I was implying that many teenagers make terrible decisions, using her age as a way to explain her naïvity. I'm not saying ALL teens are like that though. That is completely different as they are both adults. Good. If they're in the United States, they should pray they don't get caught. Luckily they're in Canada. Same thing. Kinda reminds me of the MaryKay LeTourneau case....only they were in love, eventually got married, and had kids. Of course, they were bound by law at the time of the scandal. Some are, some aren't. Perhaps I'm surrounded by many stupid, immature teenage girls here in Southern California. Maybe not, maybe so. But the decisions that a lot of them make are ones they'd most likely regret in the future. Exactly. Exactly. That would be way more of an impressive feat to brag about. Even so, I strongly disagree with their decision, regardless of legality. Then again, this is my subjective opinion stemming from my morals.
Just like I said a 16 year old girl is sexually mature...girls mature sexually much earlier than men.
well this is also a matter of regional opinion, in alot of countries 16 is the age of adulthood, not to mention that women have sexualy matured by the time they are 16. USA laws are in the minority when it comes to sexual antics. most places liek the UK allow sex at the age of 16 with no restrictions. see id ont see a problem with this, if it is actualy love between the 2 consenting humans, age is not an issue aslong as they are both mature enough to understand everything that is going on. i wouldent know about girls from cali, yeah this is all down to subjective morals and opinions, i respect that, aslong as people dont try to dictate what other consenting mature humans get up too. we should be free to do what we like aslong as it does not harm others. if a 16 year old wants to date a 22 year old and the feeling is mutual then thats fine in my eyes, good luck to them. peace.
Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. Nature/evolution says yes, society/culture says no. I don't see the problem if they both consent and have a good time.
in future more like.... teenage pregnancy is so great. a kid having a kid for their grand grand grand grand parents to raise
Let's make something clear, shall we? I was referring to them having sex, not procreating. Not that it makes any difference if their goal is the latter: assuming they're financially ready to bear the costs/burden of having a child, I still see no problem with it. We as a species have done it for over one hundred thousand years. Surely, with modern society, we're more prepared to deal with it now than ever before.
I certainly would not allow my 16 year old daughter date a 22 year old. No freakin' way. I might let her date a 19 year old, but 22? No effing way.
Yeah, but he (the 19 year old) might be in high school. He's still a boy. She's definitely a girl. A girl should be dating boys, not men.
:bugeye: 1. And if she likes him enough to be determined to see him, you are going to stop her how? 2. Uhhh, yeah. The three scant years separating a 19 and 22 year old makes a huge difference.

Unless the 22 year old gets REAL lucky and lands a high paying job, he is going to be just as broke as the 19 year old, especially if they both are still in college.
Sexually mature isn't what matters here. Actually, girls are often sexually mature at 13, or even earlier. That doesn't mean she should go dating 22 year olds or 35 year olds. But according to you "She's sexually mature! Who cares?" What matters is overall maturity. At young ages like this, age matters, because it reflects emotional and intellectual maturity.
My neighbours daughter 18 and was going out with some loser 35.......she now has a baby, this guy treats her like shit.....and she looks like life has kicked the shit out of her. I have no idea what she was thinking..... Anyhow I am not sure how I feel about the 16 yr old dating the 22 yr old. But I DEFINATELY have a problem with some 30 yr MAN dating a 16 yr old KID
the higher the age of a woman...the more probability there is she will give birth to an unhealthy baby. (of course too low of an age...is bad as well)
Does that matter for this argument? I'm saying I wouldn't tolerate it. How might I stop her? I might threaten to punch her in the ovaries, give her a lobotomy when she's sleeping, chastity belt, house arrest, etc. Well, yeah, I agree, it doesn't make a huge difference. That's why I said I would probably tolerate it. Three years ain't a big thing. Six years, is a big thing, when we're dealing with such young ages. A 50 year old with a 56 year old? Sure. A 16 year old with a 22 year old? Not on my watch.
