Vice: So you two are in love. How did you meet?

Deborah (15):

Online, three years ago. It was in the chat room of the Habbo Hotel. We liked each other and started to send photos of ourselves pretty soon after.

Thomas (16):

We chatted for about a year and looked at each other through our web cams.

When was the first time you met in real life?

Deborah:

After a year of chatting Thomas wanted to see me for real. I really wanted to meet him too. The first time my mother went too, just in case. After we met we went into town without her.

Is this your first “relationship”?

Both:

Yeah!

Do you see each other often?

Thomas:

Like once a week, mostly during weekends. I live outside the city, but my mum works with the bus company so I can travel for free.

Deborah:

When Thomas is in town, we sometimes go into the city or we just crash on the couch or work on the computer. Sometimes he stays the night.

Uh oh….

Deborah:

We only kiss though!

How long do you think you will stick together?

Thomas:

I am sure we will stay together for a long time. We’ve already been talking about having a kid. That would be nice.
