Age!!

Is it wrong for me to be 16 turning 17 in August to be dating a 21 year old?

I love him and so do my parents he’s lovely but people around me keep saying it’s wrong?

But he’s never once tried to force me to do anything I don’t want too he’s encouraged me to actually do the things I want to do and be more confident with myself

I’m so confused right now my parents think it’s okay just want to hear opinions this won’t change my view I just want to hear different

(I’m in college not high school)

My parents are also 8 years apart and my mum and dad are still happily married

I’d also like to clarify I do not think I’m special to him 🙄

I’m very aware of what can happen in age difference relationships I have a good head on me I’m not easily taken advantage of :)

(Not arguing just stating my opinion)
