It depends. You are young, so it's not easy to tell. Do you feel aroused by girl at your age or older? Was this the first time or did you feel aroused by a girl that young or younger before? If it was a single case, don't worry about that. Even adults can get aroused by girls sometimes, so why pubertal boys couldn't? But if you feel more aroused by prepubescent girls than by girls at your age or older, then you are probably a pedophile. (But you are still young, I don't want to make definite conclusions.) But you need to know who pedophiles are. Pedophiles are people predominantly erotically attracted by children. It's not something one choose, not something one can change and not something one should feel guilty or ashamed for. Pedophiles don't equal child molesters. Yes, they are child molesters among pedophiles, but not only among pedophiles. And there are lots of pedophiles who are good people and who wouldn't hurt a child. And the are plenty of pedophiles living happy life. Some of pedophiles are even married, have kids. (It doesn't have to be opinion for everyone, but it is for some.) You can be a non-exclusive pedophile, feel mostly but not exclusively attracted to children. Or you can be "hetero" with some pedophilic attraction. If you felt you are a pedophile and wanted to talk more about that, you can e-mail me.

If you are primarily attracted to children, you are a pedophile. If not, then you are not a paedophile. Also, the age difference was not greater than 5 years and you are under 16, so it doesn't count according to the DSM.

Being a pedophile does not make you a child rapist - most probably are not even pedophiles.

There is nothing wrong with finding someone attractive. It is not harmful to them. And its normal. My best friend (20) prefers women in their 30s, but has admitting to finding a few rare girls as young as 8 to be attractive. How many other people has he admitted that to? Probably none. If he didn't know I was a pedo he probably wouldn't have told me. Your peers are likely the same way.

You are a pedo, but it's okay as long as you do not do anything stupid. It's a phase and it will go away as years pass. Don't worry, not all pedophiles grow up to become rapists or child abusers. Besides, the fact that you are aware that it is wrong shows that you are sane, and you will very likely NOT stoop to level of a criminal pedo. Keep it a secret and if it gets any worse, tell someone.

Even if you are a paedo (which you're not unless you're primarily attracted to prepubescents) there's lots of worse things you could be, like a Mormon or a ginger. Cheer up and stop fretting about things you have no control over, like who you're attracted to. Besides, with all the sexy 8-year-olds around these days, who wouldn't want to be a dirty old perve?

No you are not. Not by any real standards and not legally. You are however a young teen boy going thru alot of hormones and it it will take its toll on your emotions and feelings. Let it go and live a happy life always looking forward and dont dwell on guilty feelings. You cannot change the past my young friend.

Guilt over what? Being attracted to a cute girl? If that's something to be guilty over, the entire human race is guilty a million times over.

well, first of all, girls mature faster than boys.. so no, probably not

what was it ABOUT her that aroused you? when I was 13, I got aroused if the WIND blew me.

are you "always", regularly, or only attracted to "8-9 maybe 10"? then maybe so

frankly at 14 its WAY too soon to tell, you're normal kid, perfectly normal. DONT stress out over trivia like that.

You're not a pedophile, you're just a young person growing up.

Don't worry, it's just hormones. Just don't act on those urges and you're fine.

Technically, you can't really be one until you're an adult. Doesn't count bro.

I'm 14 year

Old boy but when I was 13 I was aroused by a girl who was rather 8-9 maybe 10 and madturbated a little bit but then stopped. I AM NOT A PEDO I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WITH CHILDREN AND NEVER WILL ( I have 3 brothers) I know I'm not a pedo but the guilt is killing me

And I need someone to clarify it. Ps my brother is ill with a disease and I don't need all this on my plate. Hormones? Puberty? I'm still young so?

"Am I a pedo at 14?...I AM NOT A PEDO"

Your post is an obvious hoax, and it has been reported.

You're not
