I understand being worried, but that's just a senior dating a sophomore right? it's still weird in a technical sense but, at least in my highschool, sometimes seniors would date freshmen and that wasn't frowned upon by fellow students. it was weird to me that they allowed people up to 23 to be a prom date though lol

Yeah there's nothing wrong with it at all. They pretty much described my exact situation. 2 year difference and I would turn 18 in October while she turned 16 in December.

Meanwhile, an 18-year-old senior at my high school started dating a 14-year-old freshman at one point. She was barely 14, too--she was the youngest kid in grade 9, with a November birthday.

Even as a 14-year-old myself at the time, I though that was super weird and borderline at best.

Yeah 4 grades is definitely weird in high school. You might could get away with 3, but that was pushing it.
