Should a 12 year old date a 17 year old?

[JediJaida]

21? Is that all? If I were her mother, she wouldn't date until she was 50!

A 12 year old of either gender dating a 17 year old of either gender is just wrong!

The 17 year old needs to learn about a little something called 'statutory rape', and how it will affect him if he lets his hormones rule him.

The guy's a pervert

I'll bet in a few years he'll still be dating 12 year olds.

Normal people his age are just plain not even attracted to kids ... and she's a kid

I think you said the keyword there "NORMAL"

This is bordering on pedophile territory though, and the school system is largely to blame here. 12 year olds should not be going to school with people old enough to go to war.

What he said. The mind boggles that the school would even allow it. That's all kinds of wrong.

hell no. that kid needs to be locked in the house

hell no. that kid needs to be locked in the house

and the 17 year old put in jail or at least councilling.

Ewwww! A 12-yr.-old has no business "dating" unless it's supervised, or in a group w/ a bunch of other 12-yr.-olds. You have to wonder why this 17-yr.-old can't date girls his own age. What the heck is wrong w/ him? And more importantly, what the heck is wrong w/ her parents to even think this is remotely OK?

A 17 year old DATING a 12 year old? That is called statutory rape my friend. She is not at the legal age to give that kind of consent. And if that was my daughter I would find that guy and threaten to castrate his pathetic a*s if he ever so much as looked at her again.

[garagesale]

Not my 12-y/o daughter! Not even when she's 14. 15... I MIGHT consider if the wife and I were doubling.

Do you really need to ask?

NO DOUBT!!!!




what the hell, when I was 17 I never found a little girl attractive ... and that's what a 12 year old is ... a little girl.

This is just all kinds of messed up!

Yeah, I'd think a 17-year-old would be ashamed to be seen with a 12-year-old. If she were my daughter, I'd probably call the boys' parents and tell them they need to get a handle on their son before he winds up in jail for kiddie fiddling. Something's stunted him from being able to engage girls his own age. At any rate, I couldn't imagine either set of parents going along with that.

[starsky]

heck no! 12 is way too young to be going out on dates let alone with a 17 year old.

Yes!

Even up here where there are so many "open-minded" (read: brains falling out) people the age of consent for sexual activity was raised from 14 to 16 in 2008.

Sexual activity could be even a 17 year old copping a feel.

Does the USA have a "peer Group" clause? If the boy was 13 there wouldn't be a problem but the age difference has to be less than 2 years...

A friend of mines 17 year old daughter went out with a 15 year old boy in school. they are now raising a little girl and he isn't of age yet! So , no i don't think a twelve year old should be going on any dates, never mind with someone that old!

Ok , I feel its wrong, but I remember when I used to go to boarding school, we also had day people, but I do remember one girl in our year, and we were only thirteen, she was so much more developed than her piers, looking more like 16, and remember her boasting she had a 18 year old boyfriend.Some girls simply develop more quicker, and u cant tell with them.
