Hello there Eve!
As a certified boy with certified boy experience, I can tell you it’s the girls that make good mates, that make great girlfriends. Relationships are as much about friendship then anything else.
When it comes to stopping your friends teasing you, all I’d say is be honest with them. Tell them that it upsets you when they are mean and that you’d never make them feel uncomfortable about their insecurities.
Have you ever thought that when your friends make remarks about you being good mates with boys it could be a bit of jealousy?
It’s really important you’re honest with your mum as well. Get a couple of brews on the go and ask her for a big heart to heart. It’s amazing what can be solved over a cup of sugary tea.
And finally, I don’t really think now’s the time to start worrying about marriage ;-). I’m positive none of the boys you know will be thinking about walking down the aisle quite yet. Just carry on being who you want to be and the rest will definitely fall into place.
Good luck,
Grant (a boy)
