Dear Panel,

I am 15 years old and am in a relationship with a boy who I have known for 3 or 4 years. Although we have only been together for 4 months, we are in love with each other, and I do not want to be with anyone else.

My friends and family urge me to "try out other people" before I determine that he is the only one for me.

Is it healthy for me to have only dated a few people and now decide not to date anymore, or are my parents and friends right? Help!
