Is this love? I am confused. I am 15 years old and my boyfriend is 22. I live with my sister and aunt in Ohio. He has a job. He is a nice person but he calls me too often. I love him but I also need a break from him. I just don't know how to tell him because he may think I am seeing someone else, but I am not. We have had sex with each other more than once. He tried to hit me once, but I stopped him by telling him that I am going to leave him.

He helps me with my homework and guides me as best as he can. I know that he is older than me but my feelings for him are very strong. My friends know about him and they think that what we are doing is wrong.

Please tell me what to do. I am stressed out and confused. Can love really be so strong?

Dear R.J.,

This guy is not leading you in the right direction. You are only 15 years old and he is having sex with you. He knows that he should not go to bed with a 15-year-old girl. Your friends are discouraging you from continuing with this man and they are quite correct.

Another thing, this guy has attempted to hit you. He is out of order. Please end the relationship with him. You are heading in the wrong direction.
