I'm 15 and my girlfriend is 14. Am I a pedophile because I'm attracted to her and she's under 18?
Is it wrong for me to be attracted to my girlfriend?
Wait what? Normal teenage experiences. A pedophile is someone that is attracted to children meaning under your age category. This is regarding mostly adults that are over age of 18. You are only one year apart. Try and focus on friendship and work on keeping yourself busy in activities so that you are not having these type of thoughts. Direct this energy into a more productive activity like sports, reading, biking, exercising or something other than negative thought patterns. Don't attract what isn't supposed to be part of your life. good luck.
