Okay so, a few months ago I had a huge OCD related problem about my sexuality. I thought I was gay when I actually wasn't and I was obsessing over it. Now I think that I may be a pedophile.
I'm 16 (Almost 17) I've never been attracted to little children (Say 11 and under) but there are certain girls in my school who are 12/13 and above who I find sexually attractive. Theser girls usually look much older than they actually are. A lot wear makeup, wear really high skirts etc.) I find my own age and older people attractive too though.
Do you think I am a pedophile? I've never, ever thought of younger children in a sexual way. It's only 12/13 who look more mature. There are other girls in their year that are the same age but are nowhere near as matured etc.
What do you guys think? Thanks.

No, I don't think you are a paedophile. Men being attracted to mature looking 13+ year olds is quite common and natural. It makes things worse when girls dress in clothing and wear makeup which have quite sexual connotations and perhaps emphasize their mature features. So I don't think you have anything to worry about, especially since you're only 16 and there is a short age difference.
