Dear Karen

I don’t know what to do. I’m in love with a popstar, it’s ridiculous, I know, and I can’t help but look at his picture every night before I go to bed. I’m only 15 and he’s in his 30’s! He’s old enough to be my dad! I’ve had problems finding a proper boyfriend because of my obsession!!!

Would love to hear back from you

Hi Sarah,
I have to tell you that when I was your age I was totally in love with David Van Day from Dollar and then Paul Young, neither of whom you will remember but more importantly, neither of whom I would want to be with now! Every inch of my wall and ceiling were covered with Paul Young, in fact the whole school used to deliver their posters of him to my classroom. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
I don’t think it’s unhealthy, I think it’s normal and I’ll tell you why I think girls get obsessed like this. You are becoming a woman and the boys around you are still boys. Women mature faster than men so these popstars seem grown up and mature and obviously more exciting than the boys you know.
Also it’s really important not to do things before you are ready. I wasn’t really ready for a sexual relationship at your age so actually it was better to fantasize about a popstar. Don’t rush it with a real boyfriend.
Don’t worry about it. It’s perfectly normal. You’ll move on when you are ready.
He’ll probably want to go out with you when you 30 and he’ll be 50 something and you’ll think he’s old and wrinkly!!
Love Karen
PS. Is he in Take That??
