All relationships, no matter who it's with, go up and down but it's important that it's more positive than negative. A good relationship means that you can trust each other, be honest and respect each other. Relationships can also look different with different friends or family. One friend you might always hang out with at school and you have super fun while another only at football or online.

Whether you have a friendship or a love relationship, it's important that it's on equal terms and that you feel good together. No one should do things against your will or things that make you feel bad. A relationship often changes over time and is something that you need to nurture and care for together.

Hi I am 14 years old and will be 15 next year. I am dating a guy who is 18. Massa says it's illegal and I wonder if they are right? And what can happen then?

Your relationship itself is not illegal. However, because you are under 15, it is illegal for your boyfriend to have sexual intercourse with you. The Criminal Code states that anyone who has sexual intercourse or performs a similar act against a person under 15 years of age can be convicted of child rape.
