Posted by Anonymous on 2017/10/13 under Life Hi I am 16 years old and already in love with my boyfriend of two months. We want to marry once we are done with school and work together and have a baby. My parents and friends say that this is fleeting. My childhood best friend recently admitted his love for me and he thinks that I will be with him once my "fleeting feelings" with my boyfriend pass. I am so mad right now. I don't understand why everyone else thinks that they know what's best for me. For one, I don't ever choose to date my best friend, in fact, right now, his position as my "best friend" is being questioned. Secondly, while it's true and I am young and this is too soon to plan, it's nice to have something common to look forward to. By sharing our visions and working towards it, I feel safe that we will handle any hurdles along the way. I understand my parents' worry though and I am sure in time, we will prove to them through our own efforts that we mean what we say. People say I am too mature for my age. Maybe that's true but I don't feel like going to clubs, hopping form one person to another and be curious like that. I am a twin at heart, my sign is Gemini and I like to have a partner in crime if that helps anyone to understand my situation. Ugh…

And yes, we both plan on going to school. I will work and hold the fort while he’s studying. Once he gets a reputable job, he will hold the fort for me and I will get my education. We already planned it out.
For the moment: Don’t lash back to the people who doubt you, who try to tell you who to be. Let them talk. What does it matter.
Be who you want to be. Do what you want. If having a vision for the future helps, then hold it. But don’t live by it.
Talk to your best friend. Find out where he is coming from, how long has he had these feelings, does he not like your relationship solely because of that reason or something else, can he be your best friend while you date someone else etc. And decide if you want him as your best friend.
Parents are parents. They will always worry. So be honest with them because (hopefully) they love you and want the best for you. This is easier if you and they are honest with each other.
