Is it normal for a 21 year old to hang out with teens

I'm a 21 year old (female) and I realized i hang out with a lot of kids who are teens. i.e. 15-19 years old. Is this normal? I consider myself to be a geek. i.e. I like video games, horror films, comic books, and even anime. I don't really feel like I've changed much since High School either. (Note I do have friends that are my age but not a lot and I don't hang out with them as much anymore.) Am I normal or am I just a girl who needs to grow up?

    Im 19 and I know people 20-21 that still hang out with 16-17 year olds. We live in a small town so everybody knows everyone we are all friends.

    That's not much of an age difference. Besides, age doesn't matter as long as you share common interests. I have some friends who are a lot older than me, and some who are 3-4 years younger.

    At least you're not a 21 year old male hanging out with 13 year old girls.

    But yeah I'd consider that pretty normal and fine, you're with people who have your interests. It's all good.

    One of my friends bro used to hang with us. We were all 14 he was 18. I'd say it's normal. Just having fun.

    I'm a 21 year old male and my friends range from 17-25, so there's nothing weird about it, in fact I think like half are 17-19

    As long as you're not looking for a relationship or anything with them, it's fine. I hang with a group of people during the summer, whose ages range from 15-24, and it's fine, mostly because we have the same interests, and no one's out for a relationship (well, outside their age range, that is)

    I think it's borderline strange to hang out with 15ish year olds, just because...being 21 is so different than being 15. I guess it depends on whether or not you will continue to hang out with these people as they get older or if you will keep seeking out teenagers, lol. Then it could get weird ;)

    As long as this is coming from an innocent place I would say you're fine.

    I think fifteen is a bit strange, considering the differences between 15 and 21 year olds

    They've been people on this site older hanging out with teens. Normal.
