Dear At the Fence:

I have heard form some of my friends that my boyfriend has been cheating on me?  A lot of people really think that it's not that big of a deal because we are only 16.  I have been going out with Ben for 2 months and I skipped school just to be with him. A day after I skipped to spend the entire day with him I saw another girl leaving his house. I haven't had a chance to talk to him and I don't know what to do if he is cheating on me.  I don't know if I should give him another chance or break up with him for good.  PLEASE HELP!

Is he cheating?

Dear Is He Cheating?:

Did the two of you agree that you would not see other people? If not, then you have no reason to get upset. If you thought the two of you were a couple and would not see others, then you need to talk to him and find out what is going on. It's your decision whether or not to give him another chance. If he has a good explanation and if the two of you do agree that you want to date each other exclusively, then give it a try. But, don't give him chance after chance if he does cheat on you again.

I hope you're not playing around with sex. It just complicates a relationship at this point, and some guys will just use you for sex and not really care about having a long lasting relationship.

Best Wishes
