i had sex with my cousin what should i do?

so i was like 13 and she was 13 too and i had already had a ******* from my last gf which i only had one and me and my cousin were hanging out and it turned into sex. it was only one time about 11 months ago and i never did anything again. anyways no one knows but us two and i thought everything was cool and it was a one time thing but she still tries to flirt and i think i mightve emotionally hurt her cause she has emotional breakdowns now and shes kinda dumb and bad crazy. but idk what to do. should i talk to her about it? we never did anything else and i dont plan on it and i hope she doesnt cause i dont want to be mean to her cause shes emotionally bad already. should i still just flirt with her to be nice? btw my uncle got married to her mom. we have no bloodlines together only marriage and we didnt grow up around each other we just occasionally saw each other on holidays and half of those she wasnt even there.

    OK, first of all, the "cousin" thing isn't THAT big a deal. I know, a lot of people think it's weird, but 1) you're not even related by DNA, 2) in some states in the USA and in many places in the world, cousin marriage is still legal, and 3) cousin marriage has been around for ages, and many famous people married their cousins, including Charles Darwin, Queen Victoria, Albert Einstein, Edgar Allan Poe, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage

    The whole cousin thing aside, this is complicated because you're both young and, as you've noted, she seems to be having issues. No, I would not flirt with her to be "nice." It's not "nice" to give someone false hopes or to be insincere about your intentions. Maybe have a heart-to-heart talk with her. Tell her that you regret what happened and that most of all you regret the effect it seems to have had on her, you've no interest in flirting but are concerned about her well-being. I would try to get her to talk with a trusted, well-adjusted adult, if you can think of one (church? school? family member?) so she can get some help with her problems.

    Good god man she is your cousin. My Lord...I really don't like criticizing people on YA but wow. i don't know when people started to have sex at 13 and with your cousin. Have fun with this very very embarrassing dilemma.
