One Smooth Talking 14 Year Old!

[aeris2001x2]

I can trade a toddler a nice piece of candy for his bike. I bet the toddler might even WANT the candy. Candy is nice after all. Fact is that what the child wants is irrelevant; that's the whole point of the law. Children are too ignorant to know what they want. Teenagers are less ignorant than 6-year-olds, but they are as uncapable of consent as a toddler according to the law. They are NOT adults. They are half-berserk with hormones anyways. They are often unable to fully understand the consequences of their actions. The 14-year-old probably did WANT to have sex, because he was too ignorant to see how completely wrong it was to do it. It doesn't matter who started the relationship; the consent of the adult was necessary, and if a 14-year-old is propositioning an adult, it's up to the adult to say no. Does a 14-year-old understand what it means to be a parent? Does a 14-year-old understand that having sex can kill you? Does a 14-year-old understand the emotional baggage that comes along with sex, or SHOULD come along? Maybe a few 14-year-olds do; enough don't that it's a good thing to create a law to protect them.

its this sort of arrogant sounding, dertiministic, ageist, stuff that annoys me. i think most 14 year olds can understand the implications of sex, so as long as they consent its fine. its only a sexual assult if one of the two things above is missing, unless there still a child (ie below 13) and a teenager. because as a teenager u are quite able 2 make your own descions. to imply that they are still children or to imply that because your an adult u can automaticalry make desicions better then a teenager is just naive. this teacher should only get the sack 4 breaking teacher ethics, not unapprioprate jail time.

the law should understand the difference between a consenting relationship and sexual assult and rape.

ok maybe i went a bit overboard over Unne,s comment. but i do think it was a bit too insulting to teenagers intellegence. serious question: are you like in your thirtys and cant remember being a teenager?
