do it! He will hurt you :(

  3 years make a difference at your age. Once someone hits their 20's or so, 3 years is no big deal.

  I AM ONLY 21, BUT I REMEMBER BEING 13 AND LIKING OLDER GUYS IS VERY COMMON. I CAN SEE WHERE YOUR MOM IS COMING FROM BECAUSE REALLY 13 IS TOO YOUNG TO ACTUALLY DATE ANYWAY, IN MY OPINION. WHEN GUYS ARE 16 THEY WANT TO TAKE GIRLS OUT BECAUSE THEY DRIVE AND I WOULDNT WANT MY 13 YEAR OLD ALONE IN A CAR WITH SOME 16 YEAR OLD BOY, LOL. WHEN YOU ARE AROUND 15 OR 16 AND GUYS ARE 18 AND 19 IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BETTER. ITS HARD FOR PARENTS TO GET USED TO THE IDEA OF DATING ANYWAY, SO GIVE YOUR MOM SOME TIME AND JUST ENJOY YOUR FRIENDS AND "CRUSHING"! LOL. HOPE THAT HELPED A LITTLE...GOOD LUCK. JUST REMEMBER YOUR MOM IS TRYING TO BE YOUR FRIEND NOT YOUR ENEMY.

  He is too old for you. Yes there are people out there that are married and maybe three years apart, but they are older and not in school. When you're in school, three years is a big diff. When you are a freshman, he'll be a junior or senior. Soon he'll be going off to college and you'll be still in high school. You'll loose contact, even if you both promise that you won't, and then it won't be the same anymore. A year older or younger is okay, but not three years.

  At your age, a 3-year age difference is a lot. As you get older, age difference will matter less and less, that's why it's common to see married couples with more than a 3-year age difference. I'm 28 and my boyfriend is 24, but our age difference hardly ever comes into play. However, had we started dating when I was 18 and he was 14, we would not have been right for each other at all.

  Yes, 3 year difference at your age makes a big difference. I can understand why your mother is worried. If I was you I would wait a couple years to start dating. Of course even at 13 it's normal to have feelings for other boys and stuff. I was once a 13 year old myself :)

  He's really not too old for you but he's in high school and there is an entirely different world going on there. Think about the fact that when you are a freshman, he will have graduated, likely gone on to college and started an entirely different world, again. Your mom is just trying to protect because she's probably been there.

  16 year old boys only have one thing on their minds, as do 17 and 18 and 27 and 37. At 13 you don't want to go through that. Just enjoy your crush and text if you must, but listen to your mother and don't let him or your friends talk you into something that no 13 year old is every ready to handle. My 16 year old just started an interest in boys, and though I was worried that I may have been too strict, she is very well adjusted and seeing a 16 year old boy. When you are 18 and still talking to this 21 year old boy, then go for it.... I know not the answer you were looking for, but listen to your mother.... We do sometimes know what is best. not always ;P

  I don't know if it's only me or what, but lately I've been seeing a "blog epidemic" of 13 year olds at Shine. Big percent of blogs are about 13 year olds. What's up with that? I don't know but lately it has made say to myself: "mmmmmmmhhhh"
