I believe in consent The 18+ law makes sense, but last year one of my friends had sex with a girl (they were both 14 or 15 at the time and both consented and were sober) and her dad found out and charged him with statutory rape. I don't think thats right if they are both underage, he could've done the exact same to her, it just depends on who charges the other first In this case, if they want to let them do it, but I personally don't believe thats right at this age, but if they were older a 6 year difference could be perfectly reasonable. |

I don't get it. Sure, "love is love,: but six years is a rather big age difference. I've got a friend who's sixteen and dating a 20 year old. I'm still apprehensive about it even though I know she's happy with him and has been for a while. I always wonder what their intentions are. How did they meet them in the first place? Maybe a while ago I would have been fine with it when there weren't so many creeps out there but now you don't know who to trust. |

The age is now 17, not 18. IT is illegal for anyone over 18 to have sex or to be intimate with a 16 or lower age. |

Actually, there is a difference between rapes. That would be statutory rape. But you need parental consent. |

I don't care what the circumstances are. Sixteen is SIXTEEN and Twenty-Two is TWENTY-TWO. The difference in age is STATUTORY RAPE. I'm a 19-year-old guy, and I've already been through a lot in life. There are a lot of things I could explain, but the point of this is the LEGAL STANDPOINT. You CANNOT override the LEGAL CIRCUMSTANCES. Shall I rant any more? Twenty-Two and Sixteen are two FAR different ages. Here's the thing. At 16, you cannot drink, you cannot smoke, you cannot vote, you can BARELY legally drive. With a guy that is 22, you can expect that there's a possibility of him having alcohol of some sort, and that can lead to circumstances that are not under her control. Aside from that, considering the age differences, if she gets pregnant, even if the sex was consensual, then she can STILL claim rape. And as to that, she is likely to win, considering the legal side of that very issue headlines STATUTORY RAPE. Knowing who I am, the people that know me say that if I knew this guy, I would make sure that this guy has 2 options:
I call this the end of my rant, LINKSWORD2 |

I can't say that it is wrong for either of them to be engaging in sexual activities, especially considering the age difference, but I will say that trouble is bound to muster from the incident. The young girl will probably meet trouble with her parents, and if the nature of the matter was severe enough, the parents would likely want to press charges of some sort and/or want punishment to befall the 22-year old. So though I can't quite say it is right or wrong, but I would say that they should proceed in doing such things with caution. |

If the girl consents, I think it is fine. Age shouldn't matter in a relationship and you can't choose who you fall in love with. Last year I dated a 21 year old. Parents were ok with it. My dad gave him a few threats or rather "warnings" and that was that but we didn't have sex or anything like that. His story though, he's saying about finding girls to pick up and stuff. "V: “Yeah. It is. I find it easier than just asking a girl if she wants to ****.” Blonde” *Laughs* “It’s a good line. Just make sure to get two different shirts next time.” That gives the impression that all he wants is sex and he'll be on his way. Now THAT isn't right imo. [Just a note though, I haven't read the entire thing of his side yet.] |

Does it make me angry? No. Do I question whether it is a smart choice? Certainly. If I had a teenage daughter (or son for that matter) I would definitely encourage them to date someone their age, but I wouldn't go so far as to try and break them up unless there was a good reason. My thoughts are simply that I am only 21 and feel I could not have a meaningful relationship with a 16 year old. Yes it's only 6 years, but the problem is with how young 16 is. The 22 year old should be at a different stage in his life than the 16 year old, and if he still acts like a 16 year old then that is all the more reason not to date him. As you get older age gaps mean less because the life stages don't vary as much but by 22 a lot of people are looking for marriage, children, a career, etc while at 16 you should still be having fun as a kid and finishing off your primary education, getting your first job, applying to college and all of that. If it were a 22 and 28 year old it wouldn't be as big a deal because hopefully both are living on their own, have jobs, and common goals. I don't think it should be illegal or anything, but I would question the intent of the relationship when as I've said they should be at different points in their lives. |
