The Panelist said:

You're only 16, you have a lot of time for relationships.

A Reader Responds:

Everyone Matures at Different Rates

I disagree. Sixteen is not too young! Eveyone matures emotionally at completely different rates and saying that someone is too young is both a little patronizing and not giving someone the full understanding they deserve.

I too am sixteen and this feeling has gone on for three years. I am tired of being told I'm too young. It really doesn't help. It doesn't get rid of the pain or the depression.

This Person Needs To Hear Strategy

Shouldn't the asker be given strategy instead of being told she's too young? She needs help to make her happy! We all do!

Teen Girls Need To Be Careful

I'm glad you agree. All girls should be able to tell if guys just want a piece.

However, the part where she talks about sex within 2 months, I would agree. Teenage girls especially, have to be careful about sex stuff.

Thank you.
