Hi Blood of Raven
I asked my daughter ~ almost 14 ~ to look at this as well.
Her concern was that your boyfriend is so much older than you. I'm not sure of the law there but, over here, 15 is still a minor and 19 is an adult.
I agree that this might be a worry to me, if I were your parent. I do think that you should tell your father about him. I know that you are concerned about stressing him, but I really do think that he would prefer to know.
Certainly you can make friends with anyone you wish and I know of no law on friendship. I don't know South Africa, but I cannot believe that girls, there, can only meet others if their boyfriends come along ~ though some boys might be wary and concerned about the safety of their girls ~ remember, there are boys who will take advantage of vulnerable young girls.
Please take care of yourself.
