Is it normal that a 13 year old keeps texting me?

44% Normal
20 Comments

I'm 20 and a junior from my previous school who i've never actually met started texting me recently after my birthday. I first avoided replying to her because I thought it was creepy but then I realised it's not fair to judge. I believe I'm a good role model. Having headed the debating society and the school magazine, I always give her good advice on books and whatnot but I still feel weird when a random "Sup?" pops in. I mean, she's gotta have friends her own age right?

    Where this gets really 'creepy', as you said, is the fact you've never met this girl. I am assuming you are a girl, because it would be pure insanity to involve yourself in any way with a 13 year old girl if you are a 20 year old guy.

        I wasn't sure if you were a man or woman, but yeah, maybe she likes you. If so, you should probably tell her you don't like her back, and that a relationship would be illegal. Tell her nicely...she will move on eventually.

    When I was 18-19 I was texting a 10 year old for a few months. we found each other on tumblr and just started talking. I did't know she was 10 at first but when I found out I didn't mind. she was funny and interesting to talk to. Eventually we stopped talking but now I'm 20 and shes 12 and we still talk every now and then. So I think your fine just be aware if she asks you for anything dirty, be cautious of that and you'll be fine.

    don't judge her. maybe she just wants to be your friend because you're older and she thinks that's "cool". it doesn't necessarily mean she has a crush on you.

      Of course not! Your point makes absolute sense to me.

    I think it's okay to speak to her about school things or something she needs help with, but simply having a casual conversation with someone like her seems a bit awkward to me.

    That is weird. You should've cut off contact the moment she said she was underaged. Even creepier is how managed to get ahold of your phone number.

        It was Facebook? Sorry about that. I still think it's weird. I guess she asked someone for your name and that's how she found you.

    You, sure seem to be a good leader and roll model that was when you were in your school environment: Help her to keep having her roll models in the school environment as they can help her to grow and mature as she pursues her studies: I guess her parents are advising her re her friends and keeping good company: So, stop for a time replying to her advances and if she continues be honest with her: you ahve your life at 20 tell her to get a life a 13

      At her age you really need to not contact her at all via the phone anymore. If her parents find out about it you will NOT be looked upon favorably AT ALL.

        If they actually read the messages, they should not see me negatively. Also, now she doesnt text anymore. I feel it's okay now
        thanks

    Most phones have an option to block a specific phone number.

    I don't think age matters that much in friendships. But how does she have your number if you haven't met? Like the above comment said, that's weirder than the age difference.
