I was wondering what you would consider the right age to date.

Anyway, I am 16+ and I have a boyfriend. Do you think that I'm too young?

Also, although we are in the same class, and we see each other very often as a result.

However, he hardly brings me out and spends most of his time outside school with his friends. I know that his friends are important but sometimes I feel so upset about it. Am I over-reacting?

If dating means getting to know someone better without a special commitment, then it is OK for you to do this. It is natural for someone your age to be interested in a special relationship.

It is also healthy for you to get to know members of the opposite sex and develop social and interacting skills that will be very much needed in your working life and adulthood.

However, it is certainly too early for you to go steady with one boy as you still have some way to go in your life journey. Take your time to socialise and meet different people. Getting involved now in a special relationship will take up much of your precious time that should be devoted to your studies and family.

As the both of you see each other a lot, it may be good for you to just maintain a special friendship without needing to put an additional strain on your comfortable relationship with him and your friends.

All the best in your coming examinations.
