Alot of people fall in love young and stay together their whole lives. So if that's true, there's no hurry to do any one thing. Just live your life normally. Finish school, work, save money, have friends, etc. And if it's true love it will all fall into place. Why does age matter? Because people need time to transition from children to adults. It doesn't happen over night on one's 16th or 18th or 21st birthday. It's gradual. One needs to accumulate experience and legal status in order to make certain decisions rightfully and accurately.
Good luck.

Age matters in the teens due to the rapid maturing that can happen at that stage in a person's life.
It has been found that the human brain continues to grow up to 19 years of age. That means a decision you make at 17 you wouldn't make at 19 or 20. If you get married at that age you may be sorry for that decision. Most of us make some life changing decisions at that age.
Also, an older person can take advantage of a younger person. That means that someone older can con you into a decision you wouldn't make at a later time.
In the law in most states a person below 18 can cancel a contract where the person below 18 doesn't buy goods that they need to sustain life (groceries, shelter,etc). However a person can easily get pregnant before that age and the military will take you at 17. So go figure.

I assume this guy is older and you been dating him since you were 15!? Pardon the expression but now you are legal tender. As anyone gets older a myriad of changes come tumbling down--your professional goals, personal desires, family, friends, what you want in a man...all these things become more confusing and also more in focus. I don't think you thought about this 3 years ago.
His age does matter not that it would break you up, but that in terms of a longer term relationship, it may not be in the cards.
The more you tell me, the more I can offer as insight or advice. I've been there.

how old is he?
in alot of cases, i dont think age matters,
but in some cases maturity comes into play, and life experience, where two people will approach each other with such different outlooks on life (determined by what theyve gotten to experience so far, and i dont just mean in terms of other relationships) that, emotionally, their outlooks and expectations and needs from a relationship just differ too greatly.
if youre 18, chances are youre pretty much in the clear, but how old is he? if youve been able to make it work for 3 years, then youre probably ok, because as time goes on the age difference becomes less and less significant as well.

Age matters for a variety of reasons. The big ones are:
1. You will both change as you age.
2. You are currently living in an environment where you are supported financially. Most breakups/divorces are about---tah dah MONEY. You haven't even had to experience that one yet.
3. Real relationships involve time and effort...not just hanging out after school.
4. Big life changes are coming.
Believe me...after college, reality will set in. Most high school relationships don't even make it through the freshman year of college.

How old is she. If the age differeence is 3 years or less you are ok. Tht seems to be the universal agae difference allowed. I'm ina relationship with a 21 year old and Im 18 and we have a great relationship so u should be fine.

I think a healthy relationship means being able to relate and understand the perspectives of your partner. Though it is possible not probable that there can be a large age difference and a couple can live harmoniously

It dont really, concerning things that are not dependant on physical ability. In this case, I would sat no-at least to a certain point. Like my husband in almost 10 years older than me, but I could never be with anyone old enough to be my father.
