To keep stupid 14 year olds who have an emotional melt down if they get a zit from being taken advantage of by an adult. If a 18 year old is going out with a 14 year old it is for 1 of 2 reasons A he is using the 14 old lack of self esteem or naivete to use against her or B he prey on young girls as a pedaphile |

This is to prevent men from taking advantage of young girls who are not experienced enough to make sound decisions. |

You are a minor, he is an ADULT!! He can go to jail if your parents press charges....so yes. |

Beats me.....but personally if I had a 14-year old daughter and I saw her with an 18-year old I'd be chasing him up the block with a gun. |

No 18 yr old should be dating a 14 yr old. At 18 a person is considered an adult, but a 14 yr old is still a kid. I know, I know, "But I LOOOOVE him." Wait five years. It will all be different. |

its called statutory rape and its there to protect children ,and as a way to let your parents decide before your of legal age to decide on your own if said activity is appropriate |

Cuz you are 14 and that be an easy target for a guy that is over 18 to get what he wants from you before you even know it. |

I'm under the impression that you are 14. If you have an 18 year old boyfriend he will not be arrested for being your boyfriend but for what he might possibly be doing with you. It's for your protection because at 14 even tho you may think you know what is best for you you DON'T. At 18 a person is considered an adult and even tho that person might and probably is not that much more mentally mature than a person at 14 they are still considered an adult and it is morally and legally wrong for an adult to do certain things with a child, which at 14 you are. People just don't want to see a child taken advantage of by an adult. |

At age 14 you are not legally considered capable of making adult decisions concerning intimacy but an 18 year old is expected to make adult decisions. Also in your just starting teen years your emotions are out of wack because your bodies are changing to become an adult and there is a lot going on with hormones. When you have someone that is an adult that is becoming intimate with you they have a better chance of manipulating your ability to choice what is best for you. This is of course not always the case but the vast majority of the time it is. The law is there to protect teen agers from these new adults that are just out for one thing from a younger person that they know they can control easier than someone their own age. I don't know your 18 year old but I do know that if he is one of the many; you are too close to see it and won't until it is too late. Then your going to get hurt really bad. If he is truly in love with you and not a child predator and the two of you do have an intimate relationship your both chancing putting him behind bars AND making him sign for the rest of his life as a child predator. It is best to wait to have a relationship until you are old enough for this not to happen. If the two of you truly love each other you will find your way back to each other. That is definitely easier said than done but it is the best choice at this time for you. |
