Young Love

Aiko,

I'm 15 years old and in love, I know that she's "the one" but the problems is that she's only in the 8th grade. I don't want to tell her because we're really good friends and I don't want to ruin our relationship.

-James

Dear James,

You are both so young. Don't risk ruining your friendship. If you tell her you'll probably end up in a relationship, which complecates things, and if you break up, it will be hard to get her back.  Keep being her really good friend and tell her how much her friendship means to you.  Make sure you tell her how much you care about her and always be there for her.

Sincerely,

Aiko
