Aged 15, going on 16 and never been in love
by Tash
(England)
Dear Stella,
I've just left secondary school and im moving onto college. But there's a problem. I've never been in love. I haven't even had a crush. All my other friends are in long term relationships now and I'm still on square one. What should I do? Is there something wrong with me?

From Stella:
Heaven's sake, girl, nothing is wrong with you! You are so very young and have decades of living ahead of you. Don't push it and don't worry about it. Love will visit you in it's own sweet time.
Those girlfriends of yours who are already in long-term "serious" relationships... those are the ones who will end up with two or three kids before they turn 21. They will miss the freedom to grow up first and have fun before buckling down to the hard work of relationships and family life.
No, Tash, you are on the right track. Study hard, do your best in college, but have fun and enjoy your childhood while it lasts.
Stella
