Hey Rosie!

Set your heart free. Consider yourself fortunate.

Hey Rosie,

I am 16 years old and strongly in love with this guy.

He is 23 years old and we have been together for two years now.

Recently, I have noticed that he hardly wants to talk to me. I don’t know why, Rosie. Please, I need your help.{{more}}

Confused

My dear young friend,

I know you are sad because this 23-year-old MAN is ignoring you at this time, but please hear me he is doing you a HUGE favour!

This isn’t normal you know that right? I keep hearing that at home it seems to be the norm for kids to be with grown men, but I am here to tell you that this isn’t right!

No matter that many people may have turned a blind eye to this trend, I am telling you NO! I know you are heartbroken and sad, but if you really think about it for a second, what kind of MAN goes after someone who is 7 years his junior? In fact, from what you said, you were seeing each other since you were 14? As your mother I would have filed a case at the Police Station! There would have been a big situation!

Set your heart free young one, consider yourself fortunate. Be the kid that you are, enjoy your friends (of your own age), laugh, hang out, share secrets, love your family and take sometime to find out more about you. I understand that you are hurt, but just look at it as a new unwritten chapter in your life that you can write a brilliant new and positive change about where you want to go from here.

Be strong and please don’t go begging back, you are above this and worth much more. Also don’t forget to put your education first.

Rosie
