We first met two years ago at a picnic we been friends ever since! Ever since then I have been going to their house and playing video games and swimming in their pool. Their mother and father dont mind because I still act like im 12. lol Is this normal or am i weird?
It's not common, but not totally weird. If you like them as a friend, then they're your friend.
If they were your ONLY friend or if you wanted them in a sexual way, then that would be abnormal and you should stop going there. The parents probably see you as a mentor/babysitter/friend for their kid.
When im around them I always try to a positive influence I anyways hardly ever cuss. and I am friends with their cousin which is 4 months older than me so yea and ewwwww i would never even think about doing that to them ewwwwww im no perv
Why should friendship be limited to a given age? As long as you're not a pedo lol. But it's totally normal. I have a friend who's like 6 or 7 years older than me. Can't remember exactly.
Like a big brother or someone they can look up to ? Then yeah it's normal.
Sure, it sounds like you're an older sibling figure to them, and that's actually kinda nice. I'm thinking about signing up for the Big Sisters programme and mentoring a younger girl. As long as you're not a pedo, I'd say it's fine.
Dont listen to social stereotypes and semantics its fine as long as it stays above the belt.
It doesn't have to be wierd. Who cares, it's like babysitting at the weirdest. Or an older sibling, must be nice for tge parents. Just be a hood influence. Good*
sounds like your a big brother. Im 22 and my little brother is 9 we do things together all the time and i love him more then anything.
Thats sweet, i wish i had someone like you when i was 10/12 cuz youd be like an older sibling, role model, babysitter and friend!! You sound like a lovely person spending time with them x totally normal :)
you can play and swim with the kids but other times hang out with yr own age, then it balances
i wouldnt be happy with my daughter hanging about with you even if you are innocent
It's normal and cool to be friends with someone regardless of their age, but I think you should try to act your age around their parents... like don't just mooch off them like you're a 5th grader, offer to help them clean up or give your friend rides and stuff
In an ideal world, there is nothing wrong with this.
In the real world, especially the uber-paranoid USA, however... I'm an adult who works with kids and teens and I have to say you are playing with fire. Sooner or later someone is going to accuse you of inappropriate behavior with the kids, regardless of whether you actually did anything or not. And once that accusation is made you are forever "questionable" regardless of your innocence. At 22 you should have friends of your own age. If you continue being friends with these kids you need to make sure 1) you are friends with their parents first and the kids second, and 2) you are never in any situation where you are unable to prove your innocence. So make sure there is another adult present at all times.
Perfectly normal!! When it comes to friendship - and other things - age shouldn't matter.
just like my 'ex' bestfriend. but its only because no one wants to be friends with her. sad right?
in 10 years from now guy can get marries to one of them and then it won't be so creepy ^_^
