If you're really that worried, just analyze what it is that you like about them.
For starters, many tv shows/movies hire mid-to-older teenagers to play the younger ones. And like Gran mentioned, there's a lot of people who look younger than they actually are. In addition, you're still in high school, so that's what, maybe a 5 year age difference? That kind of gap can be iffy when in school, but when you're (both) older it's really nothing.
The second thing is that you should figure out what it is that you like about them. Is it their personality/the character they play, how they handle themselves, or certain physical features? If what you like about them is their very youthful appearance, that's when you need to start worrying. ^^;
There's a number of characters/actors on tv that I like, but that doesn't mean I want to date guys that are 20 years older or 10 years younger than me. It just means that there are certain attributes that I really like, and so will look for those when going through my dating prospects. It's nothing creepy, it's just figuring out what you want (or don't want) in your partner.

You should probably talk to a therapist.

I guess I'm attracted to the physical attributes...It's kinda creepy how young he is, but he has such a manly face. =/

Don't even bother until you're out of college and settled in somewhere unless you and your prospective compadre miraculously have the exact same goals in life.
I said that as general advice since almost nobody on this board, even now, should care. Not about you specifically I have never been attracted to an underage boy I cannot help you

Dead Squirrels? @vp: I don't think at this stage in life it is so terribly concerning to find a young person attractive. As Jade pointed out, as senior in HS, that's only 5 years difference. A lIfetime, true, but really a normal average span between people. later in life. Unless the tendency prevails and is not just this one individual, I would not yet worry. There have been enough people who crushed badly on young starlets (yes, like Miley Cyrus, when she was about that age) but that does - for most people - not mean they would actually act on it.

I'm not talking about his attraction to some guy on tv. I'm talking about the general problems and issues that he is bringing up in this thread. An TV forum on the internet is no place to go for this kind of advice.

An TV forum on the internet is no place to go for this kind of advice. LOL, This is the OGB. I am sure he knows we are not shrinks or otherwise related to Dr Phil. The whole OGB is not related to the TV show. And considering how long we have been around, it's just a matter of time when those questions pop up. (Missing GuG here, as my Advice Aunt sidekick)

My point still stands. Nothing to be ashamed of if you need to get help from a professional.

If it turns into a real problem, any of the things discussed here, then speaking to a professional would be okay by me. BUT he's graduated high school. His life is about to change A LOT. And I can say from experience that once you get out of high school, the focus on relationships dwindles massively. If he really starts to have issues, then he can seek professional help, but I think right now, he's just looking for a little friendly advice.

Though VP makes me feel like a perv for being all giddy after having been checked out by that cute guy, probably not much older than my kid...

And then there was this hot bridesmaid...But her husband glared when I ogled glanced at her.
I really think I'm just looking around since I'm bored, now that I think about it, hahaha.
