I appreciate your concern. Yes, I’m young. However, I am old enough to have a well-formed idea of what I would like with my life at the moment. No, a boy would never define who I am. I am an independent individual. It does not mean that I don’t want someone to confide in and to have there for me, as a boyfriend would be. 

On another note. Your comment about my not needing to worry for the next ten years? My mother was married before she was 25, and had me at age 25. A lot of people are married and have children before 25, and that is perfectly fine.

Sure, things will fall into line, and I need to let those things happen on their own. For now, though, I have an idea of what I would like to happen in my life, and if that means wanting a boyfriend at age 15 and maybe even getting married before, or at age 25, then so be it.
