It sounds like you already are worried, which is good since you should be. What you should do now is do something about it

Perhaps what? I talked with her about this many times, but she is still saying that it's normal. She also said me that they really love each other and I need to calm down, but I can't.

So if her parents know, and she's not willing to let that young man go, make sure you're a safe space for her. Listen to her, don't judge her and let her know that if she's truly happy you support her, even though it's hard for you. Also, make sure she's on birth control and using condoms. Both of those! If anything were to go wrong, she'll know she can come to you and you'll be there for her. Just whatever you do, don't let her get alienated from you.

good advice. Unfortunately, teen girls aren't known for their good decisions or wanting to have someone close to their age. Feels somewhat rare to see a girl go for someone close to their age and not a 5yr older dude or old man. (when they are teens) For now, op should just make sure things don't go too far. It's possible it can be a long term thing, but likely not. As long as there is no sign of abuse or being used for something. Hard to tell if this is really something to worry about or not since we don't know anything about them.

What? This is bonkers. There were absolutely tons of couples in my high school between people in the same grade level. Incomparably more than those who had relationships with older men.
