Question: I'm meeting my boyfriend for the first time in person and I am nervous! We met on the internet. I'm 15 and he's 17. He lives an hour away and we are going to meet tomorrow. How can I not be so nervous? I have no self-confidence.

Answers:
Mr. Know:  When I was 17, you could not pay me to date a 15 year old. Darling, he can't really be your boyfriend if you've never met. Have you seen his picture? This seems a little odd. If I were you, I would bring your dad with you. He could be a predator. Hello! You've seen it on TV.

Ms. Mystery:  Have you spoke to him on the phone or only online? Either way, take someone with you for protection the first time you meet him - take a strong man. Do NOT meet him alone or in an uncrowded place. Follow your instincts. You haven't met him so he's a stranger at this point. Many girls your age have been abducted in situations like this and sold into sex slavery. Sorry to scare you, but it's a fact! Be sure people know where you are going and who your are meeting.
