Re: Will I get in lega trouble?
Age of consent laws vary widely by location, so without knowing your location (your profile suggests one, but your IP suggests somewhere very different, so...), I couldn't tell you for sure.
However, at these ages, a four-year-age difference is actually pretty huge, especially for someone 14, something you can probably appreciate having been 14 yourself in the past. So, I'd personally be concerned about this even if it is legal. It can be particularly hard for guys that age (any age, tbh, but especially when so young) to feel able to say no to sex or that they're not ready: most will just go along with things because they want to (even if they're not ready, or it's not a good situation for them) to save face.
Have you thought about the pretty huge power differential between you? Have you talked about it with friends or family? Have you and this guy talked about it?
