I’m 17 he is 22

I don’t really think it’s that bad but my friends are judging me and it is aggravating. My thing is in the United Kingdom it’s legal and I know I’m not there but still. Also a lot of people back in the day married people way older than them and had babies super young. But anyways I really like him and it’s not like we are having sex or anything. Also I’m very mature due to things I been through so I basically had to raise myself for a good chunk of my life but yeah I think I should just live my life and do me regardless of what my friends think
