Me personally, it's all about maturity. This kind of means nothing below 22
I'm 25.
However, it's all circumstantial. In other cultures, the age of 12 is widely accepted. Who am I to judge that?
In Illinois, the legal age is 17 I believe. Meh.
When I was 18/19 I was dating a 15/16 year old on and off. It worked fine until I hit 20, almost 21. Completely different ball park then.
When I was a teenager, I always saw 15/16 yr olds dating guys in there 20's. There has to be something about that besides easy p. I'm willing to bet that is when they are discovering their sexuality, and to be honest a teenage boy is not going to give them their best "education".
I don't really care. I don't judge too many people. Yall do what yall wan't unless it involves my family.
Speaking of which, when my sister was 16 she was trying to date this ex-teacher who was 24. This dude
Ex=teacher huh...
I know I'm not the only one that sees a vicious cycle in this post.
Anyways this topic is silly. The age is there to prevent adults from taking advantage of teens. Is it an exact science? Nope. there's always going to be special situations but I think it does more good than harm.
To put it into perspective, my mother was born in the philipines. I am a first generation American. My half-sister is not, we have the same dad. My mother was in her 30's/40's when I was born.
I guess if I am going to put my entire family's history on blast I might as well tell the full stories.
My mother was kidnapped/sold at the age of 12. Her family is from the southern islands of the philippines and she was drug to the northern islands against her will. This is why she had 4 kids by the time she was 16. She escaped, without her kids, and never looked back. Made her way to America, and birthed a few more children. My mother has been on the run her whole life. Because of this, all of her kids grew up without her. She has always been the target of some kidnapper/rapist/serial killer many many times in her life, and has avoided somewhere around 7 or 8 different attempts to kidnap her or kill her. She even testified against one guy and he got the death penalty. That guy killed/raped like 24 women. Another one of the guys is a sicko, who took very extreme measures to find her such as sending letters to our families. I did some d-tek work on this guy when I found out about it last year. I have reason to believe this guy is a legitimate pedo/serial killer in a dark/deep network. He made 4 or 5 attempts to kidnap my mom. Elaborate attempts that involved many other people, like a team, and borrowing other people's cars etc. (If you suspect someone is off in the head and they are borrowing your car... i'm just sayin).
When I was dating underage, I had started dating the girl in highschool. I had mother's, grandmother's and great-grandmother's consent. We were basically family, and we're living together during the last stages of our relationship. I thought that because she wasn't as corrupted as other girls, she could become the legitimate wifey. It worked very well for awhile. We were young, but we were both living on our own. Supporting ourselves, and really her nieces, nephews and even her mother. So we were much older in concept than our ID's would show. Anyways, it didn't work out because by the time I was 20, I was growing up into a man of different means. Different goals in life. Started realizing I didn't want to get caught up taking care of someone else's entire family, etc. I broke up with her. She ended up with my best friend after I dipped town for a better life, and they started their own little family. It's all good. I still love them all. We're all fambs.
Regarding my little sister and the 24 year old teacher, believe it or not my little sister had my parent's consent, my father and my stepmom. I hated it. I'm an NTer. I did d-tek work. The dude's myspace was full of descriptions of his "dream wedding" and "the perfect girl and guy", yet his myspace friends were full of young girls from the highschool. I had him checked out fully and pinned on a radar in case things wen't wrong. My father gave consent, because his reasoning was that "Your sister is smart and tough, she'll be okay. Besides, nobody wants to get on our family's bad side." And my stepmom's reasoning was "I dated older guys when I was her age too. We all did back then. Every teenage girl has talked to an older guy in one form or another. Your older sisters did too." I don't really know how any of that ended up. I was never around to be honest. All I know is they are just associates now, and my little sister is now/still a strong and intelligent woman.
My older sisters did actually date older, and my oldest sister actually married her older date and had twins. She was 16/17 and he was late 20's. They are doing very well. She is now a stay at home mom, and he works data security for the government. Her husband is like an older brother to me, and always has been. He was welcome in the family from day one, because he was a student of my father and also our neighbor.
There. That should give many many perspectives on this topic. Good and bad. I am an idiot for putting this stuff out there. But I was high, intoxicated and highly stressed when I made the original post on the subject last night. Friends don't let friends drink and NT
