Am I selfish?
Kahea, 13 from Texas asks:
Am I selfish because I don't want my boyfriend to move to Wisconsin?
Emilie’s Advice:
No, you’re not selfish. You like him and don’t want him to leave. But you are 13 and there’s not much you can do if he moves away. I know it’s hard to think about the future when you’re a teenager, but you’ll have lots of other boyfriends that will come and go. That’s how life works. And it’s great because that’s how you figure out what you like and don’t like in a partner! If you only dated one guy, you’d never get to learn all about different types of people, and what qualities were really important to you.
Believe me, you will miss him at first but you’ll be having so much fun meeting new people and doing new things (like going to high school where there are LOTS of new guys!) that you won’t feel sad for very long.
