" Not really that weird, as long as your friend looks a little older then 13 and acts like you it doesn't reallt matter, but if your hanging around with some short ass kid that doesn't know what "Masterbation" is, then I would steer clear. "
Or as long as you're not hanging out with a kid who can't spell masturbation. :P Seriously though, Buckdeth makes a valid point, as long as the kid is not way younger than you. It is a little bit of an odd occurrence when you're on the younger end of the spectrum, but it's not really strange. As long as you're good friends, that's not weird to do at all. The more you age, the less it'll feel strange. As long as you're able to maintain the same interests and do the same things with out age or life experience getting in the way, it seems fine. "
Ahaha, I'm like a 13 year old in my head still : P But yeah I agree, as long as your keep doing the same things and stick with the same interests, why not.
"The old you get, the less age matters. Many of my friends are 1-3 years younger than me. This was kind of weird in highschool, but now that I am almost 30 I don't even think about it. What's most important is if they are good friends. That's all that really counts. Plus, you'll be able to give them their first bar experience, which is a lot of fun. "
" I've got friends that are almost a decade younger than i am. "
I'd sound the cradle robber alarm if it wasn't on permanent James Woods duty. "
I'm age 32, so there's no reason to be alarmed, unless it wasn't mutual... then, it would be punishable by law. It was just a form of jocosity from your part, i take it...
" If you are 16, in two years it won't even occur to you whether or not it's odd. I have friends 5 to 10 years on either side of my age. High school confines us to artificial boundaries which, in truth, are meaningless at every other point in our lives. If you enjoy their company and they like hanging with you, then don't worry about it. Good friends are hard to find. Don't lose them to something as insignificant as high school's peer conformity. EDIT: Just be careful when they eventually ask you to buy beer for them. ;-D "
Couldn't have said it any better myself.
To the (few) people who said it does matter at around the age of 16 if you have friends who are 3 years younger, I would love to know your reasoning behind that. What exactly makes it weird?
I'd only worry if you were 18 and your friend was younger. At that age, he's a minor, and you're not. He could say anything and you could be knee-deep in a pile of shit. I don't hang out with friends under 18 for this reason
"not really, if it wasn't odd to be friends with him when you became friends then its not odd now. "
what?!? "
let me put it another way, you guy probably became friends before you hit puberty, therefore your friendship was not odd back then. now that youve hit puberty and he hasnt it feels odd to be friends with him. That'll only last until he hits puberty at which point the odd feeling will be gone "
If theyve been friends for a long time I dont think that the younger ones will feel strange about it. I imagine they all kind of look up to Ishouturface "
I just felt like quoting Pie for some reason, don't know why
and they look up to Ishoturface and say, YOUR MY HERO!
I have a friend 4 years younger then me, since elementary school. A girl too, which was weird at that age with the "girls have cooties" mentality that my classmates had.
No. I have friends that are up to 10 years older than me and I have friends that are 3-6 years younger than me, as well as friend my own age. I'm almost 24.
Well, I'm 13, and don't have any problems with having friends older or younger than me. Seriously, dude, no worries. As long as he is a cool duder, you should be friends with him.
The drummer in my friend's band (who also just so happens to play drums in my band whenever we decide to actually play together) just turned 14 a couple weeks ago. My friend and I are 21.
