What do you think boys and girls...

A 15 and 10 year old is a bad example. It's just wrong.

Wonderful posts, Lisser, Gay Jeffrey, and RainMustFall. I agree with all of the points you have made.

how do i get my posts to show up and when i registered?

Queen4Ever - I think that was the point.

Personally, I would apply something I was taught by a good friend of mine when I first got to know him. I was 16 at that time, and he was 20 or 21. There was and is nothing romantic or sexual in our friendship, but when we first met I was worried he would not talk to me once knowing my age. However he turned out to have a philosophy I like, namely that age doesn't matter. There are so many and big gaps between how people think. We have 20 year olds acting as mature as a 14 year old, and we have 14 year olds acting more maturely than adults. It's all about person. I would consider the case from how I know the persons involved, not purely from the number-difference in years. I've known 14 year olds and 15 year olds whom I don't think would fit with anyone from 18 and up. Then again I'm a trusted friend of the beforementioned 21 year old whom I met at 16, and personally I think I act SO much more mature than my own parents at the moment (their fucking their lives up and destroying each other).

As a sidenote, I heard on the radio that British scientist have found that the average 14 year old girl is as mature as the average 20 year old guy. ;-)

thanks Janet DAMMIT!! ;)

I have to laugh at that bc I used to think my name was Lissa dammit. My name is Melissa but my mom always called me Lissa. When I did something wrong my name was Lissa Dammit.

I hijacked the topic!! DAMMIT!! sorry, tee hee.

uhmm...IMO it depends on "mental" age of the boy and the girl. It depends on where they live and the cultural circumstances of both of them, and it depends on what they want. (mostly what the 20 yo wants from this relation..he can cause some "damages")

As people get older, age matters less. (IE noone would say or think anything negative about a 33 year old and a 28 year old couple.) But at such a young age it does matter and they are not "just numbers."

All i gotta say is if you're in amaerica if you dont like your "freedom" then fire away...
but then again some people just dont care so *shrug*

This is off subject but, Mr. North, Your profile is comic GOLD. :|

but then again my choir director (who is about 50) is married to a 30 or 35 year old man... hmmm...

I think that's not a good age difference

no way that young would one of my kids date a 20year old

now if they were 20 on up and dating someone 5yrs older--no problem then...


and please remember ELVIS DIDNT DO NO DRUGS!

My niece started dating her boyfriend when she was 15 and he was 21. My brother opposed it from the outset but her Mum.......put her on the pill! Fair enough, it's wise to take precautions but he was breaking the law, it's as simple as that. Her attitude was 'well, she's nearly 16' which ,to me and my brother, was unbelievable.

She left home at 16 to live with him and to this day I have no idea what his real name is - we just call him 'Paedo'.

well, if anything under 20 is wrong

then what about a 19 yr old and a 27 yr old?
or a 19 yr old and a 43 yr old? is that wrong?
