Hi @World breaker, I'm Aurora, I'm one of the support mentors here at Ditch the Label and I give support and advice to those who reach out to us. Thank you for getting in touch. Please know that it is very common to have these thoughts at your age. Personally I don't think there is a specific age from when we might start thinking about who we find attractive. I think it varies from person to person and some  might have crushes earlier and others later. It sounds like you've been able to talk to your parents about how you feel. Is that right? How did it go?

Does that mean you can't talk to them about it until you're 16 or do you think you can still talk about how you feel? Also, is there anyone else you've told about how you feel?
