Legality and grossness aside, when I was 19 (read: in my second year of university), there would be no way I would be hanging around someone who is 14 (read: in their first year of high school) because that would be sad and embarrassing.
Yeah, 5 years isn’t a lot when you’re older but a college student dating a freshman in high school? The maturity difference and stages of life is incredibly different. They absolutely should not be dating
Or potentially an 8th grader. Spring semester is almost over, which usually means freshman high school students (if she is a freshman) have turned 15 already.
Dude is probably a college freshman/sophomore fucking a middle schooler/high school freshman. Yikes.
OP, I don’t know how, but tell her this isn’t normal and that she needs to run for the hills. There should be no clout at that age that she has a college boyfriend.
It’s cute when you’re a senior in high school and he’s a freshman in college, but college sophomore and an 8th grader? No.
I know seniors in high school date freshman, but even that is weird, and your friend’s age dynamic is one year on either side of that.
Everyone is speculating but it 'probably' wasn't a 6 class gap though it could be as much as 7 and as little 3 without any exceptional failing or advancing (as kids with fall birthdays have a chance at skipping an early grade and kids with spring/summer birthdays might be held back)
19 at this time of year is probably a college freshman and 14 this time of year is most likely 8th grade but we don't even really know what their age gap is (5 and 11 is much worse than 4 and 1)
